The Parenting Prescription

Every parent essentially wants the same two things: a child who is happy and a child who does well. The only real question is ‘how’. Parenting today is harder than it has ever been. The world has changed beyond recognition, and the old methods of fear and force barely work anybmore. In over forty years as a paediatrician, Dr Ravi Malik has sat with lakhs of Indian families and watched one truth hold firm: Children do not grow into kind, confident, responsible adults through fear, comparison or control. They grow through connection, through a calm, present parent, and a home they feel safe in. Warm, practical and deeply Indian, The Parenting Prescription dismantles the myths we inherited from ‘spare the rod’ to the tyranny of marks and offers something better: The art of raising a child who carries their own inner compass. A wiser, calmer way to do the most important job of all. Stop correcting. Start connecting.
