She delves into the legacies of late parenting experts, and why their unconventional methods of teaching are best suited to the 21st-century world.

Her most recent works include two books on Coding for Children and books on educators like Gijubhai, Froebel, and Vygotsky.

Respected Swati ma'am, I am always excited to listen to you and thanks to Ted Talks for giving us that opportunity again. The main takeaway from the Ted talk for me that- How stories make an impact on children's brains, not only for a particular period but also have a lifelong impact. We can make each subject more interesting by using stories because every subject has stories. Ma'am also mentions that every part of the brain lights up through listening to stories. I also learned about the importance of story-based learning at all levels of schooling for all subjects. Stories release such amazing hormones from our body like oxytocin and serotonin. Thank you so much ma'am! Proud to be a part of Podar Family. Sujata Mane from Podar Prep Ambejogai.
