Dr. Sweta Adatia explains the ABCD tenets of neuro-parenting in simple, brain-science-based terms (as she teaches in her workshops and neuroscience parenting sessions):
THE COURSE IS AVAILABLE IN HINDI.
-
Awareness: Dr. Adatia emphasizes that good parenting starts with understanding how your own brain works and how your reactions influence your child’s developing mind. Parents learn to recognize their emotional triggers so they can respond calmly rather than react impulsively.
-
Brain-Based: She teaches that parenting should be guided by neuroscience, meaning parents use knowledge about brain growth and development to shape expectations and communication with their children—not rigid control.
-
Connection Over Correction: Dr. Adatia highlights that building emotional connection and trust with a child strengthens the brain’s emotional and social circuitry far better than punishment or correction alone.
-
Decode My Brain: Through her DecodeMyBrain® framework (used in parenting and family programs), she encourages parents to see behavior as communication from the child’s brain, helping them interpret needs and support growth rather than simply disciplining.
In her view, neuro-parenting is about creating win-win relationships, understanding the science behind behavior, and using that insight to support children’s emotional and cognitive growth.
