When on the topic of Parents Day, why leave behind the pet and plant parents? Move over traditional definitions of parenting, BYJUites are here to celebrate parenting of all kinds. The definition of parenting is now blurring. While for some, it may be about taking their child to school, for others its about playing with their furry friends, or simply watering their plants. Parenthood sure does come in different shapes and sizes and we are here to celebrate that.

KIDS BEFORE KIDS
When we hear the term parents, we usually think of conventional parenthood. But recent times, especially the lockdown, have inspired many to become new plant and pet parents.
Parents Day celebration at BYJUS started with a workshop for pet and plant parents. The workshop offered an introduction to Telepathic Animal and Nature Communication. BYJUites got to learn more about communicating with their pets and plants. Anju Jayaraj, expert from The Whispering Earth gave attendees tips on how to bridge the gap of communication and understand their animal and plant companions better.
Whats more? BYJUites also brought their pets to a Zoom party which stole the show. From the cutest doggos, to furry cats, beautiful birds and rabbits, pets of all shapes and sizes entertained us virtually. It was indeed a treat to the eyes!
