“As a young mother, I was always overwhelmed. And fearful. I had so many questions, and no answers. Of course, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Adele Faber and their ilk held my hand for a while, but could not assuage my fears. Not totally. I read the best books on parenting, written by trained child psychologists, Ph.Ds and M.Ds, but they were speaking to the western world. I needed to hear from someone who knew my world, my challenges, my insecurities and my social milieu. I missed having a book by my bedside, which I could leaf through and find answers.This is how this book came about. Hope you find some of your answers here.”—Shabnam Gupta
