Coherent Parenting

Back in 2019, I met Linda Sarsour for the first time! I attended one of her workshops where she rallied the crowd to stand up against racism, call out our politicians and be "unapologetically Muslim".
6 years ago me, was careful and cautious. Didn't ruffle too many feathers and tried to keep everyone happy.

Watching this woman, who is a mother, being so loud and proud of her activism was not only inspiring but also made me self-reflect on how I navigate my beliefs around our political situations. And what kind of example I want to set for my children.

She has gotten so much hate and vile messages. There is a group of trolls after her. But this woman is unflinching and unapologetically herself!!

I am still not as loud. I am still very cautious. But I am a little more brave because of and voices like hers. I am more hopeful because of people like her. And I pray for her and her family's safety because of the kind of work she does.

Her strength is even more commendable because she doesn't speak for one kind of people only. Her stance is justice for all those who are victims of discrimination and hate crimes.

Currently reading. Written by a war hero from Sebrenica genocide of July 1995.
July 11th-22nd is the 30th anniversary of this genocide and world has not forgotten the atrocious war on innocent civilians.
The heart wrenching details of the war and courage of the people during that time makes me both sad and hopeful.
While visiting Bosnia and hearing all the stories of the war, I kept thinking how humans can subject humans to such cruelty.
And I couldn't help draw parallels to what has been happening to Palestinians today. We are all witnesses to their suffering - and we will be answerable for why we kept quiet and did nothing!!

The sunrise isn’t an instant explosion of light;

it’s a gradual process of the sun illuminating the sky.

Similarly, self-discovery is often a journey that unfolds over time, with gradual insights and moments of clarity.

It reminds us that embracing uncertainty and trusting the process is important, just like waiting for the sunrise with patience.

We parents, let’s embrace the slow, meaningful growth journey for ourselves and our children.

End-of-school chaos is _real_—but it doesn’t have to take over your peace.

A little planning, a lot of teamwork, and just enough flexibility can go a long way. 💛

Here’s why time management matters _more than ever_ right now. 👇

💛 Kindness and Empathy

Two values shape how our children see the world — and the people in it.

‌

Children notice differences early — in how others talk, move, behave, or learn.

But what they _think_ about those differences?
That’s something we teach.

Here’s how to guide them with empathy.

When we teach our kids that differences aren’t weird — they’re _wonderful_ — we raise kind, confident, and inclusive humans.

‌

Here’s how you can help your child practice inclusion in everyday spaces:

‌

1️⃣ Talk about differences positively and often
2️⃣ Model inclusive behavior yourself
3️⃣ Encourage them to ask questions with kindness, not assumptions
4️⃣ Choose books and shows with diverse characters
5️⃣ Celebrate kindness just as much as achievement
6️⃣ Invite and include kids who might feel left out

‌

💬 _Inclusivity is a mindset. It grows when we nurture it at home._

🌍 Whether your child is at school, the park, a party, or anywhere else — remind them:

🧩 _“Everyone deserves to belong.”_
