Elizabeth Hardwick, Novelist and Literary Critic who published ‘The Decline of Book Reviewing’ had proclaimed that the greatest gift you can give to your child is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, and it gives knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind.
Roshini Thadini, Director of Hide & Peek informed, “The current realities surrounding our children include host of distractions, too much TV, inability of parents to take time out to read to children and a simple inability to select right book for the little one! Inspired by the great thought from Elizabeth Hardwick we are introducing a series of workshops on Nurturing Reading Habits for 0-6 year old children. We plan to introduce more innovative learning exercises before the summer vacation ensues, and each will be fun and encourage children to explore our world simultaneously.”
The workshop, designed by Shamsa Mistry (MSc Research Methods and Analysis, UK), encourages and extends support to parents in nurturing reading habits in their children. With over 15 years of experience in teaching and training, Shamsa a mother of two, adds her own personal experiences to these sessions.
The workshop will highlight the challenges parents face in initiating and sustaining reading habit and brainstorm on possible solutions. The topics for discussions will range from selecting an appropriate book for each age, to inculcating a regular reading habit, to introducing the world of books and various means of encouraging reading habits. It will also provide a platform to share and grow with other likeminded parents.
Hide and Peek believes in the principle that urban spaces, rich in culture, diversity and experiences, can provide and nurture the creative world of our children. The playschool encourages children to enjoy outdoor playing and discover their world by themselves.
Hide and Peek, earlier known as Peekaboo, is a warm ‘n bright place, spread over 4,500 sq. ft of childrens' indoor and outdoor play centre. Come rain or sunshine, hide & peek is designed for children birth through elementary age and offers a safe and family-friendly play environment in which both children and parents can have fun!
