HUMAN ENGAGEMENT POWERS LEARNING
MD, DCH, DNB, FCPS, FIAP, LLB, Developmental Behavioural Pediatrician, Founder/Director: New Horizons Child Development Centre, India.
Our founder Dr. Samir Dalwai was interviewed by one of the renowned YouTube celebrities, Mr. Raj Shamani, where Dr. Samir spoke about what effective parenting truly means in today’s fast-changing world. Drawing from decades of experience as a developmental and behavioral pediatrician and Director of New Horizons Child Development Centre, he explained how early childhood experiences shape long-term emotional and cognitive outcomes. The conversation explored why fear-based discipline doesn’t work, the importance of tone, balance, reading, and human engagement, and how healthy disappointment builds resilience. Dr. Dalwai also shared clear insights on autism, inclusivity, screen-time risks, and why community and real human connection are critical for raising well-adjusted, future-ready children.

At New Horizons Child Development Centre, we believe that every child can do better and can keep achieving his/her age-appropriate development, if provided with the right support at the right time.
In children with neuro developmental and behavioural problems, this is imperative. Worldwide, many different interventions, therapies and medications are practised. They are usually directed towards managing’ the child, often keeping him busy with purposeless activities or repetitive speech.
