Interesting findings. Ada research daripada McKinsey yg bgtahu pasal benda ni. Actually research dia untuk CPG, tapi aku rasa closely related dgn apa yg jadi untuk cafe & restaurant.
Dalam satu bahagian research McKinsey tu cerita tentang: Four Food Spending Shifts

Biasakan small talks dengan anak kita.
Dan jangan biarkan kalau anak ada benih-benih tak sopan dalam percakapan.
My daughter umur 5 tahun pun I dah tegur,
"Ibu tak suka cakap dengan ibu macamtu. Cakap semula elok-elok"
Suruh dia ulang cakap dengan sopan. Ajar anak kita hormat orang tua.
Jangan takut tegur anak. Anak kita takkan trauma dengan teguran sebab banyak parents cakap dia takut nak tegur anak..Takut trauma.
Sebab tu penting belajar parenting dari ilmu yang betul.
Tak jerit tapi tak juga cakap dengan nada lembut sangat.
Muka serius dengan tone tegas.
Pov beli barang dari seorang pharmacist. Banyak kali aku mention, nak sihat makan jela nasi. Benda2 mengarut macam cereal, granola etc tu permainan barat je. Nasi ni jauh lebih sihat especially beras yang ada low GI macam basmati tu
Can you imagine the international outrage if China or Russia threatened to kill a whole civilisation.
Where are the condemnations from all the western leaders?
After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.
Kenapa ketika baca surah al-Fatihah pada ayat yang kelima, إيّاكَ نَعْبُدُ (Hanya kepada-Mu kami sembah); kalimah إيّاكَ dibawa ke depan?
Kenapa bukan نَعْبُدُكَ (Kami sembah-Mu)?
Esok Hari Raya bila nampak orang pakai yang cantik dan baru, ucapkanlah Allahumma baarik ‘alayhi (untuk lelaki. ‘alayha untuk perempuan) - Ya Allah, turunkanlah keberkatan kepadanya.
“Apabila salah seorang daripada kamu melihat sesuatu daripada saudaranya, atau dirinya sendiri, atau hartanya yang mengagumkan, maka doakanlah keberkatan padanya. Sesungguhnya 'ain itu benar," Musnad Ahmad (No. 15700, disahihkan oleh Al-Albani).
Every time my sister’s baby woke at night, her husband got up, changed the diaper, and handed the baby to her to nurse.
It worked for them.
After my son was born, it became clear my husband was not built for middle-of-the-night duty. From 12–5:30 a.m., I was on my own.
But every morning he took the baby, let me sleep, and had hot coffee waiting when I woke up.
That worked for us.
There’s no one-size-fits-all in parenting, despite what 𝕏 discourse would have you believe.
You’re bored because you’re not doing side quests, man.
Life is more than just working and then throwing yourself into bed doing nothing.
Here are 50 side quests to complete:
No one tells you that parenting is just relearning the world through someone who thinks worms are friends & birds are miracles. It’s the most healing thing I’ve ever done. My daughter looked out the window this morning & said, everything is green & growing. I told her, you too. And something inside me whispered, so are you. Now I’m watching her hold flowers up to the sun while the light bends like it recognizes her. It’s funny, every spring I think I’m teaching my child about the world & every spring she proves she’s the one teaching me how to see it.
We are overstimulated and we don't even notice. Netflix while eating. Reels in the bathroom. Music while cooking. Podcasts on walks. We consume by default, not by intention. You keep filling every gap, then wonder why you feel foggy and unmotivated. Boredom and silence are the real growth drivers. They give you space to think and create. That's when solutions show up for problems that have been stuck for months. Leave some room.

“Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni.”
Artinya:
“Ya Allah, sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Pemaaf dan Engkau mencintai memaafkan, maka maafkanlah aku.”
Semoga Lailatul Qodar berjumpa dengan kita.
