Raise readers & confident voices
We were privileged to have @Shweta Dharamdasani from the @familytree.camhs join us to speak about one of the biggest parenting challenges of our time—screen time and its impact on children's attention, learning, behaviour, and the growing conversation around ADHD.
This wasn't about demonising technology. It was about reminding ourselves that childhood deserves more than endless scrolling.
Books build imagination. Conversations build connection. Play builds resilience.
And sometimes, the most important thing we can do is put the screen down... and look our children in the eye.
Because the memories they'll cherish won't be the videos they watched—they'll be the moments they lived.
A heartfelt thank you to @luxorcrayola Crayola for partnering with us and celebrating the power of creativity—because every crayon picked up is one less screen picked up, and every colour a child discovers is another story waiting to be told.
Here's to raising readers, thinkers, dreamers, and children who know that the greatest adventures don't begin with a notification—they begin with, "Once upon a time..."

A strong Moment From Our Show- The Bad case of Stripes and Screens !
“My child is shy.”
“My child only wants screens.”
“My child has no friends.”
“My child doesn’t listen.”
Parents: “Is there a manual for this child?” 😅
If you’ve ever Googled a parenting question at 2 AM...
TYPE “YES” below.
In this world of crayons and curious eyes, every bow is a promise kept: that wonder, joy, and a pinch of mischief can light up a whole auditorium. Thank you for allowing me to cradle their innocence and witness their bravery as they become the story.
Captured happiness, indeed — a moment, a memory, a heartbeat on the boards.
The kids performed with a magic that only true little stars can summon. These kids come to me and take a piece of my heart—every single time. I’ve been nurturing this dream for nearly 12 years, and after 15 shows, the glitter of happiness and the spark of drive remain brighter than ever. They arrive shy, and then step onto the stage, weaving something utterly magical and transformative. I feel so Proud 🥹

From the stage to these beautiful reactions — every word feels like a warm hug for the little performers
The loudest applause wasn’t only in the auditorium… it lives in these emotional little moments after the show
When parents say, “They haven’t stopped talking about the show”…
that’s the real applause for us ✨

Nothing feels more magical than hearing parents talk about the joy, laughter and wonder their little ones carried home after the show.
These post-show moments, happy smiles, teary eyes, tight hugs and excited little conversations are exactly why we create this magic ❤️
Because stories don’t end on stage…
they travel back home in every child’s heart.

Colours, creativity, tiny performers, and a whole lot of imagination. ❤️🎭
A huge thank you to Crayola for being our gifting partner and adding even more colour to our little theatre world.
From crayons in tiny hands to confidence on stage — this collaboration felt like the perfect match. ❤️
Our children laughed louder, created bigger, performed braver… and went home with smiles (and colours) that matched the magic of the day.
Thank you for believing in creativity, storytelling, and childhood wonder as much as we do. 🌈✨

17th May-Theatre does something beautiful to children.
This month, we performed 3 shows and this was the first.…Show # One.
May was basically powered by theatre chaos — costumes everywhere, backstage pep talks, forgotten water bottles, last-minute line revisions, loud rehearsals, and children slowly turning into little stars right before our eyes.
These children walked onto stage with confidence, courage, wit, and pure magic in their voices. Watching them perform felt emotional in the best possible way.
A very special thank you to our wonderful Chief Guest, Pravishi Das — not just incredibly talented, but one of the warmest, kindest, most thoughtful humans. The children absolutely adored her, and so did we.
To my little performers —
you were brave,
brilliant,and completely unforgettable.

What a beautiful reminder that theatre is never just about a performance… it’s about watching children grow, shine, and believe in themselves while parents watch with the proudest eyes in the room.
Here’s to the loudest cheers, the warmest hugs, and the magic created together as one big family.
