مجھے مت بدلو، مجھے صرف سمجھو
(Mujhe mut Badlo, Mujhe sirf Samjho)
On World Autism Awareness Day, let’s go beyond awareness and embrace acceptance. Every child sees the world in their own unique way, they don’t need to be “fixed,” just understood.

BEYOND THE BEHAVIOR SERIES- Ep. 05
The Child Who Needs to Control Everything
A child who always needs control isn’t just being ‘bossy’- they’re trying to feel safe in a world that feels unpredictable. Instead of power struggles, give them small choices, use collaborative language, and let them own little decisions.
This doesn’t just make life easier now, it helps them grow into confident, flexible adults who know how to navigate challenges without fear.

Episode 3- Adolescence
This particular episode is the most crucial for any professional working with Teenagers to observe because it captures raw complexities of adolescence.
In this Episode, the show takes a deep dive into Jamie’s psychological state through his assessment by clinical psychologist Briony Ariston. As a child psychologist, several themes stand out, particularly concerning parental awareness, early intervention, and behavioral cues that could have signaled distress before Jamie reached this point.

The Case of Jamie Miller: A Razor-Sharp Look at How We’re Failing Our Children
Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old boy, was arrested for the murder of his classmate—a tragedy fueled by online radicalization, loneliness, and the failure of adults to intervene.
1- He wasn’t born violent. He was a child looking for answers in the wrong places.
2- The internet became his mentor, feeding him toxic ideologies.
3- His struggles were invisible until it was too late.
Netflix’s Adolescence delivers razor-sharp writing that cuts deep, forcing us to confront hard truths about parenting, social media, and the dangers lurking online. It’s unsettling because it’s real. We are failing our children. This isn’t just entertainment, it’s a wake-up call.
How do we handle cases like Jamie’s? Juvenile justice should focus on rehabilitation, not just punishment.
- Early psychological intervention
- Digital literacy & online safety education
- Community awareness & mentorship programs
I’ve written a detailed case study on what Jamie went through and how cases like his should be handled. It’s posted on my LinkedIn, and the link is shared in the ‘Resources’ Highlight.
This isn’t just a story, it’s a warning. We not only need to discuss this, but we must take this warning as a call to action to protect our children before it’s too late.

The Child Who Lies 🤥
When a child lies, it’s not always about deception, it’s often about fear. Fear of disappointment, fear of punishment, fear of not being good enough.
Instead of reacting with anger, create a space where honesty feels safe. Because when children trust they won’t be shamed for the truth, they won’t feel the need to hide it.

WHEN KIDS PLAY, THEY GROW
We’ve been taught to believe that learning only happens when children are sitting still, following instructions, or holding a pencil.
But the truth is- some of the most powerful learning happens when children are at play.
When they build, they’re solving problems.
When they pretend, they’re exploring emotions and social skills.
When they run, they’re developing coordination, patience, and teamwork.

BREAKING GENERATIONAL CYCLES
We are NOT raising our kids the way we were raised, and that’s okay.
Growing up, many of us were taught that respect meant silence, that obedience was more important than understanding, and that emotions were something to ‘get over.’ But now, as parents, we have a choice: Do we repeat the same patterns, or do we break the cycle?
Breaking generational cycles isn’t easy, but it starts with awareness.
✔ We question: Was the way we were raised truly the best way?
✔ We unlearn: We let go of the belief that fear equals respect.
✔ We relearn: We adopt healthier ways to guide, discipline, and connect with our children.

What your CHILD can do?
Parents often focus on what their child can’t do, but have you ever paused to recognize their strengths?
A delayed diagnosis means a lost childhood. Acceptance isn’t about labeling, t’s about giving them the support they deserve.
Change your perspective, and you’ll see a world of possibilities for your child.

Teenagers don’t just wake up one day and settle for less. It happens slowly, through years of not feeling seen, heard, or valued at home.
By the time they’re teens, they’ve already learned that love has to be earned. That their worth is conditional. That silence is normal. And that’s how they end up in relationships where they feel the same, unheard, unseen, and unappreciated.
When they know love at home, they won’t have to search for it in the wrong places.
