I’m a teacher and I literally URGE you to be that parent!!! Nothing will change or improve for your child if you don’t speak up. If you think your child isn’t getting the right support…speak up! If you think your child is being picked on…speak up! If you think your child isn’t being challenged enough…SPEAK UP! Ofcourse, there’s a time, place and WAY to go about speaking up, but let’s DROP this generational curse of being worried about being THAT parent. You are THAT parent, be THAT parent!! šŸ™šŸ¼šŸ™šŸ¼šŸ™šŸ¼

You set the standard in your home. Your child knows your temperament, knows your limits, knows what you will and won’t tolerate. So you need to show them, CONSISTENTLY, what they will not get away with. Also, I would recommend a conversation with your child around why it’s important that they listen to you. It builds trust, and makes you more willing to do the things they want you to do when they show you they can be trusted and that they respect you. You can frame this in whatever way will get through based on your child’s age/needs. Hope this helps šŸ„°šŸ™šŸ¼

I get this question every single day. Any time we’re out, when people see me post her online, family members, people in my social circle…EVERYONE wants to know what I did. I usually just say ā€œnothing she’s just really good at copyingā€, but actually, there are loads of things I do without thinking. I guess it comes naturally to me, being a teacher, so much so that I see it as ā€œnothingā€. The list really does go on and on, so if you’d like more. Let me know!! ā£ļø

My workshop will be on the 28th September, online (7pm-8pm), link for tickets in my bio!! There are definitely right and wrong approaches to take when teaching, or encouraging your child to read. A lot of the time, a lack of progress could be because your approach isn’t suited to your child. This is where I come in!! Soooo many people ask me to help teach their child to read, but because there’s only one of me, I can’t get to everyone šŸ˜– It’s also much more effective for me to teach you how to do it, so you just pay once and don’t have to keep coming back and paying me to do something you could probably do yourself (just keeping it realšŸ˜…). Anyway! If you’re interested, LINK IN BIO!! Only 20 tickets on sale so run, don’t walk ā£ļøā£ļøā£ļøā£ļø

How to teach your child to be the clap back queen/king. I don’t really encourage ā€œjust ignore themā€, because it’s not realistic in every scenario. It’s also very hard to ignore someone who’s purposely trying to make your life a misery šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø shutting them down tends to work better. I’ve done it to adults, I’ve done it to kids (in the nicest way possible). You don’t even have to be rude, you DEFINITELY don’t have to insult insult them back.

1. Refuse to internalise what they’ve said about you (Teach your kids that it says more about them than you)

2. Make them realise that they’re being a horrible person. Most bullies are going through something themselves, and are just projecting and acting on how they feel inside. Forcing them to acknowledge that can often snap them back to reality!!

I find that it tends to be the heavily religious parents who don’t want their kids in on these lessons. The reasoning is often that their child is ā€œtoo youngā€, ā€œtoo innocentā€ or ā€œdoesn’t need to know about these thingsā€. That taboo needs to stop ASAP. Many of us have experiences, or know someone who has had an experience that they can’t quite explain, but know it was wrong. Or maybe, realised it was wrong as an adult. If we educate our children from early on about what is/isn’t appropriate, we have a much better chance of keeping them safe when we inevitably can’t be there to protect them!!

Please parents, just teach your kids to use their words instead of their hands in general!! The world will be a dark place for them if they go round putting their hands on people any time they’re upset. If we don’t teach them these things from young, they’ll grow up thinking it’s normal and take the same behaviours into their adult lives šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø

From my teacher perspective: The looks I see on the children’s faces when they’re waiting for their parents, craning their neck to see out of the window, clutching their drawings/paintings, whispering to their friends about ā€œIs that your mum? Can you see my dad? That’s my little sisterā€ etc as they excitedly point to their family members. For the children going to after school club, they don’t get that šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø I’m not telling you to never send your kids, but I feel like any decent workplace should be accommodating enough to allow for you to miss half a day to pick your child up!! And as a parent, I really think you should want to 😭

This is for the type of parents who want to make sure their child is getting the most out of their education. Maybe your child is hitting expected and you want to know how to push them to greater depth? You feel like your child’s school isn’t catering to their specific needs? You want to know exactly what it is your child is learning? You want to replicate/deepen the teaching they’re receiving? You want to check exactly what they do and don’t know? You want to push them to meet the expectations? They have SEN and you want to see if mainstream education really is working for them? You want to see if there’s any gaps in their learning??

If ANY of this applies to you. The details for my online workshop are: 5th August, 7pm-8pm, on zoom! There’s a link in my bio for the flyer/tickets. See you there!

If you have any further questions…feel free to dm, email or comment them ā£ļø

ESPECIALLY when you understand a child’s background, it can be very hard not to feel sorry for them and want to show them that love that they are quite obviously missing (which is causing them to act out). I think ALL kids should be celebrated for their positive qualities, but I won’t act like I don’t get it when the ā€œnaughtyā€ kids seem to be getting that extra bit of recognition for things that seem to be standard
