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 like 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.

When I got to know about the Travel Diary by LitJoys just a day before his birthday, I had a feeling he would love it as he is a very curious and creative child. I bought the one on Japan to surprise him. What my son loves the most about the Travel Diary is the craft work. I think he finds it immensely fascinating! Each and every page that we create is HIS expression. There is no template that forces him to think or present his thoughts in a certain way. Through the Travel Diary we both get a chance to relive our travel memories and have some very interesting conversations, which we probably missed while we were there last year! It gives him an opportunity to ask all sort of interesting questions and discuss larger life concepts (why is monkey in a cage in a zoo and not on the trees?). I love the fact that it provides me an opportunity to have those constructive and creative conversations with my child, which are so rare in our faced paced lives! The beauty of making the diary is that it provides a very engaging medium to all of us to spend time together as a family. I cannot delegate this to anyone else, except my own husband maybe, and that’s something that I am very happy about 🙂" - Priyanka Jaitly Babbar, mother of a 5 year old Read more about our experience of making the Travel Diary at https://litjoys.com/2017/06/22/clean-roads-bullet-trains-and-cherry-blossoms-the-diary-that-allowed-me-to-have-rare-creative-constructive-conversations-with-my-son/ #lovetotravel #positiveparenting #family #earlychildhoodeducation Orange is a colour that usually one associates with fall colours that we do not have the privilege of viewing in India. But for me and my little one it has become the colour that brings joy to our Indian summer as we rediscover our love for nature while admiring the beautiful orange flowers of Gulmohar tree lining up the streets and parks of our city and get inspired to redesign the nature book on our favourite tree.
