Who We Are: Helping Children Build Emotional Intelligence

BodhiShishu is a child development company, founded in 2019 by Ms Darshan Bawa. It helps children aged 4 to 12 build emotional intelligence, focus and confidence through structured programmes. Many children learn to read, write and count, but few are taught how to handle frustration, pay attention or speak up when it matters, and BodhiShishu was built to fill that gap.

BodhiShishu also trains the adults who guide children. Its Teacher Training Certification Programme in Child Development is for anyone who wants to teach children, whether as a profession or as an extension of their existing work. Those who complete it are certified by BodhiShishu to deliver its programmes to their own students and are given the title Child Development Facilitator. For schools, BodhiShishu offers year-long curriculum design that builds emotional intelligence, focus and confidence across the school year.

Every programme is guided by the BodhiShishu Method™, which is organised around the Tree of Growth™ and seven principles. These principles include the belief that every child grows at their own pace, and that facilitators guide rather than fix.

Our Offerings: Programmes for Children, Teacher Training Certification and School Curriculum

BodhiShishu offers three ways to build emotional intelligence, focus and confidence in children aged 4 to 12. Structured programmes reach children directly, teacher training certification prepares anyone who will teach them, and year-long curriculum design brings the same skills into schools.

Structured Programmes for Children Aged 4 to 12

Structured programmes for children aged 4 to 12 build emotional intelligence, focus and confidence across three domains: Emotional Intelligence, Focus and Concentration, and Confidence and Communication (Public Speaking). Each programme is organised by age group, so the activities match where the child is developmentally.

Teacher Training Certification Programme in Child Development

This 45-day programme with one-to-one mentorship is for anyone who wants to teach children, whether as a profession or as an extension of their existing work. Graduates receive nine ready-to-deliver structured programmes, a Facilitator Manual, Workbook and Toolkit, and are certified as a  Child Development Facilitator.

Year-Long Curriculum Design for Schools


BodhiShishu designs a year-long curriculum for schools across Emotional Intelligence, Focus and Concentration, and Confidence and Communication, shaped around each school’s students and staff. Our emotional intelligence curriculum for a school in Lithuania, for ages 4 to 6, is now being implemented.
