She was embarrassed and incredibly apologetic.</p><p>I told her you’re talking to another mum! I get it. You don’t need to explain! My kids certainly have done the same. Kids do that sometimes.</p><p>It hit me how as parents we are always so apologetic for the behaviour of our children because <b>we are embarrassed</b>.</p><p>I’ll tell you something maybe I shouldn’t, but I want to be real with you here…</p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a>When one of my children was preschool age she would have the worlds most intense tantrums- I kid you not. She would roll around on the floor screaming no matter where we were. At home, at a friends house, in the middle of the street…anywhere.<p></p><p>I was a young and inexperienced mum, I have no shame in that. I was what I was back then and can’t change what I did or didn’t do back then. It is however through that inexperience that I’ve gained perspective and learned lessons that I don’t think I would have, had I got it all right back then, alhamdulillah.</p><p>I share that time with you because I remember my embarrassment when she would have an explosion in public.</p><p><b>That embarrassment shifted my child’s needs to MY needs.</b></p><p>Her need for a proactive mum was met instead with a mum who was REACTING to the situation based on MY need for an obedient child that wasn’t met at that moment.</p><p>Instead of understanding what was causing the eruption and her underlying need so I could handle it appropriately, I focused on how to quiet her QUICK, because I didn’t want to be seen as a bad mum.</p><p>What I want you to realise from my hindsight so you can benefit as a parent today, is <b>the embarrassment you feel STEELS from your ability to be the parent you want to be & the parent your child needs</b>.</p><p>Because you’re parenting from a superficial level to protect yourself from shame, instead of stepping into the proactive parenting role your child actually needs.</p><p>What I want you to take away from this, is <b>learn to let go of that shame and worry about what other people think of you.</b> Kids mess up sometimes. Even the kids of those who are looking -theirs mess up too. Children make mistakes because they are learning. </p><p>You’re not a bad mum when they act out. Your job is to guide and correct, to teach your child how to navigate this world and their feelings healthily because they are going to get things wrong….constantly. They need you right behind them to support and help them understand so they can make sense of everything and grow.</p><p>Let go of worrying about what others think of you or your child. <b>Those on the outside watching are not going to raise your child for you</b>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vLUuV7SgEVw/YXu2V6zo8tI/AAAAAAAAyPU/QbvY2xzZLVwrqBz4V7kh6pIZsu0SH89_QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/dealing%2Bwith%2Bkids%2Btantrums%2B.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="dealing with kids tantrums" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vLUuV7SgEVw/YXu2V6zo8tI/AAAAAAAAyPU/QbvY2xzZLVwrqBz4V7kh6pIZsu0SH89_QCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/dealing%2Bwith%2Bkids%2Btantrums%2B.png" width="640" /></a></div><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">There is help for you</span></h1><p>If you’d love help understanding your children’s behaviour so you can respond effectively, come join me in <a href="https://coursecraft.net/m/fMpryVnP" target="_blank">Mums Unstuck</a>.</p><p>Mums Unstuck is an EPIC <a href="https://coursecraft.net/m/fMpryVnP" target="_blank">monthly parenting membership for Muslim mums</a> where each month we explore different topics related to parenting children and teens alongside personal growth…because when you grow, your kids grow too.</p><p>When you join you’ll have <b>immediate access</b> to a growing library of masterclasses, resources and a supportive community you can use right away.</p><p>If this sounds like it could be something you need, hit the highlighted text ><a href="https://coursecraft.net/m/fMpryVnP" target="_blank">HERE</a>< to find out more…..just to give you a heads up before you go, sign up before November 1st to benefit from the current low monthly fee of just £15, because on Monday it will be going up to £20 for new members.

