To every mum reading this at 3 a.m. with a baby in her arms 🤍

This week the world celebrates breastfeeding, the antibodies, the comfort, the quiet closeness that no one else can give. And it deserves every moment of attention and recognition.

We also want to acknowledge, every mum is working hard to raise her child right. Whether you're struggling to breastfeed and are exhausted, or you're feeding with ease but haven't slept properly in months it's the same journey, the same love and the same care!

Breastfeeding can be challenging even during the best of times and Mum guilt is also hard for the ones who had to bottle feed for whatever reason life presents.

Calling on all book lovers 📚✨

We want to know: what is your child’s favourite book right now?

Instagram now lets you share photos in the comments, so drop a picture below of the book your little one asks for again and again. 👇

Maybe it’s the bedtime favourite, the one with the funny voices, the story that makes them giggle, or the book you know by heart because you’ve read it 100 times.

We’ll go first. 💛

Let’s build a little bookshelf of recommendations from our community and help more families discover stories their children will love.

Tag your favourite authors, illustrators and parents who always have the best book recommendations.

‎نداء لجميع عشاق الكتب 📚✨

‎نريد أن نعرف: ما هو الكتاب المفضل لطفلك الآن؟

‎الآن يتيح لك إنستغرام مشاركة الصور في التعليقات، لذا ضع صورة أدناه للكتاب الذي يطلبه طفلك مرارًا وتكرارًا. 👇

‎ربما هو الكتاب المفضل قبل النوم، ذلك الذي يحتوي على الأصوات المضحكة، القصة التي تجعلهم يضحكون، أو الكتاب الذي تعرفه عن ظهر قلب لأنك قرأته 100 مرة.

‎سنذهب أولاً. 💛

‎دعونا نبني رف كتب صغير من التوصيات من مجتمعنا ونساعد المزيد من العائلات على اكتشاف القصص التي سيحبها أطفالهم.

‎قم بوسم كتّابك المفضلين، والرسامين، والآباء الذين دائمًا ما يقدمون أفضل توصيات الكتب.

When your baby babbles at you, they are not just making noise. This is the start of a conversation and they are waiting for you to respond.

Harvard researchers call this Serve and Return and it is one of the most important interactions for your baby’s developing brain.

Here’s how it works in real life:

Baby smiles at you, you smile back. Serve. Return.
Baby babbles, you babble back. Serve. Return.
Baby points at the dog, you look, name it and react. Serve. Return.

Each of those exchanges fires and strengthens neural connections in their brain. The connections being built are the ones that underpin language development, emotional regulation and the ability to form healthy, secure relationships throughout their life.

According to the Harvard Center on the Developing Child, the quality of this back and forth in the early years is one of the strongest predictors of a child’s long-term cognitive and emotional wellbeing.

You do not need a script. You do not need any particular toy or tool. You just need to respond when they reach out and you can start this simple interaction today!

‎خدمة وعودة!

‎عندما يثرثر طفلك إليك، فهم لا يصدرون مجرد ضوضاء. هذه هي بداية المحادثة وهم ينتظرون منك الرد.

‎يسمي باحثو جامعة هارفارد هذا التفاعل “التقديم والاستجابة” وهو أحد أهم التفاعلات لدماغ طفلك النامي.

‎إليك كيف يعمل في الحياة الواقعية:

‎الطفل يبتسم لك، تبتسم له بالمقابل. قدّم. ارجع.
‎الطفل يت babbles، وأنت تت babble back. قدّم. ارجع.
‎الطفل يشير إلى الكلب، تنظر، تسميه وترد. قدّم. عودة.

‎كل من تلك التبادلات يشعل ويقوي الاتصالات العصبية في دماغهم. الاتصالات التي يتم بناؤها هي تلك التي تدعم تطوير اللغة، وتنظيم العواطف، والقدرة على تكوين علاقات صحية وآمنة طوال حي

Hot take:
Do you hear your child saying, “I’m bored”? This is not a parenting emergency. 😅

It might be the start of your child’s next big idea.
A cardboard box becomes a rocket.
A blanket becomes a castle.
A few scraps of paper become a whole new world.

When children are given unstructured time, their brains get the chance to imagine, problem solve, make decisions and self direct. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, play supports healthy brain development and helps build executive function skills like focus, emotional regulation and flexible thinking.

So next time your child says, “I’m bored,” don’t feel pressured to give into screen time or make a full entertainment plan.

Try this instead:
“That’s great! What are you going to do about it?”

Boredom is not wasted or empty time.
It’s where your child’s independent creativity sneaks in. ✨

Save this as a reminder for the summer school holidays! Have fun getting bored together!

‎رأي جريء:
‎هل تسمع طفلك يقول “أنا أشعر بالملل”؟ هذا ليس حالة طارئة في التربية. 😅

‎قد يكون هذا بداية الفكرة الكبيرة التالية لطفلك.

‎تصبح علبة كرتونية صاروخًا.
‎البطانية تصبح قلعة.
‎بضع قصاصات من الورق تتحول إلى عالم جديد تمامًا.

‎عندما يُمنح الأطفال وقتًا غير منظم، تتاح لأدمغتهم الفرصة للتخيل، وحل المشكلات، واتخاذ القرارات، وتوجيه الذات. وفقًا للأكاديمية الأمريكية لطب الأطفال، فإن اللعب يدعم نمو الدماغ الصحي ويساعد في بناء مهارات الوظائف التنفيذية مثل التركيز، وتنظيم العواطف، والتحكم في الاندفاع، والتفكير المرن.

‎لذا في المرة القادمة التي يقول فيها طفلك، “أنا أشعر بالملل”، لا تندفع لتقديم وقت الشاشة أو تشعر بالضغط لوضع خطة مليئة بالترفيه لهم.

‎جرب هذا بدلاً من ذلك:
‎”هذا رائع!” ماذا ستفعل حيال ذلك؟ لماذا لا تجد شيئًا ممتعًا لتفعله في المنزل أو الحديقة؟

‎الملل ليس وقتًا ضائعًا أو فارغًا.
‎إنه المكان الذي تتسلل فيه إبداع طفلك المستقل. ✨

One day, your child will have a voice inside their head.
The question is: whose voice will it be?
The one that criticised, dismissed and shamed?
Or the one that listened, encouraged and made them feel safe?
Conscious parenting isn’t about being perfect. It’s about recognising the patterns we inherited and choosing which ones end with us.
Every pause instead of a reaction.
Every conversation instead of a punishment.
Every moment of connection instead of control.
It’s time to breaks the chain, the legacy starts with you. 💛
Tag a parent who’s working hard and trying to raise their children differently.

‎في يوم من الأيام، سيكون لدى طفلك صوت داخل رأسه.
‎السؤال هو: صوت من سيكون؟
‎الذي انتقد، ورفض، وأحبط؟
‎أو الذي استمع، وشجع وجعلهم يشعرون بالأمان؟
‎التربية الواعية ليست عن الكمال. يتعلق الأمر بالتعرف على الأنماط التي ورثناها واختيار أيها تنتهي معنا.
‎كل توقف بدلاً من رد فعل.
‎كل محادثة بدلاً من العقاب.
‎كل لحظة من الاتصال بدلاً من السيطرة.
‎حان الوقت لكسر السلسلة، الإرث يبدأ بك. 💛
‎أشر إلى أحد الوالدين الذين يعملون بجد ويحاولون تربية أطفالهم بطريقة مختلفة.
