Answering one of the most frequently asked questio Answering one of the most frequently asked question. 
My child/ student is 6 or 7 or 8 years old and they still refuse chapter books and prefer to read picture books or ask to be read aloud to.

But before that, YOUR CHILD IS NOT BEHIND.

Now I understand how frustrating it can be, but a child refusing a chapter book does not mean they're refusing ready. They're probably asking, "I need a book that helps me feel safe and confident. I don't think I can do it."

And that's where we come in as prepared adults. The more you push, the more it creates a reading block.
What about the joy and skills?

Try these kinds of books instead which help build confidence and pre-independent reading skills steadily.

The pictures I've used are simply some of my top 10 in that category. Scrolling down on my profile will give you detailed posts on many of the individual categories.

Do you need a part 2?

Although this is my third year at the KSP Awards, Although this is my third year at the KSP Awards, this is the first time I left my children behind on a school day. ( Oh how I miss homeschooling!)

Yesterday, I closed a workshop, held my babies longer, and flew to Mumbai. 

Today, sitting in a room filled with voices shaping parenting in our country, meeting @mansi.zaveri , receiving the award from @simrun.chopra and meeting some lovely folks, surrounded by mine, and most of all taking up space, I felt nothing but gratitude.

Grateful for this work.
Grateful for this calling.
Grateful for a community that shapes this corner of instagram.

Dear community, 
Thank you for the nomination.
Thank you for every vote.
Thank you for choosing calm, reflection, and conscious parenting. Again and again.

Today reminded me that when life places poison in our hands, it also places Shiva beside us..quietly holding it for us, asking only that we keep showing up with faith.

If this space ever held space for you, I hope you pass it on.💜