Most of us don't have any experience of home education until we jump right into it. Figuring out what we "should" be doing can be pretty daunting. <b>Having a mentor saves you time learning what has taken others years to discover and understand, as well as avoid some rookie mistakes!</b></p><p>Homeschool With Confidence will provide you with this dedicated mentorship together with support and a little gentle coaching.</p><p>This programme will provide you with <b>everything you need to find your homeschool feet all in one place, in a way that serves<i> your</i> family, not mine</b>. There isn't a standard one-size-fits-all approach and this is the beauty of home education that you will discover. </p><p>You will benefit from a series of 16 carefully constructed live modules that will:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Boost homeschool motivation, addressing what homeschool is and more importantly what it is not.</li><li>Bust the common homeschool myths and misconceptions that hold people back and extended families often worry about.</li><li>Show you how to address your homeschool fears and beat them so they don't overpower you bi'ithnillah. </li><li>Address the importance and impact of mindset in sustaining homeschool longevity.</li><li>Explore why deschooling is important for you as well as your child (because even if your children have not been to school, you have), and how to do it.</li><li>Introduce and explain popular homeschool methods and warn against that which is harmful to the Muslim.</li><li>Look at how we can adapt popular homeschool methods to suit the Muslim home.</li><li>Explain what Education Philosophies are and help you to write your own.</li><li>Guide you to uncover your homeschool why?</li><li>Show you how to build your homeschool routine that brings about consistency and ease</li><li>Explore popular strategies to homeschool organisation</li><li>Guide you through simple lesson planning principles (even if you hate to plan...I got you covered)</li><li>Show you how to create a homeschool space that invites curiosity and sparks interest - no matter the size of your home or budget</li><li>Uncover some simple strategies to run and manage your home like a pro alongside homeschool</li><li>Guide you to create your own homeschool map to meet the individual needs and goals of your family</li><li>Support you as a home educator</li></ul><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PQVqEBDV4GQ/YGSzKj04aFI/AAAAAAAAtTc/8zK8iQlpb3krAa5vYmvMRM8iV0PUjS9vACLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/.1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="muslim homeschooling" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PQVqEBDV4GQ/YGSzKj04aFI/AAAAAAAAtTc/8zK8iQlpb3krAa5vYmvMRM8iV0PUjS9vACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/.1.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">16 Pre-Recorded Master Classes for the Muslim mother</span></h3><div><p>Each weekly module offers a new Master Class that you can view anytime convenient to you.

Although a self-paced course, you're still able to interact with fellow participants and gain mutual support in our own private community space on Telegram.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 1: Introducing Home Education</h4><p>Our first week introduces the concept of home education, which is often confused for being school-at-home. Here we'll address what it is and perhaps more importantly, what it is not. Whether you are brand new to homeschool or have been in the game for a while, this first module helps to build a strong foundation for what your homeschool is going to be; your home. </p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 2: Benefits Of Homeschool</h4><p>In week two we'll uncover some of the benefits home education offers; exploring them in relation to academics, family, social, Islam and general homeschool perks. Knowing the merits educating without school brings will give you greater confidence in your ability to succeed, insha'Allah.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 3: Busting The Myths</h4><p>Home education has many misconceptions. In this class we will bust the 9 most common homeschool myths that hold many people back from starting and families often worry about so that you won't be held back by these same stories.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 4: Deschooling Explained</h4><p>It can be really difficult to shake off and break away from the school mindset when we have grown up in that system. To help you do this it is important to go through a deschooling process....even if your child has never been in school; because <i>you have</i>. In our fourth class together we'll walk you through deschooling your children if they have been in school, as well as perhaps more importantly, how to go about deschooling yourself.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 5: Facing Your Homeschool Fears</h4><p>It is not uncommon to have anxieties around home educating your family. Fears can be helpful by keeping you on your toes, however, they shouldn't hold you back. In the Facing Your Homeschool Fears class, you'll take a look at the importance of mindset and beliefs. You will be invited to explore your worries around home educating, and learn how to crush them one by one insha'Allah.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 6: Homeschool Styles</h4><p>Are you confused about homeschool methods and education philosophies? Are you wondering whether you have to follow a set method or can you freestyle it? In this class, we'll explore education beliefs (including yours) and introduce you to common homeschool styles of education: Montessori, Charlotte Mason, Unschooling, Unit Studies, Classical, Eclectic and warn the dangers of Waldorf for the Muslim family.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 7: Run Your Home Like A PRO</h4><p>Before we delve into the inner workings of your homeschool, we'll address one of the biggest concerns mothers have; managing the home alongside educating. If we can get this right, everything else will be easy!