The Old Banyan Tree
When Nadeem returned to his village after spending a long time of 30 years, his surprise knew no bounds. Instead of mud houses, there were brick huts, the village roads were paved, every house had gas and electricity connections, instead of bicycles, motorbikes and cars, and instead of bullocks used for farming, modern machinery… It was proven that his village had also developed with the passage of time.

How can children be protected from the negative effects of mobile and internet?
Today's era is the era of scientific progress. Many conveniences have been created due to the continuous development of science and new inventions and this scientific progress is only thanks to knowledge. Rather, it is a fact that man has achieved the honor of being the best of creations thanks to knowledge. Man has made new useful inventions thanks to his knowledge. Mobile phones and the internet are among the few important inventions of the modern era that have changed the course of human life.

The First Dream
The room was wrapped in hushed tones—soft as moonlight and warm as a lullaby. A nightlight pulsed faintly in the corner, casting golden halos on the crib rails. And there, bundled in a swaddle stitched with little stars, slept the newborn. Only three days into the world, she had yet to see the petals of a rose, the blue of a sky, or the shimmer of tears.

Where the creek still cries.
The whisper of Willow Creek There’s a sound you can only hear if you’ve ever had your heart broken. It’s not the rustle of the wind in the trees or the gurgle of running water. It’s something deeper. Something slower. A sorrow that echoes through the earth and dances in the air just above the surface of Willow Creek — where the water still remembers.

Discipline Without Harm
There’s a fine line every parent walks — between raising kind, responsible children and maintaining their trust in us. We want our children to behave. To respect the rules. To clean up after themselves. To apologize when they’ve hurt someone.

Zayden's Red Balloons
Zayden's Red Balloons My name is Zayden. I just turned three, and I love to climb. Dressers, couches, railings—anything I can get my feet on. Climbing makes me feel like Spider-Man. Maybe it's because up there, I feel noticed. Maybe it's the only time someone actually sees me.

The lion and the lamb
In the golden heart of a vast savannah, where the wind whispered secrets through tall grass and the sun watched with an ever-watchful eye, there lived a lion named Baran. His mane was dark as midnight, and his roar rolled over the plains like distant thunder. All animals feared him—not just because he was a hunter, but because he was alone, proud, and fierce.

Playground Static
The playground that stopped our joy. It still stands there, nestled between the crumbling school fence and the old maple trees. The same swing set, its chains slightly rusted. The monkey bars, chipped but deflated. The sandbox, half-filled, as if someone had intended to go back.
