Amitabh Bachchan has written the foreword. In his words, “Ever so rarely, you come upon a book that is timeless.” Speaking at the book release programme in Hyderabad, Upasana said, “We need to engage with children more than ever before as our society has changed so much.
To communicate with today's generation one needs to understand how they think, how they relate and this book will help parents understand the key to communicating with this generation.”
“The world has changed since we were children, baby's have FB accounts and are on social media; today's kids are born stars. You should know what you are getting into; therefore a special emphasis is being laid on parenting,” she added.
Elaborating on parenting techniques, she said, “Parents need to concentrate on kids in the age group of one to five years, that's when the child's brain develops. Spend more time with them during this period.” In her parting comment she said, “This book will help my children (when they are born) to decide whether they want to become actors or doctors."
“We all want our kids to grow up happy and optimistic. We want them to experience the world as a safe place where anything is possible and all their dreams come true. But, how does one prepare a child to face the world? How does one communicate with a generation that just does not have the time to hear, leave alone listen?” said Dr Anupam Sibal, Senior Pediatrician and author.
He has drawn on his experience as a pediatrician and parent to create this offering. The book focuses on the values and qualities that mould children. It explores the crux of parenting and answers the million-dollar question – “Is your child is ready to face the world?”
