Dear Reader,
Welcome! My name is Ladi Bint Idrees—author, educator, and teen mentor. For almost two decades, I have walked alongside young people and families, helping them discover strength, resilience, and hope. As a divorced mother of three, I know firsthand the struggles and the beauty of raising children while navigating life’s unexpected turns.
This blog is my heart poured into words. It is a safe space for parents, educators, and anyone passionate about family life to find encouragement, practical strategies, and faith-inspired tools. Here, we will discuss raising teenagers with confidence, nurturing family bonds, and building homes founded on discipline, love, and trust.
My journey has taught me that parenting is not about perfection—it’s about showing up, again and again, with compassion and courage. It’s about planting seeds of faith and values that will bloom in our children long after today’s challenges are behind us.
At TreadingDeepWaters.com, you can expect resources that blend wisdom, faith, and practical solutions:

With warmth and gratitude,
