Need for Nurture Trail

My work in the field of Developmental Medicine involves close interactions with infants and toddlers. Its a highly satisfying career and extremely challenging too. I find myself talking to parents, who sometimes are much older than I am, about the fine nuances of early parenting and child care. New parents are often bombarded with suggestions from everyone they meet. Most spring out of experiences and many are purely hearsay. But the parents, being an extremely cautious species, sway towards every tidbit of information and end up being absolutely confused. 

Apart from working hands on with the kids, a huge part of my work profile is to work on the parents minds. I need to make them understand how therapy would help their kids and why they need to be diligently following up with every little progress their little one makes. In the course of therapy parents (mainly, mothers) open up to discuss a lot of peripheral factors that they assume might be affecting their child and their parenting skills. The fears, the uncertainties, the doubts are sometimes so trivial that I use to empathise and wished there was some way to get the little details out there for parents and prospective parents in a friendly forum. And that is why I ventured into creating this portal of sorts, for early development, child care and parenting information, purely in the Indian context. I saw the need and thought I can extend my hand in providing the support and hence, NURTURE TRAIl came into existence. I would be your companion as you give nurturing your best attempt and leave trails, as and when needed.
