Parenting is not a perfect journey, but a perfect opportunity to love and guide the children

Every parent dreams of giving their child the happiest, safest, and most fulfilling childhood. We want them to laugh freely, grow healthy, learn joyfully, and step into the world with confidence. Yet, behind all the smiles and bedtime stories, there is a hidden fear that every modern parent carries in their heart—the fear of whether we can truly keep our children safe, happy, and protected in today’s changing world.

Modern life is filled with opportunities, but it also comes with challenges that were never this intense before. Technology surrounds our children, exposing them to screens more than open fields. Families are busier, with parents juggling demanding work schedules, often wishing they had more time to spend with their little ones. The outside world, though full of learning, also carries worries—of safety, of values, of whether our children will grow up in a world that nurtures kindness and resilience.

This hidden fear is not about one single danger. It is about the uncertainty of the future.

• Will my child be safe when I am not around?
• Will they grow up with strong values in a world that sometimes feels rushed and harsh?
• Will they know the joy of simple childhood, or will screens and schedules take it away?

And yet, parents find courage every day. Despite this fear, we hold our children’s tiny hands, walk with them into classrooms, and trust schools and teachers to be partners in shaping their journey. A kindergarten is not just a place of learning—it is a safe world where children begin to take their first steps away from home, and parents learn to let go, even if just a little.

As educators and parents, our shared responsibility is to replace fear with faith. By creating warm environments, encouraging creativity, teaching empathy, and giving children the freedom to be curious, we make sure they grow not only with knowledge but also with confidence.

So, while the hidden fear may always be there, it is also a reminder: that our children need not just protection but also love, guidance, and the freedom to bloom. If parents and schools walk together, this fear will slowly turn into hope—hope for a generation that is stronger, kinder, and ready to embrace life.
