Reflections on the Sai Parenting Class from parents, as published in the first issue of the SSE Magazine. This issue was released for Eswaramma Day in May 2016.
The class is helping me add a spiritual component to my parenting style. I have read every parenting book on the market but this has helped me the most. My husband has also enjoyed attending the classes from time to time. It has also helped me get closer to other members of the center.

I saw other parents (not Sai center) going through the same male female roles combination scenarios.
It did help to understand the value of trusting each others parent responsibilities and being there to complete the balance of energies around the family environment. This helps me to be a little calmer in stressful situations.

The class has been wonderful! It puts focus on balance for both parents and working together to be good parents.

By attending the SSE, I have gained a lot of knowledge on parenting. It has been a very good experience learning different opinions and views on raising children from other parents. I really enjoyed this class.

1.Getting tips from other parents on specific issues helped when I didn't know how to deal with it myself.
2.Finding out that the men have to also learn and practice the female roles so they understand what ladies face daily.

Sairam, I am so blessed to be in the parenting classes, it addresses everyday issues in upbringing children and helps parents in the right path. I consider these sessions as direct conversation with swami and always enjoy them.

Being a follower of Baba from childhood, I have had his influence at various stages of my life. After moving to the US, I was lost for a while with so many new things, moving to so many places and finally landing in Houston. Baba brought me into this Sai center and the Sai Parenting session at the perfect time in my life when I really needed it the most. I became a part of the curriculum writing team. I have learnt so much: from our beloved Baba, who is the ultimate teacher and from all the parents who attend the session who are also excellent teachers. I thank everyone for being there with me in my journey of becoming a better parent.

As a curriculum writer and class participant, the class has provided me with a completely different perspective on parenting. When writing curriculum, parenting was more theoretical in nature, but participating in the class has brought the theoretical into practical. It has changed, or more correctly, fine-tuned my parenting skills. I love the aha! moments I get when other parents share ideas that I can personally relate to or hear ideas that give me more ideas on what I can do as a parent.

As one of the curriculum writers it has been a wonderful experience working with the team to outline a plan for the class, and what "Loving/Spiritual Parenting is". Putting this in practice is a work in progress. As a class participant, its been a great experience getting a fresh perspective and insight on common issues confronting parents.
