Shipra Tiwari is a counsellor who tells parents “Your child is a Champion!” As an administrator she engages a kid, saying, “You are my favourite kid.”

She hugs children when they come for counselling, believing in what Princess Diana once said: Hugs can do great amounts of good, especially for children.

“I think there are several things that can be done, certainly for the kids I work with,” she says.

To quote a parent who had recently taken a counselling session for her kid: “My daughter felt perfect about her that day when we met Mrs. Shipra.”

This is really true, as youngsters under her guidance discover skills they had never known they possessed. Parents experience something similar when they encounter Mrs. Shipra, who gives them wonderful parenting advice.

Mrs. Shipra has conducted hundreds of workshops on Early Childhood Education (ECA), sharing simple yet profound learning techniques for spreading education in easy and effective manner.

Her specialization also covers transition from pre-primary to primary; and the challenges faced both by the student and parents.

Mrs. Shipra is expert in dealing with situations where parents blame school and school blames parents.

She says, “The early years are the most critical years of learning. The neutrons develop rapidly and connect to each other shaping the mind of an individual. First 6 years decide the next 80…”

Hailing from a family of educationists and administrators, she always has had the opportunity and knack for observing, analysing and improving things that catch her fancy.

Schooling at different places – Darjeeling, Mussoorie, Guwahati, Allahabad – gave her the exposure to travel and interact with a cross-section of people, and pretty good work positions at different educational institutions enriched her with some great inputs that she is raring to put into practice with full energy and vigour.
