TW. Dear reader, I've encountered bullying in sch TW. Dear reader, I've encountered bullying in schools, playgrounds and homes as a child, teacher, parent and parent educator. But what boggles me is how we fail to see the similarities in these situations. You may recognise yourself doing some of this. You may recognise that some of this was done to you as a child. Holding space for you. Remember, caregivers can practise positive discipline without punishment. Boundaries can be drawn with kindness. You can parent with compassion. What do you think? #ammatoday
To everyone who helped bring Amma’s Magic Handba To everyone who helped bring Amma’s Magic Handbag to the @blrlitfest - thank you. ✨ Reading to a sea of bright, curious children was pure joy, and holding space for them as they bravely shared their feelings felt like the greatest privilege of all. Being surrounded by so many people who care deeply about children’s literature left me utterly speechless- like a little girl wandering wide-eyed through candyland. Interacting with little readers and hearing their honest, wide-eyed reflections was the sweetest icing on the cake. A reminder of exactly why I do what I do. Huge love to @thelittledipperpublishing for everything you do. And our brilliant illustrator @notesonbrush - you were there in spirit for sure. I’ll most definitely be back next year.🤭 @attagalatta team,take a bow. #ammatoday
Let's face it - parenting pages can be overwhelmin Let's face it - parenting pages can be overwhelming ( including mine) if we aren't centred. We see something on social media, it looks amazing and we immediately set out to apply it. Somehow it doesn't work for us because we never paused to consider if it would, or if it needs tweaking to our family philosophy. Then we feel bad, like we aren't good enough, guilty even and question our parenting ability. Sometimes we project it on the creator's page or the philosophy or social media or on other aspects of ourselves. Phew! Here's something that may help. These are books I keep going back to not because they carry the most ground breaking strategies or tools but they call upon you to reflect. Reflect on why you pick a certain activity, or discipline methods or what perfect parenting means or where your true family values lie. They're all written (for the most part) in a gentle tone intended to help the reader introspect rather than feel pressurised or small. They're books where you can pick parts that work for you, think deeply to understand what works for your family and apply from a place of calm. These are books that I recommend multiple times when parents feel overwhelmed with social media. Don't ask me for links, I read most adult books on my kindle. You can bookmark the name and search for it with your favourite seller. Question for today - Has there been parenting advice online that you've had to tweak for your own family? #ammatoday #ammatoday_books
