parents
The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
The gender biases that shape our brains
My daughter is obsessed with all things girly and pink. She gravitated to pink flowery dresses that are typically marketed for girls before she even turned two. When she was three and we saw a group of children playing football, I suggested she could join in when she was a bit older. "Football is not for girls," she replied, firmly. We carefully pointed out that girls, though in the minority, were playing too. She was unconvinced. However, she's also boisterous and loves to climb and jump, attributes often described as boyish.

Why the first five years are the most important in a child's life
As a parent, you must realize that your child's development during the first five years is very important to his health, mental state, growth, and future academic success in school. How your child's character is shaped during this period will determine his overall temperament and other aspects of his life as he grows into an adult.

4 am
It's morning although daylight has not broken the horizon and raised her head to wake up the world. I hear the snuffles and rootles of your rising, my ears completely in tune to your every movement no matter how silent, and they pull back the veil of sleep from my eyes. I awake from my dreams to this new one - you need me. I marvel at how beautiful that is, how loved and blessed I am by your dependance, and how it is also so exhausting in its completeness.

Mom and Dad, why are you going to work?
Mom and Dad, why do you have to work? Perhaps every child has asked this question. If it were you, how would you answer? Perhaps most of you would say: Mom and Dad go to work to earn money, and only after earning money can we buy you good things to eat, toys to play with, and beautiful clothes to wear. But this way is only to obtain the economic basis and the reason for making a living, neither adequate nor shallow.

Why do you have to let your child learn a special skill?
Children grow up practicing various musical instruments, painting, or dancing, but not many of them can really stick to it, and most of them give up halfway. This is the problem of the adults, not the children. Because the adults are not clear from the mind, in the end, why should the child learn the same specialty, the purpose is to train the child what ability.

Visionary parents, leave these three things to their children
I had discussed with people about parents buying houses for their children, and I was quite puzzled, why some parents stayed up all their lives just to give their sons a house to marry their wives? They take the money to live a good life is not more fragrant?
