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!!

  On the last day of this year as I reflect on the year gone by, I feel a deep sense of realization and awareness of new perspectives I have developed. I am sure this year made each one of us to take a pause, step back and try make some sense out of this whole unpredictable event that happened. I think personally this year made me more aware of lot of different things, just adding some of them below. Do share what were your deepest realizations! YOUR PRIVILEDGE  : We are a lot more  privileged  than many others and that thought made me thank my stars many times and also feel guilty when I saw many others getting deeply impacted by what 2020 brought for them. FAMILY IS THE ROCK : Family is what keeps you going. When entire world and all external relations were shut for us, we all realized the value of near and dear ones and also how much important it is to have harmonious relationships with people who live under one roof. Family and relations are the foundation that k...
