parents

The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.

Unity, Love, and Growth
In a small town in Bangladesh, lived a family that represented the essence of love, unity, and togetherness. The family of Arif and Rahima, parents to three children, was bound not only by blood but by a deep connection to each other. Arif, a school teacher, and Rahima, a stay-at-home mom, were determined to instill strong values in their children—values that would help them grow into compassionate and responsible individuals.

A father's agony: The burden of unfulfilled dreams
A small kutcha hut built in the corner of the village, in front of which stood an old peepal tree, as if it had been watching the condition of this house for years. Raghuveer, sitting on the cot inside, had his eyes lost in emptiness. Memories of the past years were running in his wrinkled eyes like a movie. His wife Sumitra was sitting on a stool nearby, who would sometimes look into his eyes and sometimes stare at the fire of wood burning in the stove.

Motherhood Burnout
As a behavioral specialist and mom of four (including twins!), I’ve experienced the crushing exhaustion of motherhood burnout firsthand. My wake-up call hit in the car after school pickup. After asking my kids for the fifth time to please… just… stop fighting, I gripped the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white, fighting back tears and wondering who this rage-filled version of myself was. This wasn’t just a bad day. This wasn’t just being tired. This was something deeper.

The Whispering Willow Tree
The willow tree stood sentinel at the edge of the Thompson family's sprawling backyard, its long, graceful branches cascading down like a curtain of emerald green. It was an old tree, its trunk gnarled and weathered, its roots reaching deep into the earth, a silent witness to generations of Thompsons. For Emily and her younger brother, Sam, the willow tree was more than just a tree; it was their sanctuary, their confidante, their secret haven.

Sunday Morning Pancakes
The aroma of sizzling butter and sweet batter hung heavy in the air, a familiar and comforting scent that always heralded Sunday mornings in the Miller household. Sunlight streamed through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow on the scene: Mrs. Miller, her hair pulled back in a loose bun, stood at the stove, her spatula dancing across the griddle. Beside her, Mr. Miller, his sleeves rolled up, poured glasses of fresh orange juice, the clinking of ice a cheerful counterpoint to the gentle hiss of the pancakes.
