East Asian Peninsula. He used the historical time line to explain the changing nature of

relationship between North and South Korea. Mr. Sajjanhar brought out an interesting historical

fact of an Indian princess, Suryaratna of Ayodhya who was married to the king of Korea in ancient

times. His talk focussed on the isolation and impoverishment of North Korea due to its association

with China. He spoke on the nuclear timeline of DPRK and how North Korea was labelled as “an

axis of evil” along with Iran and Iraq by President G.W. Bush of USA.

It was only in 2018 that the relations thawed between North Korea and U.S with the Trump- Kim

summit held in Singapore. Reflecting on the summit Mr. Sajjanhar felt that it was only bones and

LECTURE BY DR. RIMA SEHGAL

Cambridge School, Noida organised a workshop for the parents of senior students at the Roma

Deb Auditorium on 21st July, 2018. Dr. Rima Sehgal, a renowned Psychologist and Counsellor

began her session with a discussion on the adolescents of today through a case study of a 17

year old boy. She said that adolescence brings with it physical, hormonal, cognitive and

psychological changes which need to be understood by all adults. Dr. Sehgal discussed parental

challenges while dealing with discipline issues, emotional problems, peer, family and media

influences. She also stated that low self-esteem leads to protective behaviours which we may call

as difficult behaviour. The behaviour actually signifies a cry for relief. She advised the parents to

appreciate appropriate behaviour, understand their ward’s need for space, privacy-freedom,

provide honest and accurate information about sex, safety issues, protection, etc.; know their

friends and keep track of their activities, set boundaries and make rules that are appropriate. She

urged the parents to keep open lines of communication which may help reduce major conflicts.

conduct risks. The lecture ended with an interactive session and the parents went back happy and

satisfied as their concerns had been addressed.
