Motivational Thought – Dream Big, Start Small
Hey there! Have you ever had a really big dream, like becoming an astronaut, a chef, or even a famous designer? Well, here’s a little secret: all those big dreams start with small steps! It’s awesome to have big goals, but what’s more important is starting with something small and simple today.

The key is to keep moving forward and never give up. So, start today, no matter how small, and watch how those small steps lead you to amazing things in the future!
Character Tip – Its Easy To Complain But…
Hey, kids! Have you ever noticed how easy it can be to complain when things don’t go your way? Maybe you didn’t get your favorite snack, or your game didn’t turn out the way you wanted. It’s okay to feel upset sometimes, but when we complain all the time, it doesn’t help make things better. In fact, complaining too much can make us feel even worse and bring down the mood of everyone around us. Instead of focusing on what’s wrong, try thinking about what you can do to make the situation better or find something positive to focus on.
Next time you feel like complaining, take a deep breath and ask yourself, “What can I do to improve this?” Maybe you can ask for help, try a new approach, or simply be patient. Remember, a positive attitude can turn a tough situation into a fun challenge, and it helps you grow stronger and more creative. So, let’s practice being problem-solvers instead of complainers, and watch how much more fun life can be!

Technical Tip – Using Face ID or Touch ID
Hey teens! You know how important it is to keep your phones and personal information safe, right? Well, using Face ID or Touch ID (fingerprint) is one of the easiest and most secure ways to protect your devices. These features make it super quick to unlock your phone, and they add an extra layer of security that passwords or patterns can’t always offer. Since no one else has your face or fingerprint, it’s almost impossible for someone to break into your phone. Plus, it makes logging into apps or making payments faster and safer. So, take a moment to set up Face ID or Touch ID and keep your phone—and everything on it—secure!
Health Tip – Milk is Powerful

Whether you’re at school, on the playground, or just hanging out, drinking milk helps your body stay strong and ready for anything. So, make sure to drink a glass of milk every day and give your body the strength it needs to be its best!

Short Story – Car Racing Game or Zombies Game?
Once upon a time, there were two best friends, Ali and Bilal, who loved playing video games together. One day, a fierce argument broke out over which game was better: Ali loved “Super Car Race 3000,” while Bilal insisted that “Zombie Attack Mayhem” was the greatest game ever. The fight got so intense that they stopped talking for a whole day. Ali couldn’t believe Bilal would choose zombies over fast cars, and Bilal thought Ali was crazy for picking cars over battling the undead. Their moms even had to step in, wondering why the boys were sulking.
The next day, Bilal showed up at Ali’s house with a bag of chips and a sheepish grin. “Look, maybe racing cars isn’t so bad,” Bilal said, “but only if we can do it in zombie mode!” Ali laughed, “Fine, but only if I get to run over zombies with a supercharged car!” They both cracked up, realizing how silly their fight had been. So, they made a deal: every time they played, they would switch between racing and zombies, combining the best of both worlds.
From that day on, Ali and Bilal started giving each other’s ideas a chance. They even created their own game: “Zombie Super Race Mayhem,” where the winner had to outrun the zombies while racing across wild tracks. Not only did they have more fun, but they learned that sometimes, the best ideas come when you listen to each other—especially if snacks are involved!
After a while, Max paused the game and said, “Why are we yelling? Let’s just talk about it.” Sam realized Max was right and replied, “Okay, I’m sorry for yelling. I was just trying to help.” Max grinned, “And I’m sorry for not listening! Let’s just argue next time without all the shouting!” They both laughed and agreed that being calm and talking things through was way more fun than yelling. After that, they continued the game, but this time, they argued like proper friends—without any yelling and with plenty of laughter!
Idiom Of The Day – Break the Bank

- Sentence: We don’t need to break the bank to have a good vacation; there are plenty of affordable options.
Parenting Tip Of The Day – Staying Calm
Another tip for maintaining a calm and stress-free home environment is to establish clear routines and boundaries for everyone in the family. Having consistent routines for meals, homework, chores, and bedtime helps create structure, which reduces chaos and anxiety. When everyone knows what to expect, there are fewer surprises, misunderstandings, and last-minute rushes. Additionally, ensure that each family member has personal time to relax and recharge, whether through reading, hobbies, or quiet time. This balance between structure and personal space helps create a peaceful atmosphere where everyone feels grounded and less stressed.
