"Parenting is not about creating rigid schedules or perfect days; it's about building rhythms that embrace your child’s curiosity, nurturing their heart and mind through gentle guidance and meaningful connection. Each moment becomes a lesson, not because we force it, but because we discover it together.”
Weekly themes : Animals, Nature, Prophets' Stories, etc (base it on child’s interests)
