How to correct three bad behavioural habits

This is regarding the article “How to correct three bad behavioural habits” by Faraz Ahmad (YW, November 26).

The bad habits explained in the article were accurate, as lying, back-biting and mocking are quite common in kids and are developed in the early years of their life. These habits are morally and ethically wrong, so we should avoid them.

Popsicle stick wall décor

This is regarding the Wonder crafts “Popsicle stick wall décor” by The Crafter (YW, November 26). It was a wonderful craft, I loved it and immediately made one. The result was awesome and my friends have also asked me to make one for them. This was one of the most amazing crafts I have made after reading it in YW. I would request the writer to make more easy decoration pieces so that we can decorate our room aesthetically.

The washerwoman’s cry

This is with the reference to the story “The washerwoman’s cry” by Zara Ahmed (YW, December 3). This story gives us the lessons that if we do good deeds to others and also help them as much as we can, all the good we do will be returned to us one day. Besides, helping the one in need leads to self-satisfaction.

There are millions of people out there who need our help in any way possible. So, whenever we see people in need, we should not hesitate to help them. Our little kind gesture can help them go a long way.

The story “The washer woman’s cry” by Zara Ahmed was amazing and expressed how basic ethics play an important role in one’s life.

It is vital for every individual to help someone in trouble. It is actually our moral and ethical duty towards people around us. I am very delighted to find articles in this magazine that make us learn good values.

Paper Christmas tree

This is regarding the Wonder craft “Paper Christmas tree” by The Crafter (YW, December 10). The steps of paper the Christmas tree were well-explained and it helped me and my friends make amazing paper Christmas trees. The crafts in this section are usually very beautiful and I love the idea of making crafts from the useless stuff easily available to us. I suggest to the Crafter to make more crafts that are easy and also look beautiful.
