The Music-Obsessed Kid in Me Finally Got Her Wish

My earliest memories are steeped in music, all thanks to my mom. Actually she's a classical guitar player, and I can still picture her when her fingers dancing on the fret-board. She was the first person to teach me how to play guitar when I was just in elementary school. There's something beautiful and pure about the way she plays.  As I grew older, my fascination with music just expended. I was itching to learn more! I remember practically begging my parents for classical music lessons especially the violin and the piano. Unfortunately, life had other plans, We had just moved into a new house, and our savings were dedicated to school and settling in, so lessons just weren’t in the budget at that time. Honestly, though, it was fine.  When I was in junior high, my dad surprised me with a keyboard. I dove right into learning it, and I've loved having it.

Children's Reading Interest

It's been a long time since the pandemic, I haven't been to a bookstore. Thank God, the lockdown is over. I'm so excited, my son asked to go to the bookstore. So, we headed to our favorite bookstore. A little sharing about children's reading interest: 1. Parents who like to read can inspire children to like reading too, but of course this is not absolute thing. 2. The love of reading cannot arise by coercion. 3. The habit of reading such as; story telling or children'd bed time story also plays a big role in building their reading interest. 4. We have to realize that there are times when children don't want to read books. As parents, don't push them too much in reading, just take it easy.
