The child may develop a preference for choosing unchallenging reading matter which would slow up or even permanently stunt its progress. The prevalence of words in common usage can render less common words obsolete at this level, at least where every day conversations and everyday reading is concerned. It can then turn into a bad habit! Choosing children's books, or any book for our children is a challenge which should be met with care. Aside from their purely entertainment content, ... more...

The Srila Prabhupada educational system is designed to produce high class people, high not in wealth or status, but in character. The ideal character can be described the intellectual as tolerant and austere, of a civic leader as heroic, and so on.

Whether working directly in the service of Krishna or working to maintain their families, they do n... more...

As a mother and a science fiction fan, I really hope my children will grow to enjoy it as well. So far they\'re too young to read novels, but that doesn\'t mean I can\'t get them started. 1. Science Fiction Movies Some science fiction movies appeal to children even at a very young age. Think about the first Star Wars movie, for example.

Books are a treasure for which there is no measure. Literally, I mean you cannot weigh the value of books in terms of money. They are just too precious. They are a great source of information, whether hardcover or online. Books create a world of their own; a world of knowledge and enlightenment. From a very young age, children are basically inquisitive by nature. They want to search and look and ask a thousand questions. Their questions are not always foolish, and yet we cannot always sat... more...

Rowling, magic is depicted as a natural force, which can be used to overrule the basic laws of nature although it is approached entirely scientifically. In the Harry Potter series, there are a number of magical creatures - and a few ordinary creatures - which demonstrate magical properties, like the owls used to deliver posts.

The mind of a child is like a sponge, which soaks in knowledge. When children are young, their ability to absorb whatever they observe is very high. It is great to help them learn this way, but at the same time they should also be encouraged to make their own decisions. Now, with Interactive books available in a variety of forms, there is a great opportunity for children to sharpen their decision making skills at a young age. Normally, story books are fixed to a single plot, and they are ... more...
