In today’s episode, we have Dr. Samir Dalwai, Director of New Horizons Child Development Centre and a leading developmental and behavioral pediatrician. With decades of expertise in child development, he has worked closely with parents and schools to guide healthier ways of raising children. In this conversation, he breaks down what effective parenting truly means in today’s world and how early experiences shape a child’s future.
We explore the importance of tone and balance in parenting, why hitting or strict discipline doesn’t work, and how children learn more from engagement and interaction than from easy comfort. Dr. Dalwai explains the difference between nurture and nature, why reading stimulates the brain far more than screen time, and how disappointment plays a role in building resilience. He also shares insights on autism, why its prevalence has risen so drastically, and how autistic children often have exceptional pattern recognition abilities.
In the last segment, we dive into the challenges of today’s tech-driven and socially isolated world, the dangers of excessive screen time, and why community and human interaction are more important than ever for children. Dr. Dalwai also answers questions around inclusivity in schools, whether autism can be prevented before birth, and what parents can do to raise children better equipped for the future.
