The one thing we all strive to teach our kids is that they are wonderfully unique, and that they should not only accept themselves the way they are but joyfully celebrate it. And while they are doing that, they should also equally accept the fact that everyone else is unique too. Here are some of the many, many books we have read on this topic.
The pandemic has been hard on us all, but it has been the hardest on the
3-6 year old’s who would have just started going to playschool / formal school and the pandemic upset everything. The tantrums and the meltdowns were inevitable. Here are the books we read to deal with the big emotions, settle the meltdowns and get the etiquette in place.
A book named “The ABCs of Virtues”, would it be preachy? This was the thought that came to my mind before we read this book. I worried needlessly. Not only was the book not preachy at all, it is probably one of the most unique books I’ve ever come across. Not written in a story form, it introduces 26 key virtues every child (human) should know – one for each alphabet!
When the lockdown was announced last year, our older one was supposed to start LKg. Being in a nuclear family, with both of us working and a toddler to look after, we could hardly attend his online classes. Also, our son did not show much interest in online classes. So we decided to cover the syllabus at home.
That was the first time in these 20 months that me and Aanya were all alone (or you can say our “me time” with No rulezzzzz)
Very often we get a #kbcQuery on fun books that will encourage kids to brush their teeth. If you’ve been a toddler parent you know what a task that can be sometimes! But engaging books usually win.
