Parenting with Awareness, Reflection & Empathy
A KYTS Initiative for Conscious Parenting”
PARE
(Parenting with Awareness, Reflection & Empathy)
[A Conscious Parenting initiative of the Know Your True Self (KYTS) Research Academy, conceptualised and developed by its Founder, Mahesh Sharma]
About PARE
In today’s fast-changing world, parenting often becomes a list of rules and reactions.
PARE offers something gentler — an invitation to look inward.
It is not a formula for perfect parenting.
It is a practice of becoming more aware, reflective, and empathetic — so that our children grow in an atmosphere of emotional safety and trust.
Through guided reflections, conversations, and mindful exercises, PARE helps parents rediscover what truly matters: connection, calmness, and compassion.
“When we know ourselves better, we raise our children with more love and less fear.”
The Four Pillars of Conscious & Empathetic Parenting
Pilar 1 : 🟩 Presence
Be Here, Fully
Parenting isn’t about constant involvement; it’s about genuine attention.
When we show up with calmness, children feel safe.
“Before I speak, I choose to be.”
Pilar 3 : 🟦 Reflection
Learn Before You Lecture
Every interaction becomes a mirror.
Reflection turns conflict into connection and guilt into growth.
“In every challenge, there’s a reflection waiting for awareness.”
Pilar 2 : 🟧 Awareness
Know Yourself First
Every emotion we carry becomes part of our home’s atmosphere.
Awareness helps us notice our fears, beliefs, and triggers — and transform them into understanding.
“My awareness is my child’s atmosphere.”
Pilar 4 : 🩷 Empathy
Feel Before You Fix
Empathy doesn’t mean indulgence; it means understanding.
When we connect before we correct, children listen from love, not fear.
“When I listen with my heart, I parent with wisdom.”
Why We Need Conscious & Empathetic Parenting Today?
We live in an age where information is abundant, but awareness is rare.
PARE helps parents slow down, breathe, and see their children beyond behaviour.
It reminds us that:
Emotional regulation begins with the parent.
Children learn empathy by receiving it.
Connection grows when control softens.
“Parenting is no longer about perfection — it’s about presence.”
The Heart of PARE
PARE believes that better parenting starts with better humanity.
It’s about learning to pause, listen, and see.
Each parent who practices awareness becomes a ripple of emotional intelligence — creating a world where children grow with trust, not tension.
“We don’t raise children; we raise consciousness.”

From the Founder’s Desk
“PARE is not just another parenting framework — it is a space for gentle self-discovery.”
When I began shaping this initiative, I asked myself: What does it truly mean to be a parent in today’s fast, complex, and often overwhelming world?
PARE was born from that question.
To me, parenting is not about fixing our children — it is about understanding ourselves. It is about recognising that our presence, awareness, and emotional balance become the invisible roots that nourish our children’s growth.
Every parent, no matter how experienced, continues to learn, unlearn, and evolve. Through PARE, I wanted to create a space where we can do this together — without guilt, without perfection, and without pretending to have all the answers.
With this initiative, my intention is simple:
to help parents pause, reflect, and reconnect — not just with their children, but with their own humanity.
Because when we become more aware, empathetic, and reflective as individuals, we naturally become more loving and conscious as parents.
This initiative is not just a program under KYTS; it is a personal extension of what I deeply believe in — that every act of parenting is, at its heart, an act of self-awareness.
