Modern Motherhood & Parenting in Real Life: Journal with Small Moments
My son Rudrakksh amazes us everyday with his words and actions! This journal captures those beautiful moments. Feb 2026 (he’s only two years old) When we said “Fruit is cold,” let’s eat later. Rudrakksh said, “Jiji ge haakana” (put it in water to normalise the temperature). It reminded me how children don’t complain; they instinctively look for solutions. Adults, we overthink. Children simply adapt. :)
