Parenting Wars
Do or do not - there is no try. The ins and outs of one of the most difficult jobs on earth: parenting.
WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, ADULTS KNOW BETTER!
No matter who we are as people and what our experiences are, being a child is a very unique experience. As children we have less responsibilities and expectations placed upon us. Though I wouldn’t go as far as to say that life is easier when we’re very young. Firstly the reason for children having less expectations is because they don’t know quite as much as they will eventually know when they’re grown. This comes from a combination of our development from growth and our experience from time. Regardless of how I’ve developed cognitively, experience has also played a major role in me eventually becoming who I am now.

Come Mommy and Baby, Let’s Prep for the Preschool Stage!
Oh dear! Tired and stressed mommy, we very much understand your worries for preparing your little baby for this crucial stage of her/his life – joining the preschool. Your bundle of joy is going to step out of your embrace for the first time, and you’d be both regretting the idea and being excited for the milestone – both at the same time. But well, that’s motherhood! There’s always guilt attached with every new step your little bird takes to explore the world (where you won’t be with them, glued).

5 Ways to Keep Your Child’s Brain Active This Summer
Did you know that your child could be experiencing summer learning loss? During school breaks, kids can lose as much as 30% of the academic progress that they made in the previous school year. After a long school year, many children prefer television and video games over reading and other forms of learning. Breaks and relaxation are important, but so is keeping their mind active. A lot of progress that was made during the previous school year can be lost in a couple of months. When planning learning activities, consider your child’s interests and introduce some new concepts in a variety of subject areas. Boredom never has to be an issue if you know where to look for learning opportunities. Your child may even find love for a certain subject area or an undiscovered talent. Avoid a summer setback by having your child:

0- 1 years
Developmental milestones are called skills such as taking a first move, laughing for the first time, and waving "bye-bye". Developmental milestones are stuff most kids should be able to do by some point. Children hit milestones in their playing, studying, communicating, behaving and running (like crawling, walking or jumping).

From an adoptive parent during the "black lives matter" movement
The "Black lives matter" movement brings a bit of hope for my child's future. To be honest, my decision never came easy. I knew it would never be an easy fight, but my wish for us to be family was my fuel. I think and overthink all the scenarios that can or might be happening to him. Some can be upsetting. Because of that, I try desperately to prepare him. Many times my decision to "take him from his home" was misjudged. There'll always be people to comment on what you do, no matter what you do and without knowing facts. My focus is not on that kind of people. Yours shouldn't be on them, also. My focus is on Karim, my family, my friends and trying to make everything work for us, fairly.

TOMMY
Tommy was known to be a very clever kid in school, getting high grades in his class and always boasted to his older brother Ken that he was the only clever person in his class. But he never knew that his mother was cleverer than he was until after the following incidents.

Teaching Your Children Valuable Lessons
When you’re helping your children learn, you want your actions to demonstrate what you’re trying to teach them. You want to serve as a role model to instill core values and help your children see the world for the better while striving to be better. Here are some important ways that you can help teach your kids valuable lessons about learning, being global citizens, accepting social responsibility, demonstrating kindness and compassion, and taking a stand against injustice. When you remain actively involved in your children’s education and you make a concerted effort to help teach them with your action, you’ll help your children to learn about their world and their role in it in the most positive way possible.

How to Transition Your Baby to Dairy
If you have a newborn baby who is formula-fed, and you notice they are sensitive to or may be allergic to milk protein; soy-based infant formulas are one of the many substitutes available on the market. It's still important, however, to attempt to reintroduce milk protein later on, since these sensitivities can go away. But, if your baby is formula-fed, you don't want to switch directly to whole (3.25%) milk just yet. It's important to introduce gradually.
