Tips For Teaching Your Child At Home

-


Homeschooling for some of us can be a very daunting thought. As we embark on the real possibility that many parents across the globe will need to embrace the fact that they will soon become their child's teacher in their own classroom, I thought it would be negligent of me to not offer some safe, nurturing advice.

Parent Self-Care 101

I don't know about you.....but I am not going to shy away from the fact that I am feeling pretty pooped these days. Juggling family, work, and life in general seems far more exhausting that it's ever been. Daily life as we know now it is unfamiliar territory. We are navigating through each day with minimal sleep, and copious amounts of caffeine. We are playing the role of parents, housekeepers, careers, chef's, and educators all at once. It's only natural to lose your true self in this concoction of role descriptions day in, day out. When the sun finally sets on each day, I am finding myself taking a moment before I fall asleep to reflect upon what I (as of late,) refer to as the 'chaos of activities' I have more often than not, fumbled my way through. I question, analyse, dissect, and criticise my actions, thoughts, words and mistakes. I focus my thinking on where I dropped the so-called 'ball," and how I could have been better with my appro

Maybe you loved to play dress up's and be a superhero.  For me, I have very fond memories of putting on my roller-blades, and scooting around our backyard. And getting creative by playing 'shops' with my brother in the backroom. I remember dancing and feeling free. Choreographing my own little routines and putting on the costumes that mum had spent many, many hours stitching and sequencing. We also had a really big blackboard that dad nailed to the fence under the carport verandah. It is with this special memory that I suppose I can connect who I am today to my past. I became the teacher in the 'classroom' at the young age of 7 or 8. Little did I know at that time those moments would shape who I am as a person today. Looking back, it is quite obvious that my love for one of my favourite childhood pass t

Holding On To Hope In Times Of Need.

Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. 2020 has been derailed from the get go. Firstly by ravishing bushfires during our Australian summer, followed shortly after by the devastating onset of COVID-19. It's definitely difficult to see the trees through the forest, or the light at the end of the tunnel right now, when our days are all very much consumed with an overloaded work schedule, and daily breaking news updates that continue to heighten our confusion and frustration all at the same time. And I speak of this from the perspective of a well-rounded, educated adult. (Well at least that's how I would like to think of myself!) Imagine how our young people must be feeling?  Yes, I completely agree with the real fact that children / young people are far more resilient than what we give them credit for. However the craziness of the reality that we are all living is most certainly taking its toll. And quit
