The Team

Circle Facilitator
Anil
I am part of Insight Circle as a listener, facilitator, and fellow learner shaped by long-term psychosocial engagement and sustained reflection on children, families, and the relational worlds they grow within. Much of my work has involved accompanying children and families through transition, uncertainty, and conflict. Over time, this has shifted my attention from outcomes to process from finding answers to noticing how children experience change, distress, care, and continuity in everyday life.
What shapes my reflections
Children and their developmental worlds sit at the centre of my thinking. I am interested in how children make sense of relationships, boundaries, loss, protection, and belonging especially within families navigating emotional, social, or structural strain.
My reflections are also shaped by close engagement with gender, mental health, and questions of dignity and rights as they play out in daily life. Living and working in Kerala has required careful attention to ethical responsibility, relational sensitivity, and the long-term impact of adult decisions on children.
I remain attentive to how children’s inner worlds are shaped not only by immediate relationships, but also by wider social expectations, institutional practices, and cultural narratives. This layered lens helps me stay mindful of how small shifts at a personal or relational level can have effects that outlast the moment.
Alongside professional experience, parenting has been a continuous learning space a reminder that children grow through presence, trust, and attuned relationships, rather than control or certainty.
I am also increasingly curious about how contemporary shifts, including the rapid spread of technology and Artificial Intelligence, are shaping childhood, attention, learning, and relational life and how evolving systems intersect with children’s developmental needs and emotional safety.
How I engage within Insight Circle
Within Insight Circle, I see my role as helping to hold reflective spaces where conversations about children, families, and human experience can remain thoughtful, grounded, and humane. I value dialogue that allows professionals to pause, listen deeply, and reflect on their work without pressure to perform, prescribe, or simplify. I am especially drawn to conversations that bridge theory and lived experience, and that treat uncertainty as part of ethical practice.
What matters to me
Work with children demands humility, patience, and an ongoing willingness to learn. Growth happens best in circles where multiple perspectives are held, power is handled carefully, and children’s voices are not overshadowed by adult urgency.
Going forward, my interest lies in nurturing reflective spaces and practices that remain child-centred, context-sensitive, and ethically grounded across personal, relational, and wider social settings.
I remain committed to learning alongside others, with children’s and families’ wellbeing and dignity kept at the centre of reflection and practice.
