Parenting is the hardest job I’ve ever had. You lose yourself and question your decisions 90% of the time. My kids ask me if I’ve learned how to be a mom at “parent school.” I wish. Little do they know, they are my teachers. Here are 5 things my kids have taught me:

1. Happiness is a state of mind. Kids have a way of creating joy wherever they go — whether it be a long car ride, an early morning travel day or bad weather, kids find the joy in those moments. They remind me that happiness is a choice we get to make every moment.

5. Be imaginative. Kids have a magical way of transforming their realities into thoughtfully crafted story lines. They truly make the most mundane of things into theatrical performances. It serves as a daily reminder to remain playful.

4. Stay curious. Yes, as a parent, the endless questions can be exhausting. But also, how magical? How inspiring to witness these little humans eager to learn, asking the simple and hard questions fearlessly?

3. Be unapologetically yourself. Where to begin? Kids are unfiltered, unconditioned and authentic. I often listen to my kids and think: they’re saying exactly what every adult is thinking but is too afraid to say out loud.

Ran into a friend from hs who has my book. She told me her son recognized Ricky’s head covering and ran to let her know it’s a patka! This is what it’s all about. Ricky may be my inspiration for the book, but these stories are my fuel. #sikh #inclusion #kidsbook #diversity

2.Feel your feelings. When a child is upset, they cry. When they feel joy, they squeal with excitement. When they feel angry, they throw a toy. We are conditioned to suppress our emotions and be “strong,” when in actuality, the true strength is to feel the “good and bad.”

I’m a mother longing to bring more life into this world. I had to “abort” 4 pregnancies in the past 18 months, for myself and for my kids. To think that getting proper treatment for MY BODY is now a privilege is unfathomable. Shame on you America and shame on you, Missouri.

Abortion isn’t just for a woman who accidentally got pregnant. It’s for women who were victims of rape. It’s for women longing to be mothers, who were unable to, and need safe treatment. In the last year, I have been part of that 3rd group-that right got stripped away yesterday

I’m often asked if it was difficult to write my book — honestly, this never felt like “work.” This book always felt purposeful and from my heart. When I wrote the manuscript, I told @jspujji repeatedly that this was a book I could see myself reading to our kids at night.
