    This set of two books for children aged 1.5 to 3 years and 3 to 6 years is a rare addition to scientific books about play in early childhood written in Marathi. These books are based on the experience gained from Parent-Child Play Programs designed and conducted by me in Pune. The books blend theoretical knowledge about stages of play in early childhood and easy-to-follow guidelines for adult participation with children in open and structured play enviornments. The books give ideas for how a range of materials readily available in our surroundings can be creatively adopted for a variety of play activities.

  • Writing the book हसत खेळत बुद्धिविकास (Hasat Khelat Buddhivikas):

    Based on the Comprehensive Child Development Program of Jnana Prabodhini’s Institute of Psychology, I co-authored a book with Dr. Usha Khire before completing my postgraduation. The book is a guide for trainers to understand the multifaceted nature of intelligence, and it is a handbook for teachers, trainers, and parents to conduct play activities to stimulate various dimensions of intelligence like verbal ability, numerical ability, memory, divergent thinking, convergent thinking, and problem solving. Four editions of this book have now been published, and I have contributed in upgrading the book with every new edition. The book has been extensively used as a guideline for various projects conducted by different departments and centres of Jnana Prabodhini across Maharashtra.
