Creative Thinking - It’s Child’s Play!

Creative thinking is among the most essential skills of the future. It allows us to empathise, understand the heart of the problem, and iterate solutions until we find one that works. Children use this skill all the time - when they pick up a new skill, navigate new social scenarios, or solve problems at school. They also use this skill (very deftly!) when they negotiate with us.

Ask Ruchira: How Can I Make My Child’s Summer Truly Meaningful?

Holidays are here… but how do I make them count?” This is one of the most common questions I hear from both parents and children. We spend the entire year waiting for a break. And when it finally arrives, we often swing between two extremes—either overplanning every day or letting the days drift by with screens and boredom.

Can Screens Delay Milestones in Advance?

Every parent waits for those first milestones. The first smile that feels intentional. The first time your baby rolls over. The moment they sit, crawl, stand, or say their first word. These aren’t just “developmental checkpoints”—they are emotional moments that stay with you forever.

Why Babies Need Faces, Not Screens

The wide eyes, the tiny smile forming, the sudden kick of excitement when they recognize someone familiar—it’s not just cute, it’s deeply meaningful. In those moments, a baby isn’t just “looking.” They are learning, connecting, building their brain in ways that will shape their entire life.

Becoming a parent is often painted as a beautiful, joyful journey. And yes, it is. But beneath all the excitement, there’s another side that doesn’t get spoken about enough—the fears. Not the obvious ones. Not the ones people casually mention. But the quiet, uncomfortable thoughts that come late at night… the ones you hesitate to say out loud.

How to Play With Your Child: Why Guided Play Is the Secret to Early Learning Success

In the first few years of life, a child’s brain develops faster than at any other stage. According to the Harvard Center on the Developing Child, early experiences and responsive interactions with caregivers shape the brain’s architecture and directly influence learning, behavior, and emotional well-being later in life. This means that the quality of interaction during playtime matters far more than teaching the alphabet or numbers too early.

What Are Healthy Milestones in the First 2 Years?

Every child grows at their own pace, but there are common signs that show healthy progress. These include changes in movement, communication, and behavior over time. Knowing what to expect can help parents feel more aware and confident while watching their child learn and develop day by day.
