Write a short summary of what happens in the film

We open to see the heads of a mother and a daughter.

Whatever the mother does, the daughter follows.

A scratch on the head. A raised eyebrow. And a series of phrases.

“I can do this. I am capable. I am smart. I am confident.”

As the camera zooms in, we see that the mother is teaching her daughter the alphabet.

The mother has been speaking to herself as a teacher and her daughter has been repeating after her as a student. Finally as the daughter finishes, she shows off her finished work and says “I did it!”. We then see the mom filming and this time she repeats after her daughter. We end with the lines: “Your child imitates you. Imagine if they could imitate your confidence too. Begin their early education at home. Rocket Learning.”

Background

In a country where young children in rural areas have no access to high-quality education,

Rocket Learning India believes that all parents can be early educators at home.

The only problem?

These parents don’t believe in themselves.

Many of them are insecure because they do not have an extensive educational background. Rocket Learning aims to change this mindset through an inspiring film that shows how confidently taking control of their children’s education can bring a positive effect on their children’s future.

Strategy and Insight

What kids see, they do.

Young children learn at an early age by imitating their parents. A behavior called “Modelling” by renowned psychologist Albert Bandura. By copying how their mother and father speak, act, and interact, a young child’s parents instinctively become their very first teacher.

To inspire parents to become confident teachers with Rocket Learning, we created a film that shows the positive impact of how having a confident attitude while teaching is imitated by their child while learning.

Empowered by the simple games and activities from Rocket Learning, any parent can become a confident teacher that inspires their child to become a confident learner.
