Repeat with me Mamas

👇🏾

I am fully qualified to teach my child. They couldn't have a better teacher than a loving committed parent who has their best interests at heart.

You have been 'teaching' your child from the very beginning. You instinctively know what your child needs and there is no one more qualified for this role than you! Homeschooling is an extension of parenting and you are more than fit for the role Mama 🥰

“In practice, educators who worry about “unqualified” people teaching their own children almost always define “qualified” to mean teachers trained in schools of education and holding teaching certificates. They assume that to teach children involves a host of mysterious skills that can be learned only in schools of education and that are in fact taught there; that people who have this training teach much better than those who do not; and indeed that people who have not had this training are not competent to teach at all. None of these assumptions are true.” -John Holt, Teach Your Own

One of the most common questions that I've been asked⁣
⁣
👇🏾⁣
⁣
Doesn't acknowledging a child's feelings make matters worse and encourage their behaviour? Isn't it better to distract or redirect them? ⁣
⁣
Acknowledging your child's feelings doesn't mean you agree with their actions, it simply validates the feelings behind them. It sends our children a powerful message that their feelings, thoughts and desires are understood and accepted. ⁣
⁣

⁣
👉🏾 Acknowledging our children's feelings work⁣
⁣
👉🏾It can stop tantrum and tears. Feeling understood is powerful.⁣ When we acknowledge what happened or that our child is in pain, hurt and or frustrated it eases their pain.
⁣
👉🏾When we don't swoop in to fix or stop their feelings it fosters trust and our children are more likely to share their feelings with us.⁣
⁣
👉🏾When we help children to verbalize their feelings it encourages emotional intelligence and language development.⁣
⁣
👉🏾It helps us to see things from our childs point of view⁣
⁣
👉🏾Most of all acknowledging a childs feelings helps them feel seen, heard, loved, understood and accepted 😁⁣

What have your experiences been with acknowledging your childs feelings?

I always get asked this question and I wanted to clarify and give you some good news 😁⁣
⁣
~You are not doomed to repeating the same patterns that you've inherited.⁣
⁣
Yes the way you have been parented impacts the way you see the world, your relationships and especially the relationship with your children. But what is even more important is how you make sense of your childhood experiences. Becoming aware of how it has shaped your development and current relationships. ⁣
⁣
If you are able to reflect on your childhood experiences and have the courage to examine your past. You begin to heal. Relationships change and attachment patterns change. Secure attachment can be learnt, it re-wires your brain. ⁣
⁣
Yes you've become the person you are because of behaviour patterns but you don't need to stay stuck there. You're not to blame for what happened to you, but you are responsible for what you do now. ⁣
⁣
Just because you didnt recieve a secure attachment it doesn't mean you can't offer the same to your children. When you do the work you break the cycle of passing down an insecure attachment. It's not easy but acceptance and forgiveness is liberating and who benefits from this gift? You do, your children do, your children's children do and generations to come 💟 ⁣
⁣
Repeat after me⁣
⁣
👉🏾 I am not doomed to repeating the same patterns.⁣

Imagine, having a coach, a teacher, a consultant to help you along the way to achieve what you want too. Imagine having someone to support, guide and hold your hand. Someone who's been where you are and has expertise in the relevant fields. What could it change for you and your children? ⁣
⁣
⁣
I'm celebrating client wins this week 😁 I am honoured, inspired and so proud of the parents I work with. I've never told them how to parent or educate their children they already know how too. They inspire me 💟 ⁣
⁣
👉🏽 My main reasons for coaching sessions was to work on my anger towards my children and after the sessions I feel as if I am a new person. The relationship between me and my children has improved massively. ⁣
⁣
👉🏾 She nudged me in the right direction. Alhamdulillah so grateful for her expertise. She helped me with books, resources, routine, setting the environment and understanding developmental needs.⁣
⁣
👉🏾 What you are offering here is no small thing Maryam. It is life-changing! ⁣
⁣
👉🏾 I was mimicking others. I learnt not only how and what to teach my child but how to connect with his unique learning styles. ⁣
⁣
👉🏾 I was able to see a change in my behaviour and my daughters within a few weeks of our sessions ⁣
⁣
👉🏽 I re read the coaching notes you sent to continue being this new better version person and parent. ⁣
⁣
👉🏾 This has changed the way I view my children and transformed my parenting. ⁣

