mindful care and attention

A few things to say..

The resources I put together for the kids are carefully , lovingly made as I know some of the resources their teachers at school were put together. How wholesome that the materials that they learn with have been created with heart and inspiration that drops from the heavens, using my hands to express and materialise a concept or idea that might help them on their way.

I've picked up a guitar with purpose today, looking fwd to exercising these sleepy fingers into belting out some singalong songs that I hope to invite other kids along to.

Swimming lessons, being together, wondering where it will lead - the unknown of will they ever learn to swim under my guidance (!) (with the help of an usbourne book and other friends I talk it through with) and the thought that yes probably they will and how exciting it is to tread that path and to be a full part of a skill being grasped.

A sense of not wanting to meddle in their development. Simply answer the questions, allow inspiration to guide with any tools along the way, allow the wonderment of exploration and learning in every moment, prioritise it and trust in the unfolding.

If an idea is worth running with it will make itself known. Sometimes a subject is one question for now and won't be looked at for weeks, if ever again. Some seem ongoing, the ebb and flow as the child picks up however much they need right now and then lets it settle before reinforcing and carrying it forwards.

Thats all for now.
