    “”It is better to bind your children to you by a feeling of respect and by gentleness, than by fear.”” TERENCE.

    Children of any age group have their own likes &dislikes, fears, secrets, love and expectations. From their younger age itself, story -telling can be an effective means of communication, parents play a big role in incorporating this practice. Next to storytelling comes the books, Books are the best friends and encouraging the role of books in their lives reaps more benefits.

    Allow children to write or scribble on slates, papers, floors &walls. let them play with chalk pieces, pen, pencils, &colours in your supervision.

    Picture books- the first to be introduced to children, let them see observe and familiarise themselves.

    Then comes -the colouring books. Ask them to fill them with colours of their choice and create whole new world.

    Next comes drawing books, help them to make their lines into a new object or form.

    Buy books depending on their interest. If they love and like sparrows and cats, select the book which carries them and don’t buy the books that hold in them the things of which they are feared or scared like a ferocious tiger, an owl, or lizards etc.

    While you buy books for children, don’t buy the bigger volume, as such they may feel burdened with many pages. Go for two books with minimum pages.

    As for as possible be with children, while they read stories, help them get the right meaning and moral in a right way.

    Up to a certain stage till you feel that they manage on their own, support them with story -telling or you read out for them.

    Select books according to their age. Books meant for children are marked with age too. Get the right book for right age.

    Take them to the book shops as for as possible and with care & governance, just ask them take glance.

    There are variety of publishers in the children’s category, try as many as you can and update yourself and your child. Catch the one in which your child feels more comfortable.


    Kahil Gibran, the well-known Lebanese mystic, has expressed so beautifully in his masterpiece, ‘THE PROPHET”” about parenting:

    · “”You may give them (Your children) your love, but not your thoughts.

    · You may house their bodies but not their souls.

    For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams

    · You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

    · For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.””
