At BodhiShishu, we believe every child is born with extraordinary potential. Research shows that emotional intelligence, communication skills, and focus are stronger predictors of lifelong success than IQ alone. Yet traditional education systems often neglect these essential life skills, leaving children unprepared for real-world challenges.
The inspiration for BodhiShishu came from our founder- Darshan's 16-year career as a Learning and Development Consultant working with Fortune 500 companies, NGOs, and startups. Through this experience, we identified a critical gap: while schools teach academic subjects, they rarely address confidence building, emotional regulation, or public speaking skills - the very abilities that determine professional and personal success.
Our journey began in 2019 when we recognised how technology overuse and instant gratification were creating new developmental challenges for children. Studies indicate that excessive screen time reduces attention spans by 40% and emotional awareness by 35%. BodhiShishu was created to counter these effects, with guidance from Stanford University and IIM Bangalore's NSRCEL, two of the world's leading institutions in education and child development.
What makes our approach unique is how we combine ancient techniques with modern neuroscience to help children aged 4-18 develop:
• Emotional intelligence to manage anger, frustration, and anxiety
• Public speaking confidence to express ideas clearly
• Focus and concentration skills for academic success
• Leadership qualities that schools don't teach
More than 5000 families across the globe have reported remarkable transformations after enrolling in our programs. Children who once struggled with shyness and stage fear now speak confidently in school assemblies. Students who couldn't sit through homework develop improved attention spans through our research-backed techniques. Most importantly, kids learn to recognise and regulate their emotions - a skill that benefits them throughout life.
We have now expanded our offering through our physical center in Mysore. But if you're not, our courses continue to be available through our hybrid learning model, combining self-paced online modules with personalised 1:1 coaching. The BodhiShishu method proves that just 5-10 minutes of daily practice can yield measurable improvements in a child's emotional well-being, academic performance, and social confidence.
In a world where anxiety and attention disorders among children have increased by 60% in the last decade, BodhiShishu provides science-backed solutions. We're not just another activity class - we're building the foundation for lifelong resilience, leadership, and emotional balance.
Join hundreds of parents who are giving their children the unfair advantage of emotional intelligence, focus and concentration, and confidence. Together, we can raise a generation that's prepared not just for exams, but for life.
