Hello

Thank you as always for stopping by- this #newblogpost is to all parents- hope you find this helpful.

Parentalk- Care for the Family Event

Just over a month ago, I attended the above and I was keen to follow it up. I have noted previous courses/ talks took effort to apply. This was simply effortless and below I tell a short story why.

The quote below is the inspiration behind this:

‘It’s hard to bring up a child, it’s even harder to fix a broken child’- unknown.

Boundaries and Battles
In the midst of our busy lives, following through consequences is actually a lot harder than one might think. For example, you may say no screen time and then you have the whining, whilst trying to get the tea on. Working out your bottom lines is key, for me it’s being disciplined with church and school life- this includes being consistent with bedtimes, work first then play, picking up after herself …. Is all I ask for now.

Building confidence
The power of our words are seeds of encouragement, builds self-confidence & self-esteem. Children needs to be loved unconditionally- there is a difference between the actions & choices a child makes to the child itself.  Once again it all makes sense in theory but within a busy setting this can quickly be overlooked for example, ‘you are a naughty girl’ is very different to saying ‘the choice you made wasn’t good’. In other words we are saying you are a good person and have the capacity to make good choices.

Parenting with Elastic
Increasing their independence as appropriate- this could be the responsibility of getting up with an alarm clock to making their own breakfast. This echoed coaching and mentoring in dealing with life in itself. I often encourage my daughter to think & have confidence in herself. I was so proud of her independently dealing with minor everyday peers issues, without having to always resorting to the teacher. For example, sorting out disagreements amongst themselves to learning to ignore negative behaviour.

Memories and Traditions
We are very big on scrapbooking and anything #crafty you just have to visit our #Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingkimi/. We adopted the highs and lows as mentioned in the event- what a lovely note that there has yet to be a low. Our highs included excellent report from her new school, the first in the class to know all her tables and division facts.

I also wanted to highlight how affordable the events are and I would encourage you to check out their website, for future events and helpful information on family life.

Best wishes

Highly Effective People Strives For Excellence

Hello I hope you enjoyed the last 2 special blog posts about Parentalk and Abuse. I felt it was important for me to use this platform to raise awareness on topics that could make a positive impact on future generations. This week is back to talking about life, inspiration, motivation and ideas-this post was actually inspired by a rather dysfunctional event. Every day we have many distractions, which can keep us from our destiny if we chose to be consumed by it.  Our dreams has to be bigger than our current reality to cause us not to sweat the smaller stuff and that involves letting some things or people go. The difference between effective and not-effective people is how we chose to channel it. Below is how (after the initial annoyance) I done it. Just to put this into context- the individual(s) concerns were unable to take accountability for their actions / errors, instead what I observed was a misuse of power and the slow demise of an outdated organisation. Enjoy...

A book review – Part One - Dealing with Disappointment by John Hindley

This book was a relatively easy read with the simple idea that leaves you to question: is life just one big disappointment?  In many ways it does seem so; the author delves into different areas of disappointment in our lives. I suspect most if not all are relatable to everyone. Firstly, the author says we actually should be disappointed by life, as things are not as good as they should be. We live in a frustrated and frustrating world; the frustration is because of the fallen world when sin entered humanity. We all carry this divinely inbuilt sense that the world should and could be better. The book goes on to say that on the other hand, we are sometimes too disappointed with life.  We expect satisfaction from other areas of lives to overcompensate for this.  When this satisfaction is denied, it starts an over-disappointed cycle. For example, I came across a thread where the mum wrote in and expressed disappointment in her children’s grades, which led her to ques...

A seemingly insignificant act has the potential to change the world...

I loved learning about the story of Reformation Day. The significance centres on how the Bible became accessible for everyone to read - historically the general public wasn’t allowed to read it, only priests or those considered anointed within the church were allowed to read it. The priests read the Bible in Latin, so for most people, it wasn’t even possible to read it. God’s word was entrusted into the hands of those in power, who were deemed qualified to understand it.  What the priests were teaching, was not actually in line with what the Bible said, as one monk, called Martin Luther found out. He started to read the Bible for himself out of pure frustration.  According to the teachings of the priests, believing in God seem to be just to be an endless set of rules and it left him feeling as if he could never be good enough for God. Little did he know at the time, he was about to birth a revolution that quite literally changed the world. This set him on a path of ...
