The proverb in Proverbs 13:20 emphasizes the influence of companionship. Choosing wise company leads to wisdom, while staying with fools brings harm.

Giving Nudges and Honoring Approximations

In this article, I describe attending a writing workshop for parents at Tala's school.

It also stresses the significance of honoring children's approximations and efforts. I urge parents to support and inspire each other in raising their children.
