Hi, I live in London with my hubby and 2 boys. My background is in science, but I have always enjoyed writing. Those who know me well know my need for detail and how I seek people who know how to tell a good story! This is my first book, my passion project, so this world is very new to me.

Dear Readers,
How much screen time is too much screen time?
Screen time isn’t always unhealthy, but we need to monitor what content children engage with and what is best for their learning and overall mental and physical development. There are also ways that parents can moderate and manage their child’s screen time to help ensure that kids have a healthy relationship with their screens according to their age.
It is always challenging for me to create content that is fun and educational at the same time. This feeling multiplies when we have the pressure to put together the best quality content that our readers are proud of!
This month, we have Independence Day of India on the 15th of August, so we included facts about Chandrayaan 3, a story of patriotism and activities that promote love, peace, diversity, and inclusion.
Please share your feedback at kidliomag@gmail.com.
Happy Independence Day!
Happy Reading!

July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades, and concerts to more casual family gatherings. The skies light up with fireworks, and the streets are painted red, white, and blue. It’s pretty clear that Independence Day is one of America’s favorite holidays. But no matter where you live, there are tons of Independence Day activities to look forward to, and they don’t stop at the 4th of July. There are other interesting days in July like International Tiger Day, Chocolate Day, etc. So get ready to celebrate the events all through the month with the Kidliomag July edition.

Our 3rd Anniversary and Biggest-Ever Issue is a Heartfelt Tribute to the Readers!
On a personal level, putting together this anniversary edition was exciting, but also challenging for me as I always felt like I grew up with this magazine and with you all, reading your books, interviews, and articles. It is always challenging for me to create content, that our readers are proud of!

I always feel the responsibility of creating content that anyone can read irrespective of their age. This feeling multiplied times when we have the pressure to put together our 3rd-anniversary magazine. Assembling these pages was also an exercise of self-discovery and reevaluation.
I would like to thank all our authors and our contributors for always promoting the magazine. Lastly, and most importantly, thank you to our readers, who have been with us for the last three years.
