On September 18, Cankarjev dom hosted a lecture by the world's leading expert on parenting, Dr. Shefali Tsabary. The lecture "Support, not perfection", in which she presented the concept of conscious parenting, was moderated by Jelena Djoković, co-founder and international director of the Novak Djoković Foundation. This is the first visit of Dr. Tsabary in Slovenia and in Europe in general. She started her tour, which she carries out in collaboration with the Foundation, in Ljubljana, and this week she continues it in Zagreb and Belgrade.

As the first European stage, the Gallus Hall stage hosted an internationally renowned clinical psychologist, who presented Slovenian parents the concept of conscious parenting. At the center of this concept is not the child, but the parent who deals with his inner self. Parent-Centered Parenting, puts children first and not their own expectations, unfulfilled needs and projections that parents want their children to achieve. dr. Shefali was impressed by the attendance of the event, and even more by the high-quality questions that Slovenian parents asked her during the lecture.

"Considering the fact that I am in Slovenia for the first time, I must say that I am extremely surprised and at the same time grateful for such a response and interest from Slovenian parents. I am happy that I can spread knowledge and ultimately experience, both professional and personal, around the world and thus contribute my share to the fact that our children's generation will live a more sophisticated life, and above all, less burdened by the examples of their parents. The task of parents is to recognize these patterns and not pass them on to their children, because only in this way can they fully develop their potential and leave a unique mark in everything they do." she pointed out at the end of the event dr. Shefali.

dr. Tsabary is on tour of Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia submitted to the invitation Novak Djokovic Foundation. Jelena Djoković, co-founder and international director of the Foundation, met with the work of dr. Met Shefali by accident years ago when she came across her podcast. The way she described parenthood in it completely impressed her. Later, she was also educated at her institute, but now she has decided to bring hers closer to her parents in this part of Europe. “I believe it has happened to you before that you hear someone say something and it touches you so much that you think they said exactly what you carry deep inside. This happened to me with dr. Shefali. I was more than convinced by her knowledge and methods of how to recognize and profitably use the emotional and spiritual lessons that are part of the educational process in order to use them for our own development. In the spirit of the mission of our Foundation, which primarily strives to facilitate quality pre-school education, the insights of dr. Shefala added value to the knowledge we spread among parents and professionals," she explained Jelena Djokovic.
