Books are considered to be our best friends and it’s all the better to inculcate this habit since childhood. With changing times and technology, everything is going digital, be it shopping, banking, property search, business, communication or even studies.
At the age when we were learning to play gully cricket, today’s generation is swiftly downloading apps on their mobiles and even playing games on them. Kids catch and learn things pretty faster as they have a clean and uncluttered mind and thus it’s imperative to provide them with the environment and material to inhabit the right knowledge and habits since the beginning; as this learning is going to build a strong foundation for the later part of their life.
Most of our educational systems provide textbook knowledge, which kids are supposed to mug and retain then answer a few questions in their exams to secure good marks and make you feel a good parent in society.
