Dr. Preeti Jajodia is a Child Development and Parenting expert. She primarily works with parents, teachers and other caregivers, hand holding them through the process of creating an appropriate atmosphere for age-adequate learning and development. A large part of her work consists of training parents of children with neuro diversities in language development, cognitive development and socio-emotional development. She also assists parents in learning to manage their children’s behaviours and emotions.

With 8+ years of experience, she specialises in best practices in parenting, helping caregivers learn suitable methods and techniques for nurturing a healthy caregiver-child relationship. Her work with the caregiving environment is informed by the connection and attachment-based parenting approach where the focus is on developing connection and using that to help children navigate life. She also conducts medium-scale workshops with parent groups and schools on relevant topics.

Additionally, she works with adolescents and young adults in helping them manage stress and anxiety, stammering and other everyday mental health concerns that may arise.
