The Effect of 360 Life Training Skills - feedback from India

 [this blog has been written by Janaki, a friend from India who is director of a school where I delivered 360Life training last year. It is humbling to read what follows. The child's name is changed but permission has been granted to share his photo]

In October 2025, 360Life ( Identity • Healing • Wellbeing )Training was done by Sis Helen Harrison in our school. After that, God spoke to me to give quality time to the school children also and to mentor them for their bright future. 

Sis. Helen taught us that every behaviour has a reason behind it. She taught us the 360 Life Skills - how to observe the child completely, how to understand the pain behind the anger, how to listen without judging, and how to respond with love and patience.

Before the training our teachers and I used to counsel and care for children with different attitudes in our school. We never ignored any child. We always tried our best to council them with love.
But after the 360 Life Training everything changed. The training made us more active and more accurate.

Before training we cared. After training we understood HOW to care effectively.

This change is not just seen by the teachers in our school, but I have personally experienced it as well. I have seen some truly amazing transformations with my own eyes, and I would love to share a few of those precious stories and change

 

*The Story of Vikram - When Comparison Becomes a Wound*

Vikram is just 10 years old, studying in 5th class.
At home, his parents complained about him every day. They would say very harshly, "He behaves very rudely at home. We cannot bear him anymore."

But the same Vikram was a different boy in school. He was a smart, well-behaved, he studied well, he got good marks, and he was a favourite of all his teachers. The teachers could not understand - how can a boy who is so good in school be so rude at home?

But behind the walls of his house, there was another painful truth that no one knew. Every day, his parents used to beat him very severely at home. I will not describe here, but it was very bad beatings.

Once, when teachers tried to talk to his mother about this, she turned against the teachers and shouted at them loudly in reverse. Because of that, the teachers became afraid to talk to his parents again.

All these matters came to me, the school director, through the teachers. When I called that little boy and looked at him, I felt so much pain in my heart. I asked him lovingly, "What happened Vikram?"

He did not speak anything at first. He was completely silent. But I did not give up. With the patience and skills I learned from the 360 Life Training by Sis. Helen Harrison, I continued to talk to him slowly, day after day, without forcing him. This all happened in the first week of November 2025.

One day, while we were talking, suddenly Vikram held me tightly and started crying loudly. That was the first time he opened his heart. Slowly, through tears, he started telling his story.

"They always compare me with all other children," he cried. "They say, 'Look how they are and how you are.' They keep insulting me, saying I am good for nothing. They beat me saying I am not like others."
That was his real problem.

 Actually, Vikram was a good student. He was getting good marks. His behaviour in school was very good. But his parents were never happy with that. They always praised other children in front of him and insulted him saying, "Giving you food itself is a waste." And if he cried when they insulted him like that, they would beat him even more. So sad. So painful for a 10-year-old heart.

I hugged him and told him, "I will talk to your parents. Don't cry Vikram." I counseled him with 360 Life Skills - with love, with affirmation, telling him that he is unique, he is precious, and God has made him wonderfully. Slowly, he became strong. His confidence came back.

At that same time, we had a School Parents Meeting. Nearly 500 parents came to that meeting. Vikram’s parents also came. In that meeting, I was speaking about the 360 Life Training. I was sharing that "Children are God's gift. They are very precious. We should never compare one child with another child. God has created every child as unique and special."

While I was speaking those words, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, Vikram’s mother, who was sitting in the crowd, was filled with tears. Her eyes were full of water. She started crying loudly in front of all 500 parents.
With a broken heart, she openly said in front of everyone, "Until today, I have done wrong. I have done a big mistake." She was deeply moved and repented. Those words changed her completely.
That day became a turning point for that family.

It has been nearly one year now. Vikram’s parents are both very happy now. There are no more problems between them. That painful chapter is completely closed.

Now Vikram is studying in 6th class with a big smile, with confidence, and with peace in his heart.

This is the power of 360 Life Training. It not only changes children, it changes parents, it changes families.
