As a mother I want my child to write well at the early stage. Everyday is the struggle between me and my son while practicing writing. One day he says "Mom, I couldn't hold the pencil". Then I realised and start to find the several reasons why your child is having difficulty holding a pencil. There I found a common reason - Underdeveloped fine motor skills i.e. Holding a pencil requires coordination and strength in the small muscles of the hand and fingers.

To love with a love that is more than love..
I Remember laying there. My husband was on one hand, and the anesthesiologist was on the other. The room was full of nurses, and doctors fighting to save our lives. Fear filled my half of the room while urgency filled the other. In the midst of everything my mind was spinning a thousand miles an hour. Hoping that everything would be ok is an understatement.

Anyone who heard you ask me to be your Valentine knew I wasn’t actually being given a choice. It’s okay, though. I’m the best little man in your life! Your desire to show me commercial affection on the fourteenth of February is entirely understandable.

These Things I Remember
"These things I remember and I pour out soul within me...." So laments the psalmist in exile, yearning for the return of God's presence after a long, painful absence.
The silent struggle
In the delicate dance of parent-child relationships, communication serves as the backbone, providing a sturdy framework for understanding, growth, and emotional well-being. However, some parents, knowingly or unknowingly, choose a path of silence and malice over open dialogue when it comes to addressing their child's behavior. This preference for the silent treatment can have profound and detrimental effects on the child, leading to a toxic environment that fosters feelings of isolation, despair, and eventually, depression.
