📚 10 Tips to Raise a Reader | How to Raise a Child Who Loves BooksI have always believed that books are more than something we read. They are places we visit, questions we ask, conversations we start, and sometimes, friends we carry for life.As a doctor, mother, lifelong reader and author, I have seen how reading can quietly become one of the most valuable habits we give our children.In this episode of the Healthwealthbridge Podcast, I share 10 practical tips to raise a reader and help children develop a genuine love for books.How do we encourage children to read in a world of screens and constant distractions?How do we choose books for different ages?Should we insist that children finish every book?And most importantly, how can we make reading a joyful family habit rather than another item on a child's to-do list?These are some of the questions I explore in this episode, drawing from my own journey as a bookworm mommy, doctor, writer and author.If you are a parent, teacher, caregiver, or simply someone who believes that raising readers is an investment in curious, independent and thoughtful children, I hope you find something useful here.Read the blogpost here https://healthwealthbridge.com/how-to-raise-a-reader/📖 About my booksWriting has been another part of my lifelong love affair with learning and storytelling.

Do Indian women have freedom?Do they have more freedom than our neighbours?Do Indians appreciate India ?In this podcast I talk about the India I saw while growing up and while raising a child.In this world of protests and abuses you need to appreciate the soil which gives you so much that you can say what you want just because you are a student and get away with it .Khudiram Bose was just 18 when he was hanged to death.That young man didnt give up his life to support the current group of power hungry ,attention craving parasites,who think being young gives them invincible.The Blogpost https://healthwealthbridge.com/in-india-i-see-freedom/
