"People are Not Their Behaviour"
What I know about children is:
0-7 years is the fastest growth time, when the imprinting everything from their environment is installed into their consciousness. From there until about 13 years, they role play and model what they experience. After that they experiment and test their environment, trying to make sense of who they are and how they show up in life.
What I know as a Teacher is:
On average, teachers have 5 days x 6 hrs face to face per week= 30 hours for quality teaching alone. Children spend the remaining 90 hours/week with “their environment”. After thirteen years of education in the current academic outcomes focussed system, who is responsible for shaping the quality of the foundation of a young adult person’s life?
As a full time working mum:
I grew even more in appreciation of the changes and stages of development and learning, the specific needs of each child, and how to meet that outside of the school system. When parents were allowed into classrooms as “helpers”, and would stay after class to chat…I got precious insights into the whole child’s world, and how that impacted their learning, but also their behaviour, social skills and self-esteem.
More than that though, I’m here to make a difference for the children…. I always have, and how I do that means you get “the best of both worlds” with me, from the training and experience as a teacher, enhanced with the tools and understanding from the spiritual, esoteric and scientific journey I’ve travelled.
Parents need all the help they can get! With my 3A’s approach to any of my current offerings, it’s all awareness, acceptance, and alignment with core beliefs and values. The responsibility is in the parents’ hands to become the best humans they can be first. Then they will be inspired by what they can bring to change the relationship with their children. I’ve seen amazing turnarounds, humbled by what parents can do.
The two highest states for learning are curiosity and fun, so it’s no surprise I had to create an alter ego to break the mold of the ‘retired teacher’ for myself and others!! All learning can be fun, so Nanny Poppins adds a sprinkle of curiosity and magic to learning, just like Mary did all those years ago. (I’ll bet you remember supercalafragalisticexpialadocious….. Hope I spelt that right!)
I’m excited to bring new perspectives into our understanding of relationship dynamics and family life. I believe parents want the best for their children. I’m fascinated to see how we can change our ways, and I’m passionate to uncover the uniqueness in each child, supporting them to shine their light, to make a real difference in the world.
