Petals!

Reading is considered 'boring' by many children.  Growing up around books is the best way to make your child feel comfortable and confident in the world of books. My biggest worry was that my son would feel the same way and I always ensured right from the time that he was two years old that I took him to the British Library. Here's one of Adi's earliest favorite books that he learned to read: Samira's Awful Lunch.  So, what's the next step? Connecting your child to game changers! Yes, that's probably the best thing you can do to take your child to the next level! Lets see how to do this step by step. Ready? Enrol your kid in a good reading club When I first enrolled my son Jyotiraditya for a Reading Club, I had no idea that he would enjoy it so much or that I would get useful 'expert' advice on how to take Adi's reading skills to the next level.  At the British Council, I had interacted with several teachers who conduct workshops fo...

Adi's play school, Roots2Wings had closed for Christmas vacations and finally reopened today. I didnt send him to school because of the severe Cold Wave in Delhi. Every one tells me that kids enjoy playing in this weather. However, waking up Adi when it is so freezing cold and then getting him ready is like a one and a half hour roller coaster ride for me, particularly as water is freezing cold and we have to boil lots of it before it can be warm enough to give him a proper bath and all that. Geysers don't work on generator back ups and till about 10 am, we don't have electricity.

It was his Ma'am. She called to ask if all's fine with Jyotiraditya and said that please send him because "we are missing him. He has such a beautiful smile and nice manners that it is...

This is the Clipo set which my son, Jyotiraditya loves to make designs with. He loves this set. He makes shapes and designs using this set.

When my three year old son, Jyotiraditya, came running to me and showed me this design, I thought some one must have helped him make it. It didnt seem possible that he did it on his own. Truth is that this is his first design that he made on his own. Now, he makes more and more designs. I feel so good to see him come up with new ideas, color schemes and shapes because it gives me insights into his imagination and his world. Cut off as I am from his world most of the time, these designs tell me about a brilliant mind that is unraveling its might in little ways. God bless.
