The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
7 Smart Ways a Pediatrician guide families Through an Autism Diagnosis

Your Pediatrician becomes an essential guide, translating clinical details into practical decisions that make sense. A child’s developmental care moves into a more focused phase—where timing, coordination, and reliable support shape future progress. Families don’t need more confusion. They need direction and clear answers.

Between Silence and Spotlight: The Strange Extremes of Millennial Parenting
Recently, two TikTok videos went viral for wildly different—but oddly connected—reasons. In one, a young mother earnestly asks the internet: “Am I supposed to be talking to my 11-month-old? Like, daily?” She looks tired, confused, and genuinely uncertain. It’s the kind of question that makes you do a slow blink while the static of existential dread crackles faintly in the background.

Breaking the Cycle
Narrative Monday morning, I woke up reflecting on the events of the previous day and the difficult decision we’d made to forgo the birthday party. It struck me that the decision, while necessary, lacked the kind of objectivity that could make it defensible to both my child and myself. It’s no small thing to make a disciplinary decision without a clear, quantifiable standard—and it leaves you vulnerable to the endless second-guessing that erodes authority and trust.

Chalkboards at the Kitchen Table: Our Unexpected Journey into Homeschooling
I never thought I would be the kind of mom who homeschooled her kids. Before 2020, the word "homeschool" belonged to a different world—a world of Pinterest-perfect schedules, educational co-ops, and science experiments erupting in someone else's kitchen. My world was carpools, packed lunches, and cramming spelling tests on the way to school.

The Road Less Travelled
I’ve always loved a good road trip but my last one wasn’t at all that I expected. This road was unpredictable and not in the good ways a road trip should be. No stops at cute farmstands or antique/flea markets. No DQ runs just for the heck of it. In my opinion, there’s nothing better than a Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfait. Nope. None of that. Lots of dark tunnels where I couldn’t see my way through to the other side. I just had to trust the process and keep driving. It began when my daughter came to me with a deer in the headlights expression in her eyes and told me she needed to be moved out of her student housing by Friday evening. It was Thursday afternoon. Her college dorm room was 871 miles away from where we stood in our mango-colored kitchen, staring at each other blankly.

The Gift of Sacrifice: How My Father Taught Me the True Meaning of Eid
I was ten years old when I truly understood what Eid ul Adha meant. Before that, Eid was all about the fun parts—waking up to the smell of fresh bread, getting new clothes, counting crisp bills tucked into Eid envelopes, and, of course, watching my uncles skillfully prepare the Qurbani animals. I liked to call it the "festival of meat." The deeper meaning? It didn’t matter much to a child whose world was still small and safe.