One the first books I read after having the babies

One the first books I read after having the babies. It's a must read for all parents whether you homeschool or send your children to school.⁣
⁣
Who remembers Michael Rosen? 😁 ⁣
⁣
It's an extremely simple read yet super informative with playful and engaging text. Extremely thought-provoking, packed with wonderful ideas and practical examples. ⁣
⁣
Includes insights, information and practical suggestions about:⁣
⁣
-The power of I don't know⁣
-Writing and reading ⁣
-Learning in the kitchen, bedroom, living room and the great outdoors! ⁣
- Days out, outings and visits ⁣
-Supplies to have at home⁣
-Book suggestions and more! ⁣
⁣
"Learning should be much more fun and former children's laureate, million-selling author, broadcaster, father of five and all-round national treasure, Michael Rosen wants to show you how. Forget lists, passing tests and ticking boxes, the world outside the classroom can't be contained within the limits of any kind of curriculum - and it's all the better for it.⁣
⁣
Long car journeys, poems about farting, cake baking, even shouting at the TV can teach lessons that will last a lifetime. Packed with enough practical tips, stories and games to inspire a legion of anxious parents and bored children, Good Ideas shows that the best kind of education really does start at home." 🍎⁣

Such a joyful and refreshing read. Sit back and enjoy!

As homeschooling parents we are facilitators. We tune into our child's needs, we listen, guide when necessary and challenge when appropriate. ⁣
⁣
See your role as a facilitator rather than a teacher. Have you noticed how this simple shift in language from teacher to facilitator can help break the traditional model of teaching?⁣
⁣
Learning is not something done to children. We observe, guide and provide warmth, security and stability to our children. We meet our children's unique interests, abilities and developmental needs. ⁣
⁣
You are the most important and significant person in the world to your child. Trust yourself to be the best facilitator for your childs learning. Trust yourself to provide a learning environment that is rich, safe and full of joy! ⁣
⁣
Repeat after me my love 💟⁣
⁣
I trust myself to be the best facilitator for my child's learning. ⁣

Dhul Hijjah Shelfie 😁⁣ Few weeks left until

Dhul Hijjah Shelfie 😁⁣

Few weeks left until the blessed ten days begin. May Allah allow us to see them and reap the blessings of the month.
⁣
Last year my Mama was blessed to complete Hajj again alhamdulillah. The children loved receiving all her pictures, videos and hearing about her real life experience. ⁣
⁣
⁣
In the past I've set up an interactive wall for the month of Dhul Hijjah which I might recreate however we'll be focusing on reading, discussing and learning about the importance behind the ritual acts of Hajj. Lots of beautiful conversations and child-led crafts 🕋⁣
⁣
⁣
The Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam said: “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days (Dhul Hijjah).” [Sunan Ibn Majah]⁣

Have you ever wondered why your children behave di

Have you ever wondered why your children behave differently when you're around Mama? ⁣
⁣
The whining, crying, upset and all the other emotions in between come pouring out. This is because you are your childs safe space.⁣

You give them a safe space, where they know they are loved unconditionally.
⁣
Once you understand the importance and value of inviting all of your childs emotions it becomes easier to guide your childs emotions rather than shutting them down. To acknowledge their pain and upset to invite into a safe space. ⁣
⁣
Once we enter parenting with an understanding of connecting to our children's feelings, we experience a different energy towards them. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We move from a place of authority to partnership and collaboration, a place where we honour and consider their needs ⁣⁣
⁣
Comforting and honouring your childs needs does not reinforce 'bad' behaviour infact it allows them to feel safe, secure and supports their long-term emotional growth. ⁣

Repeat after me.
⁣
I have the honour of being a safe space for my child 💟⁣

I've spoken about this book before but recommending it here on the feed for you all 😁⁣⁣

We're coming to the end of our 'Homeschool rhythms' course over at @nurturing.mamas. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This week we delivered our workshop on 'Daily Rhythms' and we discussed how to create an intentional follow to your day. We also covered how to simplify your homeschool using Morning time & the use of Morning baskets. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We broke down what to include in your Morning time and how important relational learning is. We discussed including your own interests in Morning time. Because homeschooling is all about the relationships. Children have a deep emotional need to feel connected. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you want to simplify your homeschool, bring back joy and rhythm this book is for you! If you want to focus on the entire family learning together whilst building your children's character and love of learning this is for you! ⁣⁣
⁣
Morning time "is the daily collection of little grains of sand that add up to a lifetime of learning. It is the daily sowing of the seeds of learning for the long haul.." Pam Barnhill ⁣🍎⁣

I am open to growing alongside my child ❣⁣
⁣
We are learning and growing, as are our children. In a previous post I talked about our children taking us to unexplored parts of ourselves. ⁣
⁣
Everyday we have numerous opportunities through the interactions with our children to explore unattended parts of our self. ⁣
⁣⁣
Being able to truly understand and looking at why your child's behaviour triggers you so deeply, there is an opportunity to heal and grow into a whole version of yourself⁣⁣
⁣⁣
~ Our children's behaviours are a gift to us.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If we look within instead of projecting our hurts onto our children and fixing them there are great opportunities to heal unfinished business. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We can do this Mamas. Say it with me ⬇️⁣
