Behavioral Intervention Guild (BIG)


BEHAVIOURAL  INTERVENTION  GUILD

When the gates of a School are closed, gates of a Prison are opened”



               Schools are wonderful gardens where the students bloom as beautiful flowers and the gardeners who nurture the wonderful garden are none other than the dedicated Teachers. The most important element in the school activity is how these children under 16 are handled to make ( them become) what they are tomorrow.
            Your children are the apple of your eyes, life line of your whole being, building blocks of the generation, promises of the nation, and they are the depository of future hopes and expectations of every parent.
            Such beautiful yet delicate treasures are to be handled with utmost care and concern. Needless to say, they must not be denied any opportunity to be disciplined, corrected, modified, pruned and watered while attempting to express your love and affection keeping in mind childhood being the most fascinating period in their life.
            Go over the schools, any place of education, the city, the village, the streets or any place, we will find a bunch of lost children with broken childhood. Alarmingly the percentage of such children under 16 has been in steep increase up to 31 percentage. It is unfortunate that the most fabulous childhood is spent in the wretched and wild fantasies of the time.
        These children who live in a world of negligence and rejection longing for enlightened mentoring approval and disapproval, acceptance and admonishment, are unattended to, not disciplined and are neglected.
           If this behavioural deviation is not addressed the right way in the right time, these children would surely develop a stigma and become easy prey to a wild and wicked traps; a trap of investing their childhood in a bad or unwarranted and wicked company ultimately becoming problematic, and headache for the parents, schools and society at large.
           Parents of such children fail not knowing what to do or where to approach for help, for so-called schools whether private, public, established or beginners do not have a standard system or practice in place to deal with the situation. Schools have an easy way out. They dismiss the child from the school for any gross misconduct. They save their face and believe that closing their doors for such children would increase their rankings and not jeopardize their reputation. Neither do today’s educators nor the management is willing or prepared to organize a ground that allows correctional growth. They willfully and conviniently forsake the most significant objective or focus of education which is modification of behaviour.
           Education is not only just transmitting knowledge or information but also it has a substantial role in behavior modification. The present teachers have made a role change from being a guide, counselor, comforter and path finder to an ordinary tutor of some subjects with only an academic relationship and no emotional link with their student community. This shift in teacher student relationship has failed the purpose of shaping or moulding a broken child. This is where we try to bridge the gap and connect them ( children) with the naturalness and beauty of their childhood; quality of their behavior and understanding of this world and knowledge of the subjects being taught.
           We believe that when the gates of school are closed, gates of a prison are opened. We are of the conviction that saving the lost, restoring the broken childhood and reinstating him is a messianic mission and call. We are more concerned about the one who is derailed and in troubled or difficult circumstances than the one in the main stream. This concern (has) made us constitute a consultative body called “Behavioural Intervention Guild” that addresses the issues of behavioral deviation of our children. There is a system and Behavioural Intervention plan in place to sense any behavioral deviations at the right time and come up with help to the school and parents directing their children. The Guild which is a strictly professional body consists of a Psychiatrist, Psychologist, two senior teachers and a counselor.
         Any child who has a behavioural deviation and disruptive behaviour or who is caught hold of some misconduct will not be terminated or dismissed from the school, but the sufferer is taken through adequate correctional steps with child centric behavioral intervention plan. The fragile child or his (its) childhood is handled with much care and genuine concern and we remain committed to grooming your child into a value driven leader. Nobody (else) does take as much care of your child as we do.
Calling for your help to help each other.
