NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

Illustration description – A bright pink background, with 3 cupcakes of purple, blue, and yellow. The cupcakes are stylized in such a way that they look like chunky, sharp-edged paper cutouts. The purple one is decorated with white swirls, the blue with tiny, bright green circles, and the yellow with an orange cherry. The entire image is peppered with soft, white, glitter-like spots, and the text of the haiku is written across the top of the image in black, contrasting with the pink background.

Generational Fragility by Lynsey Fyfe

Raising children can be a daunting task; it takes skill, determination and a great sense of humour. Raising them properly is a seemingly impossible task. Parenting has evolved so much over the years, it can be hard to keep up with current advice, but have babies changed? It’s hard to imagine babies are different enough now, to warrant such a drastic change in our parenting techniques in the last few decades.