<br />Whether you have a type-A personality that craves order, the inherent characteristics of a sloppy teen or something in between, we'll take a look at strategies to manage the home so that you can end overwhelm and spend more time doing the things that matter.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 8: Building Your Routine</h4><p>Owning the day is what will help you build a homeschool for success, insha'Allah. In week 8 we will end the confusion around schedules and routines. You'll discover the difference between each and learn the easy way to build up your homeschool day in a sustainable way.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 9: Creating A Morning Basket</h4><p>Morning basket, morning time and circle time are all used to mean the same thing; a period of time where the family comes together to start the day with read alouds, games and gentle learning activities. In this class we'll take a deep-dive to look at how you can start one in your home no matter the age of your children; from tots to teens.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 10: Organising Homeschool</h4><p>I'll introduce you to three amazing tools you can use to help keep your homeschool ticking smoothly without guilt, pressure or stress!</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 11: Planning part 1: Knowing Your Children</h4><p>Knowing Your Children is the first of a two-part workshop on homeschool planning. This thing we call education is not something we just "do to" our children, rather it is something they are part of. They are at the centre of it all. I'll walk you through getting to really know your children so that you can utilise that information to address their needs and find meaningful learning opportunities unique to them.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 12: Planning part 2: Lessons</h4><p>In the second of our planning modules, you will learn simple lesson planning tools to help you design your own lessons as well as discover what you can do to stay on track and feel in control if planning ahead really doesn't suit you (not everyone does plan ahead!).</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 13: Inviting Learning</h4><p>Learning happens when children are interested and engaged. We'll investigate the natural wonder of children and look at ways that encourage happiness and willingness to learn so that you can facilitate more of those opportunities in your homeschool adventure. </p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 14: Creating Your Homeschool Space</h4><p>It is not the size of your home or budget that matters when it comes to creating a homeschool space that invites children to discover, learn and create. In week 14, we will explore how you can build a home environment that is conducive to encouraging organic interest and learning with your family.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 15: Learning Toolkit</h4><p>Learning experiences are not restricted to a lined exercise book. I want to show you fun, engaging methods you can use to bring everyday learning to life at home.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Week 16: Parting Advice and Q&A</h4><p>In our final Masterclass, I'll share some homeschool insights that it usually takes mums years to learn together with my parting advice as you set forward into your new journey before ending with a final Q&A session.</p><p><b>If you've read enough and ready to sign up you can register ><a href="https://coursecraft.net/courses/BbgMn?code=25OFF" target="_blank">here</a>< ......if you want to know more and take a peek at the course materials and fantastic bonuses, continue reading......</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cdmWnghlo-E/YGSCWzRp_BI/AAAAAAAAtSU/dPZ6OaHbrKkO9qbwVF5sNOFWfzHCaVrvQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/muslim%2Bhomeschool.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="muslim homeschool" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cdmWnghlo-E/YGSCWzRp_BI/AAAAAAAAtSU/dPZ6OaHbrKkO9qbwVF5sNOFWfzHCaVrvQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/muslim%2Bhomeschool.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Fantastic resources to empower your journey</span></h3><p>This programme is designed to be an interactive experience so that you will get up and take action...because it is only with action that you will find the results you are seeking. </p><p>To help you process each module and put it into practice, I have included transformational resources to help you get the best out of your experience....</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Module Guides (PDF)</h4><p>Each weekly master class comes with its very own guide, presenting detailed class notes (so you won't miss anything important) in both printable ink-friendly and full-colour digital formats.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r_jiWzbn28Y/YGSu5Y0oZJI/AAAAAAAAtTM/qxAXR4zPDAsipLE-60V7sl2XVflcdWnUgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/homeschool%2Bwith%2Bconfidence%2Bnotes.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="homeschool with confidence course guides" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r_jiWzbn28Y/YGSu5Y0oZJI/AAAAAAAAtTM/qxAXR4zPDAsipLE-60V7sl2XVflcdWnUgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/homeschool%2Bwith%2Bconfidence%2Bnotes.png" width="640" /></a></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Workbook (PDF)</h4><p>An easy to print workbook, designed to help you map your homeschool journey with ease, packed with guided prompts so you can build upon the insights gained through the course each week insha'Allah.</p><p>Most week's (not all) you will work through simple assignments intended to help you process each class and reflect upon what your homeschool needs.

