INSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD




Allowing children learn at their pace is very important for a homeschooling parent. This is one of the major reasons for homeschooling anyways. I use the eclectic approach which is a combination of several approaches for learning but I lean towards the Montessori method majorly.

It simply means my approach is more child led, I focus more on my child’s area of interest. For a while I have been trying to teach my three and half year old to write numbers or letters with pencil or crayon but he would rather scribble and doodle. As much as I want him to learn this, I don’t push too hard.

I focus on other things he likes, recently I noticed he is interested in the family unit, he keeps pointing to older men he sees as dad and if he sees a group of men and women he goes, “mom, dad, son or daughter”. So we are learning about nuclear and extended family members next week( just an introduction).

I keep nudging him to write a letter or number gently but I am not pressing too hard because I know he would once he is ready.




I dont like homeschooling at all... Children learn faster in groups with other kids like themselves, they learn faster and grow wiser..... I am not even the type to homeschool at all... Most home schooled kids are anti social and dont blend with other kids easily.. 

They withdraw and become introverts when they are in a crowd.... Most grow up with lack of self confidence when they face others....

Why do people homeschool? Doesnt it not interfere with normal life activities?

A STORY THAT WILL SHOCK YOU

A neighbor of mine once gave my mom spoilt eba and Okro soup to eat.
This was when we had nothing and were both struggling.
My mom had gone to her to ask if she had anything to eat.

The woman told my mom that all she had was eba and soup.
She asked if my mom wanted it.


"But you go fit chop my food?"

My mom assured her she can. Of cause, she wasn't expecting spoilt food.

When she brought the eba to the house in a plate and opened it, my dad felt like throwing up.

He was very upset.

"How can she do this to us?" He fumed angrily.

"Is it because we are poor? Or is it because we don't have anything to eat?" How can she be so cruel to give us food that she cannot eat?"

My mom tried to calm him down and asked him not to shout so she doesn't hear.

Still angry, he stood up and carried his shoe along.

It was his only church shoe. That day he sold it to a shoemaker at our junction for peanuts.

He brought the money and handed it to my mom.

Cook us something better to eat. Do not beg people anymore.

If we don't have, it is better we starve than to beg &be mocked at." He cautioned.

That evening while she cooked, my mom asked him to bring down the soup, while she ran to buy us candles.

Just as she left, a knock sounded on my door.

My dad opened it, it was the woman

The same woman that had brought us the spoilt soup.

She carried a pot in her hands and asked my dad if she could warm her soup with our charcoal.

My dad agreed.

While she was warming her soup, we kept perceiving this strange smell from her pot.

So when she had come to carry her soup, my dad said to her.

"This soup still good?"

The woman chuckled.

"E good. Na the last one be this.

I give your wife small this afternoon and na this one I wan chop."


"But the soup don spoil na"

She looked at the pot.

"Food the only spoil when you get option. I no get option, e still good. I go chop am like that."

Mom who was already back & inside started weeping as she overheard the woman.

That evening my dad collected the pot from the woman & invited her to our house to eat with us

Before she left, he told my mom to share our pot of soup in two. We gave her half of the soup, while we kept half.
Some of us take the good deeds of others for wickedness.

We complain because what they gave to us was not what we expected them to give.

But have we stopped to ask if what they gave us was their last?

We should look deeper, and be appreciative instead of complaining.
