A young girl sits at a kitchen counter with a focused expression, holding a pen and working in a notebook. Beside her, an adult wearing a striped sweater assists, guiding her hand with the writing. Open books and notebooks are spread out on the counter, and a pot is visible in the foreground, indicating a multitasking parent balancing study or work and parenting.
