There’s this morning moment I think every working parent recognizes. When the predawn glow of her phone screen mixes with the first chirp of a child’s monitor. She’s checking work emails while packing lunches, but pauses when the watch buzzes – ‘Elevated Stress Levels Detected.’ Only then do we both hear the footsteps jumping down […]

We’ve all seen it—the glow of the tablet illuminating their rapt faces as they ask Gemini for homework help. Watched them confide secrets to a digital ‘friend’ that always responds just right. Felt that parental shiver when their smart teddy bear giggles back a little too knowingly. This isn’t sci-fi anymore. It’s Tuesday evening. And

We locked eyes—then burst out laughing. In that moment, our quest for a perfect study tool vanished, replaced

Lately I’ve noticed how you linger at bedtime, thumbing through school notebooks while the baby monitor crackles beside us. That quiet question we’ve both wondered lately—‘what world will they step into?’—hangs in the air like unfinished homework. Researchers say half their future jobs haven’t been invented, yet seeing that patience when our little one asks

It was the way your fingertips absently traced tomorrow’s to-do list on your jeans while helping with tonight’s math homework that caught me—that constant mental math we all do as parents always running beneath the surface. You know what I noticed? That quiet calculation of meal plans and meltdowns, school forms and emotional bandwidth, all

There’s a certain light that hits different at 10:37 PM – the glow of her laptop screen reflecting in tired eyes while she proofreads tomorrow’s presentation.
