A Child's Big Heart

I believe that it doesn't need a certain age level or a huge bank account for any individual to do simple acts that could mean a lot.

Last year, of the same day today, JD asked me if we would allow him buy some knick - knacks for other kids in the neighborhood. 
Immediately after hearing our "Yes!", he called up his Lola Mommy in Maryland and solicited an amount for his kids' pantry. 

Without a second thought, his Lola Mommy deposited an amount, funding the li'l boy's initiative. 

It quickly knitted on my heart joy that until now I keep. Every time I see this photo when I happen to do some unintentional browsing, I call JD to thank him for the gift of being his mom...

His heart for other people heals some void in my childhood...it wasn't that I wasn't loved and cared for...that's totally a wrong notion...the void was more of wanting to help other kids in the best way I can but I had no means...I didn't know how I must come - up to that... right now JD has great number of supportive people backing - up his initiatives...and that means a lot.

The word "Thank you!" is more than enough... and when the recipient says "God bless you!"... that's exactly what heals more injustices in the community.

Parenting is no easy way. Every time, I feel that I need to be soaked in raining grace and yes, it's more than sufficient... with all the parenting struggles around, parents don't just simply fill-out coloring books with bright colors...parenting's a lot like that... we don't get to color our coloring books often with bright colors...sometimes the hue changes and sometimes too we don't feel like coloring... but whenever we see how great (despite our struggles) parenting's role is - seeing our kids turn into kind and loving beings... 

I believe that the pride and joy combined together settle in every parent's heart... and parenting becomes the most noble role we, parents, want to enjoy for as long as we live. 

"It makes me feel so good to see smiles on kids' faces" - JD says.

"I believe so, love!" (nyny)

Parenting is a Gifted Role

When you see your child growing, as a parent, you leverage your parenting in such a way that there will be more changed beliefs and attitudes on your part... and sometimes even when you feel hesitant to give up scolding, you still feel like doing so... then, after a minute... you find yourself charged with extra batteries of patience and begin to learn positive reinforcement, instead... you talk slower, gentler, kinder...and you see how your happy mood eventually changed your child's annoying behavior. Parenting has changed overtime...and I felt that... It's been changing me too since I realized there's a li'l boy needing a mom-friend, a mom-teacher in one. Every parent's guide to great parenting is no more than his/her own built-in abilities challenged to be re-built both in happy and annoying ways... We own our parenting and have different stories that test us through and through... no perfect ones... but I suppose all parents strive to becoming one...while we a

Unfolding Realities of Parenting

No parent is always conscious and gentle, positive and peaceful...at all times. ...and I understand it takes practice to be conscious and gentle, positive and peaceful at all times. Under all the conditioning, whether trauma or shame, social standard or other people's expectations, You are the parent you aspire to be. Never doubt yourself. Only accept the role and be grateful for being chosen to be part of your child's inward-out molding. No matter what the world says, claim your sovereignty as a parent. You are not alone in this journey. Don't get drained. Gods grace holds you. Whether you parent with a spouse or alone, God's grace holds you. #sidedishesofaparenting #positiveparenting #intentionalparenting

How do word puzzles impact your child's brain health?

People who enjoy solving word puzzles often claim that they're good for one's brain. Well, based on research, word puzzles, are not only fun to do but also good for our brains...because they help maintain the brain's cognitive function. Word puzzles serve as a form of exercise for our brains. Health research shares that word puzzles help improve one's short-term memory, as they reinforce connections between brain cells. Also, because word puzzles are fun to solve and answer, they enhance our mood. It happens when we experience success for solving challenging parts of the word puzzle activity. On that note, it is important to engage in word puzzles, as often as possible. So, the more often, the better. One thing to note is that the word puzzles should be challenging such as they also keep increasing the level of difficulty. And thus, word puzzles are among the homeschool activities we include for JD. He can spend hours doing word puzzles and he truly enjoys it. #hom
