    Parenting Evolution Unveiled: Past Traditions vs Present Realities

    03/30 / 1 Comment

    Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how much parenting has evolved over the years. As a mom at 49, I can’t help but compare my own childhood to the way I’ve raised my son. The world is a different place now—technology, societal expectations, and even the way we interact as families have shifted drastically. Some changes have been for the better, while others make me long for the simplicity of the past. The Role of Moms: Career vs. Staying at Home My mom was able to stay home with me while running a small Avon business on the side. It was a different era—one where many women stayed home to raise…

    Should You Teach Your Children About Mistakes You’ve Made?

    03/25 / No Comments

    It’s very easy for parental or self-help blogs and books to imply the world will be fixed if only you follow a set routine and process. But of course, life is often very messy. This is something we learn as we get older if our parents appropriately shielded us from some of the chaos of life, but sometimes, children learn it early. It’s not always an easy lesson to cope with.   Pexels – CC0 License     Understanding when to tell your children about the tougher aspects of life can be a hard decision to make.

    How To Help Your Senior Relatives Stay Social

    03/13 / No Comments

    Many older people struggle with depression as a result of loneliness. This is because staying social can often become more difficult as you get older. Many older people end up living alone after the kids have moved out or a spouse dies. Declining health can lead to mobility issues and inability to partake in certain activities – which can reduce independence and further lead to social isolation. Some older people even become housebound because going outdoors is too strenuous.  It is important for us to keep in contact with our older relatives to stop them from getting lonely. Of course, there is more that we can do to help them…

    The Benefits of Music and Movement in Early Childhood Development

    03/12 / No Comments

    Childhood is all about movement, curiosity, and an unstoppable urge to get active. From a toddler dancing to a tune to a preschooler tapping out a beat on a toy drum, children are irresistibly drawn to rhythm and movement. But it’s not merely a fun way to pass the time—it actually impacts a child’s development in ways parents may not even realize.   Source: https://www.pexels.com/photo/kids-exercising-in-school-8422104/ How Music and Movement Work Together Music and movement are not merely a matter of noise-making and energy-burning. When a child is clapping to a rhythm, swaying to a tune, or marching around a circle, their brain is doing some behind-the-scenes processing. They’re building timing,…
