In school, we are given formulas that can help us solve mathematical problems. We get access to textbooks that contain information about various concepts. Life, however, is much more complex. We can gain knowledge from a range of sources on how to raise children and be good parents, but ultimately, everyone's parenting styles will differ. Perfection in parenting is a myth, yet there are some that still find it in themselves to publicly point out someone else's errors in child rearing -- and moms are frequent targets.

Many parents wish that time will stop and they can keep their little ones as they are. However, days continue to turn to months, and months to years, with the once little angels growing into highly curious adolescents. Puberty is a monumental time for children, a period where they undergo physical, mental, and emotional transformations in their journey to becoming full-fledged adults. Before they reach the finish line, though, kids would need a whole lot of reassurance and support from their moms and dads.

As the effects of the global pandemic continue to be felt around the world, the word "isolation" has come to mean "safety" for people. Staying apart is no longer a result of one's choices, but a mandate to stop the spread of a virus that has already claimed the lives of many. While quarantining at home may have preserved the well-being of many individuals, they are also becoming prone to a mental and emotional strain from being in their own little worlds.

Life gives families countless opportunities to make beautiful memories together.

Journaling is a classic practice that has transcended time, and modern research reveals that not only does it keep records of a family's past alive, but it also does wonders for the body.

Technology has been lauded for making life more convenient, but as it is with everything, it has its own downsides. A study from Pew Research Center reveals that two-thirds of parents in the US feel that parenting is more challenging in recent times than it was two decades ago. Social media and smartphones may be seen as tools that bridge communication gaps, but parents are getting more anxious that these are causing children to be more "detached." Kids spend too much time in front of screens watching videos, playing games, or interacting with others online that they forget to nurture their relationships at home.

There are good days and there are bad days. It is normal to get angry when things don't go as planned. Anger manifests in different ways, and for most adults, it is easier to manage as they are able to consciously process their thoughts and feelings. However, the same cannot be said when it comes to children. At a young age where they are only beginning to make sense of the world around them, they are more prone to throw tantrums and express their displeasure without thinking about the consequences of their actions.
