Summer vacation allows you to delve into a leisurely routine. There is no fixed time to wake up in the morning, you can have pizzas or pastas for breakfast, and movie nights and slumber parties happen every other night.
Some kids are overly excited about the new term starting while others can’t be more glum about it. However, one thing is for certain, almost everyone is obsessed with stationery supplies and kits. As a grown-up, I still get butterflies in my stomach when I come across a shiny box of crayons or scented fruit-shaped […]

I spent majority of my childhood in a quaint house on a forested trail. Whenever we were allowed to play outdoors, we would grab our rusty bicycles and ride them through the trees with branches stuck in our hair, by the stagnant pond we were fond of and finally to the bumpy pebbled track that […]
After a long, wonderful summer vacation, schools are just about to open. Parents can’t be more thankful – They will finally have a few peaceful hours they had been craving all summer long. Children, on the other hand, have mixed feelings.

There are many compelling reasons why a teenager needs to start working. First of all, they realize the importance of money and savings by earning through their own hard-work. Secondly, they learn to grow independent and don’t rely on their parents for each and everything. Unfortunately, it is a double-edged sword.
When I was a child, one of my favourite pastime activities was going through my parent’s wallet and purse. No, it was not to steal the money. It was due to my intense fascination with the cards, paper money coins and
“My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.” 12 years ago, Sir Ken Robinson challenged the schooling system and questioned the way we are educating our children.

Children love to experiment and create things. Be it throwing a rattle off the table, playing with bath bubbles and foam, or building tall towers from blocks, children inherently know how to keep themselves busy. Older children indulge in imaginative scenarios, draw and color intricately and show interest in science and art and crafts.

We’ve all been there, when the weather’s tremendously bad outside, and the kids have been stuck indoors for far too long. They’re bouncing of the walls, getting under your feet and generally need to work off some pent-up energy. You could head out to a jungle gym or indoor play area, but you’ve got work […]
