A Special Bengali Publication by Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Indian Culture & Therapy (S.R.I.I.C.T., Kolkata)
On the auspicious occasion of Rakhi Purnima, August 2026, the Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Indian Culture & Therapy (S.R.I.I.C.T., Kolkata) is pleased to announce the publication of “শিশু মন” (Shishu Mon), a special Bengali book dedicated to understanding the psychological well-being, challenges, and holistic development of children.
Authored by Dr. (Prof.) Nabanita Mukherjee, the book explores several important and increasingly relevant aspects of childhood and adolescent mental health. It seeks to create greater awareness among parents, educators, caregivers, and society about the emotional and psychological needs of children in today’s rapidly changing environment.
Understanding the Child’s Mind
Childhood is a formative period in which emotional experiences, family relationships, social surroundings, habits, and behavioural patterns can profoundly influence future development. “শিশু মন” brings together important discussions on child psychology and childhood disorders, while also addressing some of the challenges that children and families increasingly encounter today.
One of the significant areas covered in the book is childhood addiction, including excessive dependence on mobile phones and other digital devices. In an age of increasing screen exposure, understanding the psychological reasons behind unhealthy digital habits and recognizing their possible impact on a child’s behaviour, relationships, education, and emotional well-being has become especially important.
The Importance of Parenting, Counseling & Therapy
The book also highlights the vital role of parenting in a child’s psychological and emotional development. Positive communication, empathy, understanding, appropriate boundaries, and a supportive family environment can play a crucial role in helping children grow with confidence and resilience.
Alongside parenting, counseling and therapy are discussed as important avenues of support for children and families facing psychological, behavioural, emotional, or developmental difficulties. Early awareness and appropriate professional intervention can help address concerns before they become more complex.
Positive Psychology & Spirituality
A distinctive aspect of “শিশু মন” is its exploration of Positive Psychology and Spirituality as complementary dimensions of holistic child development.
Beyond addressing problems and disorders, the book encourages attention to the child’s strengths, emotional resources, values, inner development, and overall well-being. This perspective resonates with the broader vision of S.R.I.I.C.T., which seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the relationship between mind, body, and spirit.
A Contribution to Holistic Mental Health Awareness
Through this publication, S.R.I.I.C.T. continues its commitment to promoting mental health awareness and psychological well-being within the community. The book reflects the Institute’s broader approach of bringing together psychological care, counseling, psychotherapy, education, culture, spirituality, and holistic therapeutic practices.
“শিশু মন” can serve as a meaningful resource for parents, teachers, counselors, mental health professionals, students, caregivers, and anyone interested in understanding the inner world of children.
At a time when children are growing up amidst rapidly evolving technology, changing social environments, and increasing psychological pressures, developing a compassionate and informed understanding of the child’s mind is more important than ever.
