I am Divyaa and I am a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator. I feel honored to be a member of the Positive Discipline Association. I am equally honored and blessed to be the mom of 2 wonderful, creative, little humans (ages 9.5 and 6), who inspire me to be a better person (in other words, "keep me on my toes"!! :-)). In fact, becoming a mom gave me the courage and reason to shift lanes from being a Computer Science Engineer to becoming a student of Psychology. To elaborate, after working in the corporate world for 10+ years, the curiosity of the science behind development of every milestone of my kid, led me to take time out, to pursue Child Psychology. I also specialized in Positive Psychology.

Working as a teacher for preschool age children, helped me see the practical side of Child Psychology. The interaction with the parents, gave me an unique perspective to the varied dynamics of the parent-child relationship. And how different kids behave differently depending on the adults and circumstances in their immediate environment. 

Personally also, I have always been intrigued by both the highs and lows of parenting. When I felt wowed by my child, I would feel proud and then also wonder, "what more does he need?". When I felt exasperated with my child, I wondered, "what am I doing wrong?". Both ways, I didn't feel connected with my kid.
