Personal Development For Kids

Parenting is one wild ride, with sleepless nights, endless decisions, and constant second-guessing. One minute you’re trying to get your baby to nap; the next, you’re debating a curfew for your teen or wrestling with how much screen time is too much. Most of us are winging it half the time.

To speak of the 'maternal instinct' still elicits scorn or embarrassment from some feminists, who continue to mock 'holy motherhood'.
