Until now, my 2 year-old baby, Mishti was I can call would be
an enthusiast paper tear-er. Sure, she loved
looking at the pictures and colours in the books but absolutely hated to listen
quietly when I would read to her. Her enthusiasm to listen was lukewarm and was
a big struggle on my part to somehow make her sit with a book quietly.
My struggle to make her a good story listener was
becoming a battle. Her learning level was awesome, but interest to sit and listen
was too low and thus I stopped buying anymore story books. I bought her some very
basic small books of alphabets, animals and shapes that had laminated pages. Even
this couldn’t keep her assigned and she got bored after few days on looking at
the same pictures again and again!
