Its been the 3rd day of my 2 weeks leave to explore Life as a Stay home parents. Ok. Its mostly becos my mom whom is the caretaker of my Little One is somewhere in Europe.
Before all these, I used to wake up early to prepare for work. Waking up early gives me time to play my games, check my messages and most of all, read the Straits Times. Well since I am on leave, I see no reason to wake up at 6.30am and would stretch my sleep for as long as possible. That is till my LO wakes up hungry. This would be about 7.30ish.
So there goes my Morning Me time and for the rest of the day, I would be sufficiently rested but am out sync with the news, current affairs and FB trending topics. And this got me thinking, what if there is a Newspaper just for kids. Wont this be a brilliant idea.
It could come with 2 main sections, that cater to ages 1-3 and 3-6. There would be articles that is not too heavy with words but yet gives young children a summary of the real news. This would encourage them to read and ask about the larger world out there.... (I might regret this part).
There would also be articles on what is relevant to their age group. Why I should finish my vegetables. Why is mushroom a killer. What to do with the class bully. Why I should stay in bed when there is noises coming from my parents room. You know, things like this.
There would also be fun parts that consist of puzzles and games. Just so that the kids are drawn to the papers.
Anyhow, I aint much of a writer and not at all a biz person. So if someone has the capability, I hope he/she takes this idea and introduce it for all.
