Alaa Kabalan
Almost every night, I tell my daughter Mira a story (or 2 or 3 and sometimes more, depends on who wins the negotiations 😅) Events are inspired by shared experiences, adventures, and/or things we've learned in our day time. This channel documents some of these stories. They're mainly for my daughter when she grows up, but they are also here for you and your kids, siblings, nieces and nephews. Let me know your thoughts and your kids' reactions. Also share your adventures that may inspire my next story. تقريباً كل ليلة، بخبّر بنتي ميرا قصة (أو اثنين أو تلاتة وأوقات أكتر 😅 حسب مين بيربح بالمفاوضات) أحداث القصص مستوحاة من تجارب مشتركة، مغامرات أو اشيا تعلّمناها بالنهار. هالقناة هي لتوثيق بعض هالقصص. والغاية الأساسية حفظهم لحتى يبقوا لميرا بس تكبر. ولكن هالقصص كمان هيي إلكن ولاولادكم أو اخواتكم أو أي حدا من أقاربكم. فاسمعوهم وخبروني رأيكم وردة فعل أطفالكم. كمان شاركوني مغامراتكم بركي بستوحي منها لشي قصة جديدة
