Sometimes, the most rewarding lessons are the ones we step out of our comfort zone to teach.
On 12th October, I had the opportunity to conduct a session on Anger Management and Mood for the students of Grades 7 and 8 at Lourdes Convent School, organised by the PTA members.
A new topic for me to facilitate, this session was as much a learning experience for me as I hoped it was for the students.
And then came my favourite part of the session!
In a world where smart board and screens have become part of everyday learning, I chose to go old school, with nothing but a board, chalk and conversations. No slides, no screens, just curious minds, honest questions, shared experiences and plenty of participation.
The students were wonderfully proactive, interactive and eager to share their thoughts. What made it even more special was seeing the PTA members join in, participate and enjoy the session alongside them. The questions kept coming, the discussions flowed, and we ended on a truly satisfying note.
It was a gentle reminder that sometimes, all a meaningful conversation needs is a little space, a listening ear and the willingness to engage.
As someone who has spent years teaching, counselling and mentoring young people, I have always believed that education goes beyond textbooks. Helping children understand their emotions, communicate better and respond thoughtfully is just as important as helping them prepare for their future.
My heartfelt gratitude to Allah for this opportunity to explore a new subject, challenge myself and discover that stepping outside our comfort zone can open doors we never expected. Alhamdulillah.
A special acknowledgement to Fatema, @fatemalokandwala20 and @rationallypsyched whose core concepts helped shape the foundation of this session.
Thank you to the PTA members of Lourdes Convent School for the opportunity and to the students for making my first session on this topic such a memorable one.
