Some people still believe teaching young children is a small job.
“They are too little to even remember,” they say.

But then, years later, a message comes.
“Falak, I miss you.”
“It’s been long, may I come visit you?”

A child you taught at little remembers you at nine or eleven.

Remembers the way you spoke to them.
The way you made them feel safe.

That is when you realise.
Early education is never a small job.

For me, my students are never just there for a few years.

They become a part of my life journey.
And I quietly stay in theirs.

This is the real reward of teaching.
Not marks. Not results.
But being remembered with love, years later.

Zoe told me about the cliques at school.
And she said, “I’m not part of any.”

Honestly, I felt relieved.

Because when teens reach this phase, it can get really ugly, this is what I told my daughter about friendship and school politics.

If you ever feel like you don’t belong somewhere, don’t chase that space.
Make yourself a little scarce.

The right people will always notice your absence.
Choose your friends based on who stood by you in tough times.
Not just the ones who laugh with you when life is easy.
And then make sure you stand by them too.

Also remember this.
Some of the people you call friends today will not even be in your life 5 or 10 years from now.
So never lose yourself trying to fit in.

Always choose kind.
But choosing kind does not mean staying quiet.
It does not mean becoming a people pleaser.
You can be kind and still have a strong voice.

These are the friendship lessons I want my teen to grow up with. What would you have chosen?

I found this really heartbreaking, both as a parent and educator.
Disclaimer: Zoe has studied Kannada, but this is about the attitude towards learning and the impact of a teacher.
Please watch the full reel before commenting.
We love Karnataka, where Zoe has spent her whole life, and appreciate the language. This is not about the language, but our personal experience.
Have you gone through something similar?

Zoe has never gone for coaching or tuitions.
And honestly, she hasn’t missed out.

And that's a decision we took as a family, me, my husband and Zoe.

She's a child who wants good grades and works to get them (no pressure from our side). When she got the honour roll this year, it was all Zoe's hardwork.

She’s learned to manage her time.
Take responsibility for her work.
Ask for help when she needs it.
And most importantly, trust herself.
Credit also goes to her Montessori education till grade 5, she doesn't work because she has to, but because she wants to.

And before anybody says anything, this doesnt mean coaching is wrong.

It just means it’s not the only way. What doesn't work and ALWAYS backfires is force.

What worked for us may not work for everyone.
But I truly believe children grow when we give them space to try, fail, and figure things out.

If you’re a parent who feels pressured to add more and more to note, this is your reminder:
More classes is not always more growth.

What’s your take on tuitions and coaching?

Do you think they are necessary or optional?

Let’s talk in the comments.

Save this if you needed to hear it today.

Share with a parent who’s feeling the pressure 🤍

Confident communication doesn’t come from being loud.
It grows from feeling safe, heard, and respected.
The way we respond in small moments shapes how our children use their voice. Calm tones. Gentle guidance. Real connection.
Every conversation is a chance to build confidence.
Not perfection. Just presence.
Save this for the days you need a reminder.
Share with a parent who is raising a brave voice. 🤍

When was the last time you laughed with your child, not corrected them?

Not teaching.
Not fixing.
Just being present.

Life gets busy and somewhere, play becomes “later.”
But connection grows in small, everyday moments.

Sit with them.
Laugh with them.
That’s what they remember.

We grew up being told that a “good child” is a quiet child.

A child who listens.
A child who doesn’t question.

But what we didn’t realise was this…
When a child is scared to speak at home, they don’t magically become confident outside.
They just learn to hide.

Children who feel safe will talk.
They will disagree.
They will tell you when something feels wrong.
That’s not disrespect.
That’s trust.

Let’s raise children who feel safe enough to speak, not scared enough to stay silent.
If this made you pause, save it and share it with another parent today.

If you were ignored as a child, this is how it might show in your adulthood:

○ You might feel responsible for other's happiness and end up growing into a people pleaser.

○ You are extremely independent, don't believe in delegating tasks & are unable to ask for help. In you ask for help/support you feel uncomfortable or unsafe. You learned early that relying on others didn’t work.

○ You might end up enduring mistreatment or abuse because you believe it is a form of love.

○ You cannot identify what emotions you are feeling in the moment.

○ You struggle with emotional and physical intimacy. You may feel something but struggle to explain what it is.

○ You shut yourself for love. You put others first to avoid rejection or conflict.

○ You’re present, but you often feel unseen or unheard.

○ You have low self esteem, you believe that you’re “not enough” or not important.

○ You have a problem setting boundaries, you say yes when you want to say no.

○ You seek validation, external praise feels more real than inner confidence.

If this resonated, pause and be gentle with yourself.
Awareness is not blame — it’s the first step toward healing.
Save this, share it with someone who needs it, or drop a 🤍 to remind yourself you’re not alone.

This is not a diagnosis.
These are patterns we often notice.
If this feels close to home, it doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you.

Being a better human and a kinder person has always been a challenge, but it's getting even tougher with each passing day.

Being kind to ourselves is just as important, yet we often overlook it.

In a world filled with judgments and trolls, let's choose kindness.

Would love to know your take.

I was ready to quit Instagram and close this account after six years and so much content.

Because I've been feeling... this account is not meant to grow. Yesterday, I posted a story saying that this would be my last post on this particular account. And for those who I make sense to through my posts, you can follow me on another account. I didn't realize it, but all this while Zoe was watching me.

And as soon as I was done, she started, "So you'll just let your efforts and hard work of six-plus years go down the drain? Just like that? You keep talking about failures and effort and how whenever we fall, we learn a lesson, blah... blah... blah! And those were just words? Sure, I was thinking that you are extremely strong, but I guess I was wrong."

It was only after that that I realized what example I was setting in front of Z. After that, quitting was not an option.

For me, yesterday was one of the biggest lessons I learned from my daughter, and as a parent I can proudly admit that she is a better teacher than I am.

When your teen’s friend doesn’t sit right with you… do you control or communicate?

We chose honesty over authority.
Shared our concerns.
Listened to her view.
And trusted her to be careful.

Parenting teens is less about putting our foot down, and more about staying connected.

Would you do the same? 💭
