The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
Mother Mentioned Her Teenage Mistake to Know the Problem of Her Daughter Should parents tell their mistakes to children to make them open up?
A mother of a teenage daughter shared something valuable and thought-provoking with Bright Side. Her daughter was constantly ignoring her. She was unsure about the cause, but deep down, she knew that there must be some struggle in her daughter's mind keeping her away from her mother

A promise made by promise. Content Warning.
A mother's love begins its daily ritual with a soft rustle of her child's breath, and throughout the day, it takes on various forms such as tender kisses, whispered words of encouragement, and unwavering support. This quiet strength guides her child through life's uncertainties, providing reassurance in a world filled with unknowns.

Parting With the Dark Cloud. Runner-Up in The Dragon Beside Me Challenge.
I was in Mrs. Seymour’s fourth grade class. I was the quiet student. I was smart, but I was respectful which made me appear to be meek and shy. I had never been in trouble at school or, for that matter, even received “a look” from any teacher. Yes, I was that little girl - Little Miss Goody-Two-Shoes!

~Mother~
Mama, I see you. It took a long time but I see you. I can understand now. I got hurt because they hurt you. It doesn't make what was done right but that is the hard truth of generational trauma. We all are little children who need to feel loved, wanted, needed, accepted, and protected. When that doesn't happen for one reason or the other, that is when trauma comes into play. Our human minds can't accept the fact that someone who was supposed to love us, someone who was supposed to protect us has rejected us. We will forever question, why? What did we do to deserve this? It must be our fault somehow we assume. Most of the time, it is not about us but the person rejecting us and their past. The pain they felt; and rejection get projected onto someone else. The pain isn't meant to be shared but it has to come out some way and too often it comes out in the wrong way. This needs to end. We are all human; at the end of the day, we can only do our best. However, a genuine effort needs to be made to not pass this poison down the line to our children and the next generation. I'm personally working on my change and my truth. There are better outlets, more healthy outlets, than passing our anger, hatred, bitterness, and pain onto a loved one.

How to Influence Teens Today
Teenagers today do not wait for their teachers and parents to quench their curiosity. They stay empowered all the time, holding a device in their palms. Earlier, even today, the best way to guide teenagers was by leading by example. I’ve seen that teenagers often emulate the behaviours and values they observe in adults.

Narrating & Modeling: Language Acquisition for Littles
Narrating & Modeling: Narrating and modeling are invaluable tools in teaching young children. Narrating involves verbally describing actions, emotions and situations as they occur, providing children with a clear understanding of what is happening around them. This helps build their vocabulary and comprehension skills, enabling them to communicate their own feelings and needs more effectively. For children who may display anxious tendencies or feel challeneged by transitions, narrating offers the additional benefit of adding predictability to the routine, while providing the child with context as to what is happening, when and why.
