I have been fascinated with the concept of time and timepieces since I was a child. Partly because I grew up watching clocks and watches more than 50 times in a day thanks to my extremely time conscious father. But also because I loved gazing at the sun, stars, and moon and playing with shadows, all phenomena governed by time! So when I stumbled upon the astronomical clock while walking the streets in a recent trip to Prague, I was filled with awe and delight. Climbing up the tower to purchase a similar looking clock for home was more enjoyable than getting a bird's eye view of the city. The greatest joy though came when I realised that some of the most interesting facts linked to the animals are related to the concept of time while designing the next book on African Safari. Here was my opportunity to redesign the clock finally! To help little ones understand that there are 24 hours in a day, though most clocks and watches they see around show 12 hours, the difference between day and night hours, and how different eating, drinking, and sleeping, patterns of animals are from us humans. #litjoys #time #earlychildhoodlearning #animallover Child when I see the world through your eyes, I realise there is joy in experiences. Joy in spotting a new bird, feeding an animal, running around the beautiful flowers in a garden, counting the flags on buildings while riding the bus, much more joy than a perfect photo in front of a monument. And the world expands for us. Introducing travel diary for 18 different countries across the world to help you and your little ones expand your worldview, learn about a new country or record your travel memories. #lovetotravel #traveljoy #positiveparenting #travel I have been reading to my 3 year old toddler since he was 3 months old. While one of the benefits was early lanuguage development as with any other child, I started realising one of the greatest benefits of reading to him - influencing behaviour - only recently. Sharing a list of books, some famous and some not so famous, which helped me sail through some of the common parenting challenges - from eating food without fussing, developing a love for greens, having milk without fussing, getting potty trained easily, to going to school without any tantrums and learning to share with peers and being polite and saying please to get things done without screaming his lungs out. The terrible twos did not feel so terrible after all! The best part though is new found inspiration to write stories to influence child behaviours for books I design and make parenting much easier. #terribletwos #positiveparenting #lovetoread #theartofmotherhood #joysofreading It's almost been a year since we started this initiative to help parents nurture the joy of learning among their little ones. Many of you who have been following us, have been asking us why did we start, what we do exactly and how we do? We heard you! Here's a video which describes the why, what and how - our core philosophy and what drives us to do what we do! If you believe in our core philosophy, like us on fb @litjoys - nurturing the joy of learning to get ideas around how to experience many little moments of joy with your little ones and keep abreast of our latest product and service offerings! #positiveparenting #experientiallearning #earlychildhoodeducation #toxicchildhood After designing prototypes of multiple books for children with the mother over the last year, one fine day the toddler pulls out a diary from mom's work drawer and makes good use of it. While mom assumes that child is dressing up his favourite soft toy, the child clarifies "This is Design". #designthinking #litjoys #loveforcolours #theoryofdesign I grew up in Delhi, a city of five seasons, but would always think of seasons as primarily four (spring, summer, autumn, winter) as taught in my school text book. It was not until recently, when I started designing the seasons book for next Lit-Creations on nature theme and started representing seasons page by page in the context of changes in trees, that I consciously realised that there are actually five seasons in my city. Learning they say is a life long process. While I continue to enjoy learning new things (from trees and flowers in my city to birds and animals of different countries) as I design for nurturing the joy of learning among little ones, greatest joy comes from unlearning the learning.
