		<description><![CDATA[Headline pretty much sums up my frustration with lot of parents - yes including my own household. Kids need to learn mythology. They need to know our culture. Culture of bygone days. Days so far away from today that our sanitized sensibilities cannot see the bad, cannot see the class layers, cannot see the caste layers and definitely cannot see the shoes wore in those days...]]></description>

Like everything else which used to be fun we revisit the very notion of summer camp and ask big question in our internet-addicted times. Are summer camps still fun for kids? ]]></description>

We like it or not, we have stepped into times where the line between the virtual and physical world is getting blur. Online sexual abuse is on the rise and is as damaging as physical abuse. When I talked to friends about this initiative, was surprised to hear how they  completely overlook online abuse. These friends, who are otherwise ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The theme for one of the Sunday&#8217;s reading/crafts session we did back in August was Reuse/Recycle/Reduce. We started the session by reading this book &#8211; Chasing the Plastic Pisach by Pratham Books. We followed the reading session by making a paper basket out of newspaper strips and out of cereal cartons. In a repeat session, we made another basket with a LOT of glue and magazine strips ( post to follow ).

What you need: 
One hour&#8217;s time, newspaper OR cereal cartons, stapler, paint, patience and a lot of excitement.

		<description><![CDATA[Excellent write up on the role of picture books in child development, by Lori Calabrese at The Children&#8217;s Book Review site. 
Some points I could completely identify with:

-Picture books are multi-sensory, which aids a childâ€™s growing mind and stimulates their imagination.
-The repetition in many picture books allows a child to participate in the story.
-Children love art.
-The illustrations of a picture book help children understand what they are reading and allow young readers to analyze the story.
-Chapter books are not necessarily more complex than picture books and in fact, their vocabulary ...]]></description>

Goal was to make the kids measure, mix, feel the texture, observe the texture change from coarse to smooth. And of course the glow on the kids faces when they start mixing color to the cooked playdough and see it all coming through after patiently waiting for 15 minutes!

		<description><![CDATA[Are you a NRI parent wanting your child to be familiar with basic Hindi. Here is an iPad application that could be the first step in generating interest. It is fun and very simple to use. 
As a parent, I have been struggling to get my 5yro daughter interested in Hindi. She can speak decent Hindi now, but there was no interest in written language. 75% of her Hindi schoolwork stays incomplete. This app has helped tremendously. Both my daughters love the leaderboard screen that toggles between the alphabet and ...]]></description>

Our apartment initiated a Go Green campaign few weeks back, with posters all over the apartment complex, starting from the entrance gate to the lift.

		<description><![CDATA[Hoo&#8217;s Tales is a week long carnival organized by Hippocampus. This past Saturday was their curtain raiser, a day long story telling and puppetry carnival at Cubbon Park. We went for the afternoon session, and the initial thought of the weather being insanely hot got swept over by Richard Martin&#8217;s story narration in just few minutes. 
Every story teller had their own unique style. While Richard Martin&#8217;s narration was interactive with the children from the audience participating in the narration, Jeeva Raghunath&#8217;s narration was loud, animated in the form of ...]]></description>
