About the Book:
As parents, we want to give all that is
best to our kids, both tangible and intangible, from education to things of
daily need. We want the best for them. But, as they say, ‘it is not always the
presents they want, but you to be present with them’. Because what a parent can
teach a child, probably no one can. The attitude of gratitude is one such
crucial social skill we ought to impart from an early age. Often, we just
instruct them to say thank you, welcome," etc., but it ends up being
a ritual for them rather than them understanding the real implications. 'It's Time
to Say Thank You' book is truly an Indian book that takes charge to make our
little ones be thankful for whatever they have, and also to engage them with
fun activities inside.
Radhika: Congratulations!
How are you feeling about becoming a first-time author?
Author Yogita: First of all,
thank you so much for giving me this opportunity and inviting me here, to share
my thoughts. To be honest, I am very happy and nervous at the same time. I am
sure you can feel me.
Radhika: What
motivated you to write a children's book?
Author Yogita: I feel the msg that I have in the
book is very special and everyone needs to consider that in their life. I want
to spread that, especially for the little ones because most of them are
blessed with everything in their life, and still, they cry for a new thing
every day.
Radhika: Did
you face any challenges during the writing process? How did you overcome them?
Author Yogita: Umm… writing this was not a
challenge but to make this song rhymic was little. I used to sing this song to
get the best version of it & even I sing this daily for my daughter as a night-time song.
Author Yogita: For designing, I trusted Dr. Sai
Kaustuv Dasgupta, The wheelchair Warrior in India, and he did amazing
work.
I worked hard to choose activities
and more & Sai have them the shape.
Radhika: Please elaborate on how parents and teachers can use the book
to its fullest.
Author Yogita: Thank you for asking this. First
thing first, if you have money and you are buying this because your kid wants
that don't buy it. Because trust me, they will open this once or twice but as
conscious parents, you need to encourage your child to read that book or sing
that song for your little ones, even for the newborn.
Discuss things like, for example -
I am thankful for your good grades.
Or maybe mumma is happy because you finished your lunch.
When you will show this gratitude, they will also start considering the
small things that are there and valuable.
You can ask them – why are they
thankful today and listen carefully to their answers or help to give one
answer.
In short - Actively engage your child
with the blessings he/she had in their life.
“Gratitude simply means
"Be thankful for what we have". We are blessed with abundance in
life, but are we valuing that? Thus, are we also teaching our kids the same
thing?
Being a parent, I
want my child to learn the power of Gratitude. This book by the author, Yogita Aggarwal helps in defining the same
term with great illustrations and conveying a great message to our kids.
This book is a requirement if you want to teach kids the value of things. Additionally, this book offers several fun activities for kids. Highly advised for children between the ages of 4 and 10 years."

The subject that is dealt in the book is very important, especially in these times, when people do not seem to have time to express gratitude. Inculcating this value in kids early on is definitely desirable.
ReplyDeleteIt's incredibly motivating to witness your dedication to instilling essential life principles in the younger generation. The concept of using vibrant visuals and interactive tasks to teach gratitude is ingenious.

Such a detailed review. Yes I to agree and encourage to make kids of this generation aware about the values, gratitude, being kind and helpful.
ReplyDeleteYour detailed review made me think about reading and gifting this to my know ones in my circle who is in this younger generation group.
I like the title 'It's Time to Say Thank You'. It reminded me of the time i was forced to say, thank you, sorry, and good evening to people without knowing why I was expected to say them. Many Indian parents are guilty of forcing these words on the kids ips without even giving a logical reason.
ReplyDeleteWrapped up 'It's Time To Say Thank You' with my kids and we're enchanted! This book radiates gratitude in a way kids can grasp. A heartwarming read indeed.
