Build Confidence & Emotional Strength in Your Child | BodhiShishu

Every parent dreams of raising a child who is not just academically successful but also emotionally resilient, socially adept, and confident in facing life’s challenges. In today’s competitive world, where children grapple with stress, peer pressure, distractions, and self-doubt, traditional education often falls short in teaching them how to manage emotions, communicate effectively, and stay focused. This is where BodhiShishu steps in—a pioneer in holistic child development programs designed to equip children (ages 4–18) with essential life skills that schools rarely teach.

Founded in 2019 and incubated at Stanford University and IIM Bangalore’s NSRCEL, BodhiShishu combines cutting-edge psychology, neuroscience, and experiential learning to help children build unshakable confidence, master public speaking, regulate emotions, and sharpen focus. Our unique learning model ensures personalised attention while offering flexibility for busy families. 

If you are located in Mysore, we'd love to see you and your child at our Gokulam Center. For those who are not located in Mysore, don't worry- we've got you covered! Join our hybrid courses where you get lifetime access to the videos, along with live 1:1 coaching. Either ways, your child will gain practical tools to thrive in every sphere of life.

The BodhiShishu Difference: Why We Stand Out

Unlike generic extracurricular activities, our structured, age-specific programs target core areas of development that impact a child’s success and happiness:

Confidence & Public Speaking

Many children struggle with shyness, fear of judgment, or low self-esteem, which holds them back in school and social settings. Our Public Speaking Classes include 40+ techniques to help kids articulate ideas clearly, project confidence, and overcome stage fright. Parents report visible improvements—from participating actively in class to winning elocution contests.

Focus & Concentration

With shrinking attention spans due to digital distractions, children often find it hard to study effectively, follow instructions, or complete tasks. Our unique program for parents introduces brainwaves behaviour to comprehend the functioning of the mind. Our research-backed techniques are based in sound, visuals, and a combination of the two to boost concentration, reduce exam anxiety, and improve academic performance.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) & Stress Management

Children today face unprecedented stress—whether from exams, social media, or peer pressure. Our Emotional Intelligence courses teach them to identify emotions, cope with anger/frustration, and develop empathy. Through activity based techniques that work on their sub-conscious levels, kids learn to navigate conflicts, build resilience, and make wiser decisions.

Our Courses

Explained through animations, stories, worksheets, guided imageries and music, our courses would help kids manage negative emotions like anger, stress, anxiety, fear, jealousy, insecurity and at the same time develop positive emotions like empathy, love, compassion, gratitude and kindness. Help your kids lead a happy, joyous and fulfilled life! Start early!

Based on the play-and-learn methodology, all our courses consist of fun and effective techniques to give the kids a multi-sensory, immersive experience, making the techniques enjoyable for them. All our techniques are secular.
