Parenting, in the 21st century, can be tricky business — as parents, you want your children to receive a good, holistic education that prepares them to succeed in an increasingly competitive world, to be well-adjusted in their social and professional spheres, and to grow into well-rounded adults with a nuanced and empathetic worldview. Above all, you want them to be happy. According to Matthew Raggett, the current headmaster of the renowned Doon School, many parents find themselves struggling to keep up with these overwhelming demands.

"In India, especially, there is a lot of drive for children to succeed, much of which comes from parents rather than the children themselves. Many parents will worry themselves sick about getting their children to the right school and giving them every opportunity, not realising all the while that they, as parents, can shape their children's minds far more than any school can," he says.
