About the workshops
Let’s Flourish Together is a series of 3-hour workshops designed for educators and parents. The program is based on Dr. Raj Pahil’s research, which identifies key conditions and dimensions that promote children’s development. The Grassroots Model of Flourishing serves as the foundation for both children and adults, helping them flourish together.

Each workshop focuses on a key dimension of well-being and introduces the Helping Hand framework, which highlights essential conditions for a child’s harmonious growth.
MODULE No 1 / March 9, 2025
Growing child’s character
Every child has a natural need to develop and grow their true character. Character development empowers and liberates children, providing them with the tools to navigate life. Character needs to be explicitly taught. Direct instruction in character offers children the language and skills necessary for growth both in and out of school. Character is educable through schools, parents, and communities. Virtues and character traits can be cultivated by building new vocabulary, promoting literacy, and providing opportunities for children to practice and strengthen their character.
MODULE No 2 / April, 2025
Regulation of emotions
Emotional regulation happens both internally and externally. Internal strategies are those like deep breathing and mindfulness that take place inside children. External strategies involve doing something different or changing the situation. For example when a child can choose what they do during their day; their capacity to develop emotional regulation is increased.
MODULE No 3 / May, 2025
Autonomy
When we speak about autonomy what do we actually mean? When children have a choice about what they do and can stop when they want to, they feel better about themselves and their world. The more autonomy children have the better the quality of their motivation. An autonomous child has age appropriate governance over their own lives. Children generally have no meaningful choices about what they do all day and this stops children from being self-sufficient and confident.
MODULE No 4 / June, 2025
Strengths engagement
When we talk about strengths engagement we tend to think about having children competent in what they are doing. It is much more than this. It is about helping children really see their authentic strengths. When is your child at their ease and doing something which comes natural to them? This is where the children’s internal motivation will be much higher than their external motivation and rapid growth will take place.
MODULE No 5 / September, 2025
Sense of belonging and connectedness
Children cannot learn in isolation. They need to feel a high sense of belonging and connectedness. Having close relationships within a community are essential for children to grow fully and feel connected. It is vital to allow children to connect to nature and outside their immediate family and cultural background. The goal is to open up a new world and create new possibilities and opportunities for children to grow and flourish.
