About
The Tender Twigs is a print newspaper for children with the basic idea of delivering knowledge to them in an engaging and interesting way so that every child feels connected and gets involved in this journey of words. We aim to provide a holistic development by inculcating life skills in them so as to make them mature and responsible citizens of tomorrow. We hope to curate a paper that provides a perfect blend of information and entertainment to keep them hooked to non-fictional and factual reading.At The Tender Twigs, we know that framing of a news is like providing a spectacle to the reader for understanding the situations and circumstances. Hence, we are very careful on what information we provide to our young minds and how we present it to them. Instead of stating that ‘we are losing water on earth, we state how water is wasted and ways to restore it’. This instils hope and positivity in them instead of making them disappointed and scared.
Our Belief
We believe that children are like twigs …tender and gentle. They Grow, Branch and Bloom, adding leaves of knowledge to their lives every day. They branch out in the direction which we show them. Environment and society play a very important role in defining their perspective and shaping their future. We at The Tender Twigs want to contribute in these growing years of their life by providing knowledge and awareness to their curious minds and hope and happiness to their exploring hearts. Our distinguishing factor is that we strive to bring out the positive and inspiring perspective in every bit of news/article that we publish in our colorful catchy newspaper.Our Team
Our team strives to deliver a paper that would fascinate kids and would be loved by their parents and teachers too!!
