We met in second semester of 300 level.
His name was Emmanuel. Quiet, tall, and annoyingly smart. I was the loud one,
always talking,
always laughing,
always surrounded by people.
He was the opposite. But somehow, we found each other.
It started in the library.
He sat across from me for weeks without saying a word.
Then one day, I forgot my pen. He slid one across the table without looking up. That was it. That was our beginning.
We started studying together. Then eating together.
Then walking to class together.
Everyone noticed. My friends called him "your boyfriend."
He didn't correct them.
Neither did I.
By mid semester, I was sure. This was the one.
But my friends had other ideas.
My closest friend, gabby, didn't like him.
She said he was too quiet.
Too secretive.
That no good man moves that slowly unless he's hiding something.
I laughed it off at first. Then she started bringing "evidence." …..
Parents can survive the noise, the mess, the endless questions, and the daily chaos. But nothing makes a parent's heart skip a beat faster than sudden silence. 😅

Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what. If you don’t listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won’t tell you the big stuff when they are big…
A woman once complained that her 12 year old daughter suddenly refused to attend school.
The girl cried every morning, begged to stay home, and became unusually quiet. Convinced she was being stubborn, the mother called teachers, involved relatives, and even thrætened pun!shment.
“Why don’t you want to go to school?” everyone kept asking.
But nobody really listened to her answer.
Weeks later, the truth came out.
A senior student had been bullying her every day. Taking her lunch, mocking her appearance, and threatening her whenever she tried to report it.
The child wasn’t being difficult.
She was asking for help in the only way she knew how.
Many parents miss these signs. A child’s “no” is not always disobedience. Sometimes it’s fear. Sometimes it’s pain. Sometimes it’s a cry for protection.
Before involving everyone else, sit with your child privately. Ask questions. Listen more than you speak.
You may be surprised by what they have been carrying alone.
Have you ever discovered that a child’s behavior was actually a message for help?