For those who haven't yet heard, let me fill you in.</p><p>Mums Unstuck is the first of its kind parenting membership subscription like no other! It's for Muslim mums who want to take their parenting skills and personal growth to the next level, insha'Allah. </p><p>They say it takes a village to raise a child...well I say it takes said village to support that mum in raising both her child and herself! Mums Unstuck will be that village for us all, bi'ithnillah. </p><p>Every month we're going to dive in deep to the issues that are going to help you raise your parenting game and feel confident about yourself as a mother insha'Allah.</p><p>We'll explore topics you might expect from a parenting membership such as confident parenting, boosting connections, overcoming tantrums, handling sibling rivalry and positive discipline. And more that you might not expect, such as how to coach teens through exams or how to encourage your children to adopt a growth mindset and reach their best potential, bi'ithnillah. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Mums Unstuck Is As Much About YOU As It Is Your Parenting</span></h3><p>This is a membership that offers so much more than just parent skill development. It is a monthly journey to unravel the relationship you have with yourself and your own goals and aspirations beyond motherhood.</p><p>I hear from mums all the time who feel stuck. They want more for themselves and their children but are not sure what to do. They wouldn't change being a mother for anything, but somewhere along the way have got a little lost and forgotten who they are. </p><p><a href="https://www.mumsunstuck.com/membership" target="_blank">Mums Unstuck</a> is for Muslim women who want to develop their parenting skills and know-how alongside doing the inner work on their own growth outside of being a mum. It is a parenting membership that understands how you feel about yourself as an individual massively impacts how you parent because when you grow, your children grow too. </p><p>You see it doesn't matter how many amazing things you and your children do and it doesn't matter how many great parenting strategies you might use, because if you don't feel good about yourself, you simply won't see any of it. You will see the molehill issues and turn them into gigantic mountains that paralyse you. </p><p>When you feel good about yourself, you walk different, your talk different, you PARENT different. And it is this difference that impacts your ability to be the amazing mother and role model you want to be. </p><p>A major part of Mums Unstuck is this journey of self-discovery, helping you through coaching to uncover your own identity, goals and aspirations outside of your parenting role, because you are more than "just" a mum. You are a servant of Allah, a wife, a daughter, a friend, a sibling and so much more. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rqVdJk9r72I/YQZHe0bvciI/AAAAAAAAyIo/UJ9AB4c0zHIGMz8euU72dDnZ3-4mAbI3QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="parenting membership for muslim mums" border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rqVdJk9r72I/YQZHe0bvciI/AAAAAAAAyIo/UJ9AB4c0zHIGMz8euU72dDnZ3-4mAbI3QCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/3.png" width="640" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Every Month Brings Something New</span></h3><p>Every month offers new content dropped into the member's area every Sunday, insha'Allah....</p><p><b>1st Sunday: Personal Growth</b></p><p>The first week of the month is all about developing the relationship with yourself, using reflective coaching to undergo a personal journey of growth and transformation to raise or reparent the incredible Muslimah you are...because you are more than only mum.</p><p><b>2nd Sunday: Education</b></p><p>The second week of the month is the main event -our live parenting workshop, helping you to build the relationships with your children. We'll cover a different topic every month looking at positive discipline, engaging children in their learning, managing emotions, building confidence, resiliency and mindset and so much more. <br />Each month you'll add new skills and discoveries to your parent and educator toolkit, providing you with coaching tools to help you implement key learnings with your family, insha'Allah.</p><p><b>3rd Sunday: Momentum</b></p><p>The third week we go back again to focus on your personal growth and transformation because how you feel about yourself massively impacts how you show up as a parent.

