Every parent aspires to provide an exceptional upbringing for their child. Considering a myriad of elements related to child development, Dr. Manjula Pooja Shroff has crafted “Baby Steps To Big Dreams” to enable parents to successfully raise their children.
I would like to mention one particular chapter from the book here – Pre-Teen Talk, where the writer explores the significance of: How to break ice, create a comfortable environment, to be a role model for your child, and avoid comparisons for better communication. Can you imagine ideal parenting without integrating these elements?
Overall, “Baby Steps To Big Dreams” is a book that encompasses day-to-day hacks to help parents establish strong, reliable, and friendly relationships with their kids.
The book takes the reader on a journey of every parent starting from pregnancy to adolescent children. It not only contains references of ancient events and wisdom but also addresses modern issues like body shaming, social media acceptance, relationship break ups and even drugs and same sex attraction.
I think this book answers every issue grappled by modern day parents. It is riveting because it gives clear and unambiguous thinking of a child on one side and provides useful and practical tips to parents on the other side. It shows deep sense of understanding and knowledge of yours on child psychology and parenting.

In essence, whatever challenges parents face, this book provides practical solutions and strategies.
What truly sets this book apart is its incorporation of numerous real-life case studies and hands-on exercises that can be readily applied in day-to-day parenting situations. In short, it's an indispensable resource for parents seeking guidance and support in their journey of raising children.
The book clearly defines Dr Shroff as an edupreneur, a very good teacher and an excellent mother. The practical mantras of the book clearly resonates the importance of good Parenting and serves as a guide to implement positive parenting in our homes.
Dealing with children is a day-today challenge that is faced by every new Gen-parent. Executing the well explained practical methods to deal with different age group and different types of children is the highlight keeping child behaviour with right appropriateness.
I as a parent and a doctor highly recommend this book for the better up-bringing of each child and become a stress-free parent.
It gives me immense pleasure to share about the remarkable book, "Baby Steps to Big Dreams" by the insightful Dr. Manjula Pooja Shroff. Initially, I was apprehensive about delving into the entire book and offering my perspective as a parent within such a short timeframe. However, as I embarked on this literary journey, I was pleasantly surprised by how deeply I connected with its content.
This book, in my opinion, is an exquisite blend of nature and nurture. It seamlessly combines elements of motivation and self-help, instilling in its readers the significance of defining clear objectives and embarking on a journey of small, consistent steps toward achieving them. What sets Dr. Shroff's work apart is her ability to interweave personal anecdotes and success stories, rendering practical advice on essential facets such as self-belief, resilience, time management, and the transformative power of a positive mindset.
