Children: Our most valuable natural resource.

MOM
It returned with a smile full of satisfaction, a face as happy as spring coming to life. In its hand was the photo of its new idol that had been autographed at the last concert. It was eleven o'clock at night, the lights were still on. The pungent smell of smoke in the kitchen filled the house, making it stifling and uncomfortable. The figure of its mother was still busy, busily cooking sticky rice to prepare for tomorrow's market sale. It happily walked in, holding the photo in its hand and kissing it repeatedly! Innocently showing it off to its mother with a carefree laugh.

Why People Are Addicted to Coloring Pages or Coloring Books:
Coloring is no longer just for kids. Grown-ups all over the globe are picking up coloured pencils, markers, and gel pens, spending hours colouring in intricate mandalas, cozy scenes, or mythical animals. Bookstores have entire sections of adult colouring books, and they flood social media with gorgeously finished pages. But why are colouring activities so addictive?

The Backbone of Home: A Man Who Holds It All Together. AI-Generated.
In a small, quiet town, lived a man named Arman. To the outside world, he seemed like an ordinary middle-aged man, always dressed in simple clothes, walking to work each morning with a calm demeanor. But behind the calm, Arman carried the weight of his entire family on his shoulders. His days began before sunrise and ended long after the moon rose high in the sky, filled with endless responsibilities that most people never noticed.

How Everyday Moments Shape Our Kids’ Manners and Behavior
Parenting isn’t about grand speeches or strict rules. It’s built quietly, moment by moment, in the way we talk, react, and live every day. Whether we realize it or not, children are always watching. They learn more from what we do than from what we say. Our everyday actions—the tone of our voice, how we handle frustration, how we treat others—become the blueprint for their manners and behavior.

The Day I Thought I’d Lose My Baby—And Found Hope Instead
I was 25 weeks pregnant when I went back for another anomaly scan. At 18 weeks, the first scan had flagged two soft markers: a smaller-than-normal skull size and a white spot on the baby’s heart. The doctors said it needed a follow-up at 25 weeks, so there I was, heart pounding, lying on that cold table again. The first time, the technician was quiet, moving the wand over my belly. When the doctor came in, he said, “The heart spot’s shrunk since 18 weeks and should fade by 33 weeks.” Relief hit me—until he added, “But the skull size is still two weeks behind the baby’s biometric age.” My stomach dropped. That word—“behind”—echoed in my head like a warning siren.

FAFO Parenting
There is no one-size-fits-all guide to parenting, and new terms and methods seem to pop up out of thin air these days. FAFO parenting has recently become a popular topic. But what does it actually mean? Is it only a catchphrase, or is it a tool with actual benefits (and drawbacks)?

Sometimes, I suddenly feel the urge to call my mom to tell her something—without even thinking it through. I just want to say something and hear her response.

A Healthier Way to See Our Children
I remember the last time someone asked me to talk about one defect and one quality of my child. I felt somewhat sad in that moment. Sad because we are still discussing qualities and defects in a small child who is still forming, who doesn’t know themselves yet, just beginning to peek into society, just starting to smell the life ahead.
