Nurturing Souls, founded by Nikhil Gupta, a Conscious Parenting Coach, has made strides in helping families navigate the complexities of career planning and future guidance.
With a focus on fostering healthy relationships between parents and children, Nurturing Souls has handled over 1,000 cases, positively impacting the lives of countless families across India primarily Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities.
Children face numerous challenges in choosing their careers, often exacerbated by well-meaning but parental interventions. These challenges can lead to behavioral changes and strained relationships, making the career decision process even more daunting. Recognizing these issues, Nurturing Souls offers an approach which goes beyond traditional career counseling.
Unlike conventional methods that focus solely on the child’s career options, Nurturing Souls emphasizes the importance of mutual understanding between parents and children.
Nikhil Gupta, said, “Our approach involves comprehensive assessments to help first parents realize how well they truly understand their own choices and then their children’s strengths and interests before they help their children choose various career options. We guide them through a journey of self-discovery and mutual understanding, ensuring that career choices are made with empathy and insight.”
One case study exemplifies the transformative power of this approach. A single mother, deeply protective of her adolescent son, struggled to identify her son’s academic interests and career choices and balance her son’s academic pursuits with his passion for music. Her overbearing involvement, though well-intentioned, created confusion and emotional strain for her son, also hindering his ability to make independent decisions.
Through a series of reflective discussions and assessments, Nurturing Souls helped the mother understand the impact of her expectations on her son’s well-being. By encouraging her to first know more about her conditionings leading to her inclination towards career choices and then understanding her son’s true nature and various interests including music and allowing him the autonomy to explore his genuine interests, the relationship between mother and son improved. The son, free from emotional pressure, developed a clear focus on his studies and pursued a research career in electronics and communication engineering, while also nurturing his musical talents.
The mother, said, “Nurturing Souls helped us see each other in a new light. I learned to step back and support my son in his journey, rather than dictating his path. This has brought us closer and allowed him to thrive both academically and personally.”
Nikhil Gupta’s message to parents is that every child possesses intelligence and potential and should be respected and nurtured. He emphasizes that children are distinct individuals, not extensions of their parents. By understanding their own conditioning and biases, parents can better support their children’s personal and career growth.
“The journey of guiding your child is not about imposing your views but about exploring and understanding what truly works for them. When parents and children embark on this journey together, the results are truly beautiful,” Gupta added.
