My first steps to get Timmu interested in reading

-
Timmu is four years now and till now have been thinking to let him take things easy and let him indulge in free play. But somehow feel that now is the time to introduce him to more serious reading.. my experiments with making him read have not been quite much successful.. can't nail a particular reason but I guess its combination of
- My own laziness to set up a routine for him
- He finding it more interesting to tear books than read it
- he is still not comfortable recognizing words 

Now what ever is the reason I want to now give it a serious thought so my first steps I took today are:

1- Ordered some kids books online
- Junior Kumbhkaran - This is written by my ex-colleague( Arundhati Venkatesh) who turned author with this :) I feel excited to read out a story written by a person I know closely

and below ones going by recommendations on blog of another friend Simran ( need to acknowledge to her)

- Goodnight Moon - Author: Clement Hurd, Margaret Wise Brown
- The Very Hungry Caterpilla - By Eric Carl

2- Found out a library near by

Came across this library nearby for kids where you can borrow books on monthly membership..seems like a great idea


These are good steps to begin with and all depends again on constant effort and my commitment.


Wishing myself lots of luck!!

Hey There!! Before I start getting into details of the admission process I would like to share the reason why I am writing this post. While researching about the schools for my boy I reached out to friends who have kids in schools, read through blogs and posts, requested feedback on FB forums where people have shared their personal experiences and I really thank them all in helping me out with information. So I feel obliged to do the same and share mine. I had not gone through process for many schools since we finalized quite soon so below are schools I would be talking about 1. Lotus Valley International School- Nirvana County, Gurgaon 2. Scottish High International School - Sushant Lok, Gurgaon 3. Suncity World School - Suncity, Gurgaon Lotus Valley - Forms were out in last week of August and you could fill forms over a period on 2-3 days and submit at school reception. - Advertisements are put up on school website and newspapers week ahead so keep checking,

Her new best friend!

-

It seemed she could never meet her standards. The high levels that always seemed so far fetched. To outside world she was great, an independent thinker, an achiever, value creator. But to her own self she was so ungenerous, stingy and demanding. One day standing facing the mirror, her inner girl demanded an explanation. An explanation for missed appreciations, an explanation for unexplained coldness. And she had no words to say in her defense, for once and all she felt ashamed.Ashamed of having failed to please her own soul, ashamed of depriving her of all the love. She looked into her eyes and made a promise! A promise to give her the due credit she deserved, a promise to nurture and celebrate her and make her feel proud. Since then, they have been  Best Friends !
