#Perspective / How clothing can hurt our children
As parents or guardians of new-borns to 14-year-olds, it is our partial responsibility to ensure their safety and well-being. One aspect that often goes unnoticed is the clothes we choose to buy for them. While outside or local clothing options may seem convenient, they can pose certain dangers which are hardly taken seriously.
ESSAY / On the many flavours of horror in children’s literature
What do we make of the mysterious thread that connects these stories not by genre, but by an imagination so wondrous they leave room for an underlying horror, and the many things that can mean?
Embracing holistic early learning for a smooth educational transition

#Social Issues / Protigga Foundation's vision for a better Bangladesh
Protigga Foundation started its official journey in 2018, three years after the idea was first conceived. Their aim was simple — to help distressed people in disadvantaged positions and living in substandard conditions.

#Parenting / Old school manners children should know
It seems as if saying please and thank you does not even scratch the surface of “old-school” manners children should know and use that would set them ahead of their peers. Parents must constantly practice manners at home, and set a good example for them, as children are great at mimicking actions. However, it is also prudent that parents have age-appropriate expectations of their children because kids are only capable of learning and doing certain things at each stage of life, even if they do amaze you sometimes. Positive reinforcement often works better on little people than threats and rewards do.
