Bibliophiles Journey
Many parents get caught up in a rat race, trying to make their kids excel at everything. They often resort to gimmicky tools or excessive activities leading to stress. This trend worrying me, especially since I realised I might unknowingly fall into the same trap
So, I decided to dive deep into research about developing a positive lifestyle for kids. Being a book lover, introducing reading was my first thought. But I didn't want it to feel like a chore - I wanted to make it enjoyable. I carefully researched and selected age-appropriate books that matched my daughter's interests. As a result, she fell in love with reading and it helped in her imagination and balanced the screen time.
Now she can't go to sleep without having me read 2-3 books to her every night and at age of 3 she had 700 books of her own.
My friends and other parents noticed this positive change, and soon I found myself recommending and selling age-appropriate books to them. The kids loved these books, and reading became a fun experience for them too. We even took it a step further and published five books of our own!
But Bibliophiles isn't just about books. We realised there's a need to nurture important traits in children from an early age - things like care, empathy, and sense of belonging. That's why we introduced personalised labels. When kids stick these on their belongings, it gives them a sense of ownership and encourages them to take better care of their stuff. It might seem small, but it actually helps shape their personality, making them feel valued and teaching them to value others.
That’s how my little venture, Bibliophiles, was born. In 6 months after the launch we got more than 10K customers and 150+ reviews motivating us to do more. We're constantly on the lookout for simple solutions that can make parenting a positive experience for both the parent and the child. At Bibliophiles, our ultimate goal is to raise happy, well-rounded kids who are prepared for the future.
