The much awaited day finally arrives when a teeny tiny baby is born. In another part of the world, there is an air of excitement that surrounds a couple who are anxiously waiting to welcome the child of their dreams into their family.

Just like motherhood or childhood, the phenomenon of parenting is rather unique and exclusive for both, the child as well as the parents.

The phrase “risk-taking,” more often than not, tends to have a negative connotation attached to it. It signals the probability of experiencing harm or danger, or risk which involves failure for the individual.

The concept of family conceived through the first humans Adam and Hawaa, peace be upon them, and through them emerged the rest of mankind. The Quran mentions:

Published in 1999 and co-authored by Pat Schwiebert and Chuck DeKlyen, Tear Soup contains a remarkable recipe for healing after loss - for children aged 8 and above, as well as adults.

"They say that matter is all things that make up the universe … energy, stars, space ...

if that's the case, then you, dear child, matter."

How often is it that we find ourselves and our children to be wanting something out of a strong impulse or an urge, rather than there actually being a need for it in our lives?
