Spotting and Nurturing Your Child’s Talent

by

Over the decade’s talents in children have come into focus, but new parents may have a hard time going about finding it and encouraging the same. Before dismissing your child as void of talent because they don’t do anything you deem special, some talents include critical thinking and listening.

Talking to Your Kin About Your Will

by

There is a glamorization that exists when we people talk about wills that are not entirely accurate. For most, if there was no mention of it within the family, the only other reference that existed was when they watched in the movies or television where the same brought about friction among family members.

Discussions about death are what remind us that our time on earth is limited and not everyone is comfortable enough to have that conversation with themselves or others for that matter. The conversations are often filled with tense emotions, especially when people have their opinion as to what the best course of action should be.
