C hildren often struggle with deciding on a career path and may pursue a career they dislike. As a parent, your role is crucial in helping your child make an informed decision. Let's explore how you can do that, taking inspiration from Demola Allen's book, Adino's World . Spot Strength  It's important to know your child's strengths. You can observe them while playing, doing small tasks, watching TV, or talking to their friends and note what they do best. Don't forget to recognize and appreciate the efforts and actions that they do on a micro-level, like "you don't give up," "you are confident on stage," or "you organize your thoughts before speaking."  It's essential to identify the circumstances under which an individual performs best, whether it be working alone or in small or large groups. These preferences are cues to possible careers. For example, if your child is articulate and speaks confidently, they might be great j...

  The Palestinian national rights issue has dominated global diplomacy for decades, heavily influencing Middle Eastern politics and United Nations policies. However, Professor Abraham A. Sion's groundbreaking work, To Whom Was the Promised Land Promised? Some Fundamental Truths About the Arab-Israeli Conflict presents a powerful legal challenge to the claim of Palestinian national rights over Mandatory Palestine.  Drawing on historical documents and foundational legal agreements, he presents a provocative argument: Palestinian national claims lack a legitimate foundation under international law. This view calls for re-evaluating current assumptions and an informed discourse based on legal precedents rather than political trends. A Legal Perspective on National Claims Abraham Sion's scrutiny instigates an evaluation of the 20th-century treaties and declarations that formed the legal structure of the modern Middle East. He uses documents like the Balfour Declarat...

Engaging a child's imagination in a digitally-obsessed world is becoming increasingly challenging. But what if I told you there's a domain, a dimension, where those ideas are not just allowed but required? You should read about the adventures of a little boy named Adino, who dreams big. He has a rich imagination and an incredible ability to inspire your child to follow his dreams. Adino's Limitless Imagination Let's meet Adino, who has so many dreams that reality cannot catch up with him. No sooner is he an optometrist with his toys requiring eyeglasses with x-ray vision features. The next moment, he dreams of becoming a pilot, flying in the sky with his stuffed animal toys as the passengers.  He does not merely engage in make-believe but wants to put his passion to work and transform his room into the world he wants. When you seek things with Adino's eyes, a stack of pillows becomes a restaurant, and a pile of stuff on the table becomes an airplane's control pa...

  Forming a successful team requires careful planning and intentional effort.

  Adventures are not only synonymous with fun and thrill. Physical journeys, emotional experiences, or unexpected challenges all fall under this category, and they often test our morality and spirituality.  For Tessa, the protagonist of Kristena Prater and Salodius Byrd's "Tessa Eyes on the World," her challenges in Tonga go beyond adapting to a new culture.  Raised in a progressive, free-spirited family, Tessa holds values of individualism, environmental consciousness, and spiritual freedom. However, in Tonga, she finds herself in a society governed by strict customs, religious dogma, and gender roles that she struggles to accept. This cultural clash tests her beliefs about autonomy and equality. As an athlete, an explorer, and someone accustomed to outdoor adventures, she feels restricted when local customs prevent her from exploring the "bush" simply because she's a woman.  The Burden of Privilege and the Desire to Help Another significant challenge for T...
