I am a single parent of a teenage daughter. I have been divorced since 2019 and single since 2017. I restarted my career at the age of 40 when I separated. I moved with my 10 year old kiddo to a new city with new lifestyle. Life was tough but with proper support and determination, I could turn around my life. I am still work in progress and healing from what I went through. So, I want to open this forum for all single women who need support, love and a space of non-judgmental sharing. Let us build a community of understanding and togetherness. YOU ARE NOT ALONE ANYMORE(YANAA) Cheers, Sandhyaa S Pillai

It must be a tough time for you. It is not easy to watch our own children go through self- sabotage. I am authorised to talk about addiction. pls consult a therapist, counsellor or de-addiction expert to help your son. these services are not biased for single parents. the rootcause could be different but they treat us all equally.

السلام عليكم يا يا اخوات و امهات انا قابلت حد علي برنامج هاتفي اسمه muzz البرنامج ده للناس اللي بتدور علي شريك لحياتها. بعد فطرة كلمت حد بره الاب دا و قالي ان كل الولاد اللي عليه كذبين او مش عندهم ثقافت الزواج لاكن هما بيستخدموا الاب دا عشان يسطاده بنات. لاكن انا لاحظت ان في شباب بتسال علي تفاصيل و مش بتطلب الارتبات. و حاليا انا بقالي اسبوع بتكلم مع واحد بييحب الصفر زيي. المهم اني اعرف من الكلام معاه حجات كتير عنه. و طلب صورتي بعد م شافها علي الاب و بعت واحدة في عباية. و هو بعتلي ٣ صور لي. قال انه بييصلي و هو اصلا بيحسسني انه جد، انا عارفة ان دا متواقع بالنسبا لناس كتير بس انا بشتاق للكلام مع حد او اني اسمع حد و هو الوحيد اللي بيراسلني او بيكلمني من غير غضب او كراهية كراهية. الموضوع اللي بسال فيه هو اللي انا بعمله دا في مصلحتي؟ حرام علية ان ادور علي حد بالمواصفات اللي انا عيزاها؟ انا كنت واخدة الموضوع جد. بس انا برده مش بثق كويس في حد. اللي حسيته من كلامي معاه انه بيكلمني علي اني طيبة، بس مش في نفس الوقت بيحترم حدودي. انا عقلي بيخوفني من الناس و كل ما اراجع نفسي مش بحس ان هو اتخطي حد مديتهولوش. انا هكون صريحة هو بيعاكسني شوية و انا برد بي هزار و كلمته فالموضوع و اتفقنا ان نيتنا هزار عيال، حتي لو كان ايه. فا هو اتفق و بصراحة مش عارفة ابطل كلام او احط حدود في مكانها احسن من كدا. حتي بحس اني مش واثقة من نفسي. اللي ممكن يكلمني فالموضوع دا و يتناقش معايا او يساعدني افكر ازاي ان اخت او ام بجد انا مش قايلة عليه لحد. الحمد لله انا حسة ان الدنيا ماشية بي حدود و لسة بنتعرف علي بعد حبة حبة بس بنتكلم كل يوم...اللي هو زي ما هو قال احنا مش مشيين مع بعد بس أكتر من صحاب. ممكن اي اسالة ارد عادي انا اقضل اني اتعامل صح. انا مش عايزة اخصر احترامي قصاد نفسي بجد بس شخصيتي مش قوية ولا عندي خبرة فالمشي مع الولاد. انا بس ديرت التعامع الناس اللي اعرفهم فعلا اصغر و بتقل و حسيت ان الاب ممكن يجيب جدوي و دخلت بنية ان الاقي حد جاد عايز يدخل البيت من بابه. الولد مش طالب مني حاجة بس انا معرفش عنه اي حجات اساسية. عرفت اسمه الثناءي امبارح بس و ادهولي و هو مش متطمن. معرفش هو بيفقر بقلق زيي ولا لا. لاكن هو مش بيطلب مني اي حاجة و كمان عايز يخرج يتكلم معايا و نشرب قهوة. قاللي في عرابيته بس. اعمل ايه؟

See AllI am a mother and an educator in charter schools and ABC Youth Foundation. I host several podcast it's a huge passion of mine and I also produce I strongly feel that empathy is the glue of humanity and without it what do we have for understanding one another and being kind toward one another is what keeps Us human it's what makes it work and without it what can possibly get better you must hold on to that and remember and show it where it's needed so that people can know what it is and be able to show that same to others connecting and growing with others is within the foundations of empathy that's how the world gets better so we can understand we don't have to directly know one another we must be that change and it starts with us, we must be the change we want to see!more

Nutrition is a corner stone for the child's physical, mental and emotional growth & development. It is crucial for the proper development of the different cognitive functions of the brain and the child's intelligence & IQ. To build a healthy long productive life, you must start early even before the child is born as the first 1000 days are crucial. It is important that the child eats all the needed food groups on a daily basis together with limiting and avoiding all those junk fast food that are eaten frequently nowadays. Understanding all different aspects of healthy eating will help parents and child caregivers make better choices for their children. When children have healthy relations with food, they can easily reduce their prevalence of many behavioral disorders and chronic diseases. التغذية هي حجر الزاوية لنمو الطفل وتطوره الجسدي والعقلي والعاطفي. وهى أمر بالغ الأهمية للتطور السليم للوظائف المعرفية المختلفة للدماغ وذكاء الطفل ومعدل الذكاء. لبناء حياة صحية طويلة ومنتجة، يجب أن تبدأ مبكراً حتى قبل ولادة الطفل لأن أول 1000 يوم تعتبر حاسمة. من المهم أن يتناول الطفل كافة المجموعات الغذائية التي يحتاجها بشكل يومي مع الحد من الوجبات السريعة التي يتم تناولها بشكل متكرر في هذه الأيام وتجنبها. إن فهم جميع الجوانب المختلفة للأكل الصحي سيساعد الآباء ومقدمي رعاية الأطفال على اتخاذ خيارات أفضل لأطفالهم. عندما يتمتع الأطفال بعلاقات صحية مع الطعام، يمكنهم بسهولة تقليل انتشار العديد من الاضطرابات السلوكية والأمراض المزمنة لديهم.more
