IMPACT takes great pride in sharing that our Director, Ms. Maliha Latif Asad, was recently welcomed as a distinguished guest on Irfan Asghar's podcast. This session brought forth an engaging and insightful dialogue centered around the challenges that modern parents and families navigate on a daily basis.

The session covered a range of critical topics that many parents quietly struggle with every day:

Anxiety & Stress in Children Ms. Maliha Latif Asad shed light on how anxiety and stress manifest differently in children compared to adults — and why parents often miss the early signs. She emphasized that a child's emotional world is deeply influenced by the environment around them, and that timely support can make all the difference.

Behavioral Issues — Understanding the Root Cause Rather than labeling children as "difficult" or "disobedient," Ms. Maliha Latif Asad guided parents toward understanding why behavioral challenges occur. Behavior, she explained, is always communication — and it is our job as adults to listen more carefully.

IQ vs. EQ — What Really Matters? One of the most thought-provoking parts of the conversation was the distinction between IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and EQ (Emotional Quotient). While academic success often gets all the attention, emotional intelligence — a child's ability to understand, manage, and express emotions — plays an equally, if not more, important role in their long-term well-being and relationships.

Why This Conversation Matters

At IMPACT, we have always believed that awareness is the first step toward change. Parents who understand their child's emotional and psychological needs are better equipped to support them — not just at home, but throughout every stage of life.

Ms. Maliha Latif Asad's appearance on this platform was a step toward bringing that awareness to a wider audience, reaching families who may not yet know where to turn for guidance.
