What some of the parents are saying..
An extremely hands on and seamless way to build powerful habits for children..my 10 year old daughter started to look forward to daily tasks right after Day 2. It’s amazing to see her practice her daily gratitude based on lessons she learnt during the program. Thank You Upasna.

Our Method
Simply teaching them what to do without telling them how in a way which is doable for them won’t help. Therefore at Live Your Bachpan the child’s learning journey is based on these three core principles:
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit”
Live your Bachpan is all about Action Taking and Implementation.
Children need structure and a framework that puts them into auto pilot mode when it comes to taking action and implementing social and emotional skills.
We do this using our proven 6 step approach:
STEP 1
Concept Introduction
STEP 2
Self Discovery
STEP 3
Defining the path: Goals
STEP 4
Laying down the journey: Action Plan
STEP 5
Creating Accountability (Weekly checkins)
STEP 6
Reinforce, Repeat, Remind (Community calls)
Our Programs
Kids understand the language of heart to nurture, develop and grow.
With this belief, everything curated at Live your Bachpan comes straight from the heart, edited with love, as kids know no other language. Live Your Bachpan programs act as the fertilizer these growing plants need.

Want to know more about our programs?
Thrivers are made, not born. Children need safe, loving and caring childhoods, but they also need autonomy, competence and a structured framework to flourish.
WE KNOW
WE UNDERSTAND..
We know that you know it all. But.. Do you have the time? Do you have the necessary skills? Do you have the tools.. to implement these important social and emotional learning skills for your child?
- What you need as a parent? FREEDOM FROM WORRYING.
Freedom from:
Constantly worrying about:
- What choices your child is making ?
- How to enhance your child’s focus and concentration so he/she excels in academics/ sports/ other activities ?
- How do you prepare your child for not just surviving but exceling in this ever changing VUCA world ?
- AM I DOING ENOUGH ?
- How to inculcate good habits, positive behaviours ?
Frustration, when you are not getting results despite putting your best effort.
Guilt of not spending enough quality time and not able to teach important life lessons that would pave the path to his/her success.
We will make it super easy for you and super fun for your kids. At Live Your Bachpan we have curated programs that will help your child build social and emotional learning skills in a language catered purely to them. While the content is designed for kids you as a parent can also benefit from going through it WITH THEM. And that is what makes us different.
WE CREATE A WIN-WIN SITUATION FOR BOTH THE CHILD AND THE PARENT 
This way both you and your child are on the same page, learning the same things and enhancing the environment of the house.
Meet Our Founder
Upasna Punj
Hi, I am Upasna Punj, a Social and Emotional (SEL) coach for children aged 8-11 years. I am on a mission to help 100,000 children across the globe live a beautiful and memorable childhood by teaching them social and emotional learning skills that can make them more resilient, respectful, focused and they grow up into adults WHO CARE!! I do this through a systematic framework that is built around ACTION TAKING and rigorous implementation.
As I treaded/ through my own life experiences (personal or professional) and observed those of others around me, it was fairly evident that success and happiness in life was not just an outcome of academic excellence, but it is the result of important social and emotional or call it ‘life’ skills, that actually form one’s mindset foundation of which gets laid down during childhood. Our choices, goals, habits, openness to change, discipline, focus, areas of interest, ambitions, learner mindset vs. fixed mindset..it all can be attributed to the environment and experiences we had during our childhood.
Just like academics these skills need to be taught and practiced right from an early age.
Seeds sown early on during childhood grow and bear fruits as adults who are respectful, resilient, responsible global citizens.
I strongly believe that if we really want the world to thrive tomorrow, we need to focus on our children today!
Setting boundaries for children is fine, but empowering them to make their own choices by teaching them how is POWERFUL.
Telling them to set and achieve goals is fine, but teaching them a success recipe where they can achieve whatever they desire on a consistent basis makes them UNSTOPPABLE.
With this belief I founded Live Your Bachpan where we teach children aged 8-11 years, powerful social and emotional learning skills through a rigorous implementation framework focused on ‘Action Taking’ that embeds these skills into your child’s mindset. The tools I have created or compiled through extensive research are scientifically backed and approved by experts with years of experience in child counseling and of course tried and tested on my own child ☺

What is Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and why should you care?
Research indicates that the traits that can be most highly correlated to optimizing our children’s thriving abilities include mental toughness, resilience, social competence, self awareness and moral strength as core skills that separate successful kids who shine from those who struggle.
Social and emotional learning is so important that it has its own day dedicated to it – March 26 every year! The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) a leader in SEL instruction defines the following key skills for Social and Emotional Learning:
Self Awareness
Understanding, acknowledging and managing emotions; determining strengths, understanding the link between choices, thoughts and results
Self Management
Learning to be more present, power of self regulation, focus building, importance of discipline and effective habit building, building consistency, dealing with failures
Responsible Decision Making
Understanding the power of making choices, setting and achieving goals, power of action taking.
Social Awareness
Building healthy relationships through respect, empathy, kindness
Relationship Skills
Communication, co-operation, listening, managing conflict and understanding emotions of self and others
Now none of these skills are new or something you may not be aware about. But honestly tell me, how many of us really consistently embed this into our children ?
Where is the gap?
Time and knowledge constraints
Preaching the what and not teaching the HOW
Not a PRIORITY amidst other tasks
Thinking it is only school’s responsibility
Do not just dream for your children to be successful, mindful, resilient, respectful, and so on. Be an action taker.
Do not let your personal limitations and time constraints come in the way of a thriving and flourishing childhood of your child.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHILD ESPECIALLY IN THE AGE GROUP OF 8 – 11 YEARS (#TWEENS)?
BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE AT THIS AGE:
- They are beginning to explore their independence and make their own choices
- Their minds are latching on to everything like a magnet
- They are forming their own judgements, assumptions and connections in their tiny little minds
- They are at the cusp of teenage
- Peer Pressure, Emotional Turbulence, Distractions, feeling not good enough – it’s all building up
- Digital overflow and overload of information
These tiny minds are not yet fully developed to reason things out, filter what is right or wrong, think rationally or make right choices basis that.
They can either be attracted to addictions wrong choices or set on a path of progression or happiness
Dealing with it when you will be in that situation will not help
Start now. If you build social and emotional skills in the child in the age of 8-11 they will be better equipped all these teenage challenges and you would be happier as a parent!!
YOU cannot fool proof YOUR CHILD’S LIFE. They are bound to fall. They are bound to fail. They will have EMOTIONAL UPS AND DOWNS. BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO AS A PARENT IS GIVE THEM A FRAMEWORK TO DEAL WITH THAT.

Are you willing to leave your child vulnerable or are you willing to take action?
This isn’t for you if…
- You do not align with our core values.
- You are not willing to take ownership of your child by investing time, participating in their learning journey
- You believe and measure success only through the lens of academic excellence
- You are not an action taker
- You are not willing to make your child your top most priority
Children learn from Parents/ Guardians all the time. Or lets even say they COPY them. None of what we teach your children will stick if they don’t see these values being practiced and reinforced at home.
Join our community if you align with our Vision, Mission and Core Values
Who we are not?
- We are not a child counseling service or therapist.
- We are no pre school or day care.
- We are not a yoga/ meditation centre. At Live Your Bachpan building mindfulness is one of the core skills we build and embedding exercise routines is just one part of it. That is not the whole and soul of our mission.
- We are not going to replace the need for parental time, love and attention
- We are not yet another crash course on parenting. Our content is designed to be consumed by children with guidance from their parents/ caregivers.
