We are looking forward to starting and completing our chosen course this fall semester. Child Development course is a theoretical, academically oriented course focusing on the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of the child from conception through adolescence. As parents ourselves and assisting and giving support to other children, we are excited to learn and  explore the influences of family, peers, and social institutions on the child's development.  We know that connecting the dots between what we learn and what we do takes creativity and even stepping outside our comfort zone.Our most favorite part is searching for daily opportunities at home and at work to apply what we learn.

Image
Being a mom is crazy busy!  It's a mix of messy diapers, sleepless nights, and so much love it's overwhelming. You're always juggling a million things, feeling like you're running on empty.

More Than Just a Dad: What It Really Takes

Image
Okay, let's get real. Anyone can have kids, right? But being a dad? That's a whole different ballgame. As a mom, I've seen firsthand what it takes to be a great father, and let me tell you, it's so much more than just biology. It's Not Just About the Genes   Making a baby is just the starting point. Being a father starts when you step up and take responsibility.  It's about:   - Being Present : Like, really present. Not just physically, but emotionally too. Putting down the phone, turning off the game, and actually engaging with your kids. It's about being there for the good, the bad, and the messy. - Keeping Them Safe : Making sure they're okay, both in their bodies and in their heads. Teaching them how to navigate the world and protecting them when they can't. It's about being their rock. - Providing the Basics : Food, clothes, a roof over their heads. But also, giving them opportunities to learn and grow. It...

Stop Counting the Minutes, Start Cherishing the Moments: A Parent's Guide

Image
We've all been there – juggling work, household chores, social commitments, and the ever-present demands of modern life. In the midst of this chaos, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of time our children seem to require. "I just need a break!" we sometimes think, or even say. But what if the very thing we perceive as a burden is actually the greatest gift we'll ever receive?   I recently came across a quote that struck me to my core: " You will never look back on life and think, 'I've spent too much time with my kids.'" Let that sink in for a moment.   The Days Are Long, But the Years Are Short   It's a cliché because it's true. The days with young children can feel incredibly long. The constant needs, the endless questions, the sheer exhaustion – it can all feel like a never-ending marathon. But as any parent of older children will tell you, those years fly by in the blink of an eye. One minute you're...

Remembering Tad R. Callister's Impact and Honoring His Passing

Image
As a Sunday School teacher, I have always sought inspiration from leaders within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Having served in various wards teaching adult classes,, including Tarlac 3rd Ward (Tarlac Philippines Stake), University Ward (Baguio Philippines Stake), and Riverbend Ward (Calgary Alberta Bow River Stake), I've always sought inspiration and guidance from church leaders. One name that consistently resonated with me, and with countless others worldwide, is Tad R. Callister. I always looked forward to watching the Sunday School training sessions for teachers during his time. His service as the General President of the Sunday School (2014-2019) left an indelible mark, and his teachings continue to influence my approach to gospel learning and teaching. With a heavy heart, we mourn his passing yesterday at the age of 79, but we also celebrate a life dedicated to service and unwavering faith.   Tad R. Callister's service as the General Presid...

Drawing Closer to the House of the Lord

Image
  In the ever-expanding landscape of temples around the world, the message is clear: temple blessings are not just reserved for a select few, but are meant to be accessible to all who seek them. As the Lord, through His living prophet, continues to bring more houses of the Lord closer in more places, the opportunity to partake of temple blessings becomes increasingly available to everyone.    Temple blessings are not merely symbolic in nature; they hold profound significance in our eternity. Through sacred ordinances and covenants made in the temple, we establish a direct connection to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. These ordinances provide us with an eternal perspective on mortality, reminding us of our divine heritage and purpose on this earth. One of the most beautiful aspects of temple worship is the opportunity to perform sacred ordinances on behalf of our ancestors. As we participate in this sacred work, we follow the pattern of savior...
