Food isn’t just about what’s on the plate but also in how we share it, feel it, and remember it. As parents, we often find ourselves caught between wanting our children to eat healthy and not wanting mealtimes to turn into daily battles. We coax, we negotiate, sometimes even bribe, hoping they’ll take just one more bite of the vegetables sitting patiently on their plate.

Parenting often arrives in our lives like an uncharted journey, one that reshapes not only how we see our children, but also how we see ourselves. When I first stepped into fatherhood, I believed the path would be about guiding, teaching, and preparing my child for the world. But over time, I began to notice something unexpected: my children were teaching me just as much, if not more, than I was teaching them. Parenting became less about instruction and more about reflection.

As parents, we all want to instill good hygiene habits in our children, but let’s be honest—getting kids to embrace cleanliness without resistance can feel like an uphill battle.

Peer pressure is something we all experience at different points in life, especially during childhood and adolescence. As someone who grew up in an unschooling environment, I’ve seen firsthand how external influences can shape a child’s self-perception and choices. But I’ve also learned that playfulness—staying curious, creative, and true to oneself can be a powerful tool in resisting negative peer pressure.

If you've ever come across the term "unschooling," you might have had a lot of questions swirling in your head. For many, the word itself can conjure up some pretty wild ideas—a lack of structure, no real learning, and maybe even a sense of chaos.

Imagine a world without music. No melodies humming in the background, no beats to tap your feet to, no songs to sing along to. Feels empty, right? Now, picture childhood without music—no lullabies before bed, no silly songs to giggle over, no spontaneous dance breaks in the living room. Feels almost… unnatural.

As parents, we often find ourselves navigating a complex web of emotions, both our own and our children's. Today, let's talk about something deeply significant—the emotional journey of fatherhood. It’s easy to focus on providing for our families in practical ways, but what about the less tangible, yet equally vital, aspect of expressing love openly?

Are you a parent navigating the beautiful, often messy, journey of raising children? Do you ever feel like you're constantly searching for a "how-to" guide that simply doesn't exist? In a world overflowing with conflicting advice, it's easy to get lost in the noise, questioning every parenting decision and wondering if you're truly doing enough. 

As parents, we often wonder how to best equip our sons for a world that constantly demands resilience, curiosity, and emotional strength. We want them to navigate challenges with courage, embrace learning, and truly believe in their own capabilities. This journey of nurturing a strong inner compass in boys can feel both incredibly rewarding and, at times, a little daunting.

There’s a universal law of parenting that nobody warns you about: the more you want your child to do something, the less likely they are to do it.Tell them to clean their room? Suddenly, they’ve lost all muscle function. Ask them to eat their vegetables? They act like you’ve poisoned their plate. Encourage them to try again after failing? Instant meltdown.

Hey there! If you've ever felt like there’s more to learning than textbooks and tests, you’re in the right place. I'm Ajeeb Ajanmya, and I'm what you might call an "unschooler." Growing up, my education looked very different from the traditional model. There were no rigid schedules, no strict curriculum—just a lot of exploration, curiosity, and the freedom to follow my own interests. And let me tell you, it was an incredible journey.

I was never forced to learn. No bells. No syllabus. No fear of red marks. And yet, I learned deeply. Honestly. Wildly. Because I wanted to. Because I was curious. Because I had space.

As parents, we all want to raise children who are kind, appreciative, and aware of the many blessings in their lives. But in today’s fast-paced world, where instant gratification is the norm, teaching kids about gratitude can feel like an uphill task. How do we encourage our children to develop a thankful mindset? The answer lies in something they naturally gravitate towards—play.

Have you ever noticed how quickly time seems to accelerate once you have children? One moment you're cradling a newborn, and the next, they're confidently leading you across the street. This journey of parenting is filled with countless precious moments, each fleeting yet deeply impactful. We often find ourselves clinging to the sweetness of past stages, perhaps feeling a touch of bittersweet nostalgia as our children grow and evolve.

For years, I chased an elusive ideal: the "Supermom." You know the one—the woman who effortlessly juggles a career, maintains a perfect home, never misses a school event, and always looks refreshed, even after a sleepless night. I believed that true success meant doing it all, seamlessly and without complaint.

Let’s break a myth right now: Meditation is not about turning your child into a Zen monk who sits still for hours. It’s not about “fixing” them, calming them down, or making them more “obedient.” And guess what? Meditation is not even about your child. It’s about you too.

In today’s digital world, screens often dominate our attention, making it more important than ever to carve out unplugged time for families. Unplugged family activities—those without electronic devices—offer numerous benefits that nurture joy, creativity, and connection.

How do we prepare our children for a world that’s constantly evolving? Imagine raising kids who are not only resilient and adaptable but also innovative and emotionally intelligent—ready to thrive in an unpredictable future.

The world children are growing up in today is changing faster than ever before. Advances in technology, shifting social norms, and global challenges require children to be adaptable—able to adjust to new situations, learn from experiences, and remain resilient amid uncertainty.

How can parents raise independent, confident children without losing control? Imagine creating a home where boundaries and freedom coexist, empowering children while keeping them grounded.