We had made the choice to not send our children to school and anyone who did, was doing a disservice to their family. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I look back at those early years now and consider them to be one of my biggest face-palm moments.</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Alhamdulillah with age comes experience and wisdom. Something I have learned as I matured and came to understand life a little better is that you can be right, without making everyone else wrong. And this is what I want you my dear sister, to understand too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It is super easy to unwittingly judge others who take a different path as making the wrong move because it is a way to ensure we validate our own decisions. We don't want to be wrong about the choices we have made for our children and so to convince ourselves we're doing the right thing, everyone else doing the opposite must be wrong.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The truth is, choices you make for your family’s education are right for you. Your choice to home educate doesn’t mean everyone else who goes to school is wrong. And likewise, your choice to school, doesn’t make everyone else who home educates wrong either.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">What we need to realise is that we all must do what is best for us according to the circumstances we find ourselves in and the resources available to us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Some have access to excellent schools while others don’t.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Some can afford the fees of sound Islamic schools, when others can not.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Some are married and have the support of a husband. Some don’t.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Some are married and suffering daily abuse.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Some are battling chronic illnesses from terminal diseases to depression that paralyses while everyone else is healthy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The schools available to some are terrible and will destroy any child who goes there. Others enable a child to thrive. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Some children have learning differences schools simply don’t support. Others don’t.<br />Or, some children have learning differences a parent just doesn't know how to manage.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The point is, none of us are the same. Your right choice doesn’t negate someone else’s. Nor someone else’s yours.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">At the end of the day, every parent is responsible for the education choices they make for their children. Whether a child is home educated or schooled, the responsibility lays with the parent. Every parent must take that responsibility seriously. And that choice is not for anyone else to judge.</div></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cgs5lZlBg4w/YLoAf13CVLI/AAAAAAAAw3E/HDcMOmsYzoI6TTIF8-2GF3Ea0fwscum0ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Education%2Bquote.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="School and homeschool quote" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cgs5lZlBg4w/YLoAf13CVLI/AAAAAAAAw3E/HDcMOmsYzoI6TTIF8-2GF3Ea0fwscum0ACLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/Education%2Bquote.png" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352794943231964483.post-2740495000947398622021-05-20T21:32:00.000-07:002021-05-20T21:32:05.085-07:00You CAN homeschool with confidence<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GTe5L_uyRLA/YKaGMT_gZdI/AAAAAAAAvxo/Ws4tgY0ZjfURd4f3cLbp9JOZhulHWNhxACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/homeschool%2Bwith%2Bconfidence%2Bbecause%2Byou%2Bcan.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Homeschool With Confidence for Muslim mums" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GTe5L_uyRLA/YKaGMT_gZdI/AAAAAAAAvxo/Ws4tgY0ZjfURd4f3cLbp9JOZhulHWNhxACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/homeschool%2Bwith%2Bconfidence%2Bbecause%2Byou%2Bcan.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /> Hey sis, yes you....the one who is doubting whether you really are cut out to educate your family without school. I have a secret to share......<p></p><p>Confident homeschool mummas are not born....they are BUILT!</p><p>We all want to be confident we're doing the right thing. <br />We want to be confident this thing called homeschool will all work out in the end.<br />We want to be confident we won't ruin the kids future and give them every opportunity for success!</p><p>The truth is, there is no way to know what will happen tomorrow, let alone five, ten, fifteen or even twenty years in the future. Whether we chose homeschool or school, those same concerns will still be there, it's just for some reason we seem to be a little more aware of them when we chose to home educate. </p><p>Confidence grows with time and experience. And you only get experience by pulling up your sleeves and jumping in. </p><p>I started homeschool when my first-born was four. At the time of writing this she is now fifteen. We have completed primary education from reception class through to year 6, and gone through secondary education from year 7 to year 10. She completed four GCSE's this year (12 months earlier than her schooled peers) with the rest to complete next summer insha'Allah. If you asked me all those years ago when I started if we would make it this far, I'd have told you no! Never in a million years did I expect I would ever homeschool, let alone make it all the way through to the end of compulsory education Alhamdulillah. Indeed all praise is due to Allah. </p><p>I'll tell you what has got me to my 11th homeschool year through all the ups and downs; the constant questioning of whether I'm doing the right thing along with the random attacks of self-doubt. If you have been following me a while you'll already have heard this story - but it's a good one to hear again and I love telling it because the lesson it gives has served me well, Alhamdulillah...</p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a>A couple of years after I began home educating I had the opportunity to speak to a homeschool veteran. This mumma was indeed a veteran; she had unschooled all of her children, the youngest of whom was then 18 and just graduated (they're American). <p></p><p>I asked her, what do you do with that niggling voice at the back of your head that makes you constantly question am I doing the right thing?</p><p>She leaned forward, looked me straight in the eye and said.....</p><p>"That voice never goes away until the kids grow up and homeschool is *done*. So get COMFORTABLE being uncomfortable".<br /></p><p>BOOM!</p><p>That there is the ONE piece of advice that has kept me going all these years alhamdulillah. The one piece of advice that has helped to hush my doubts and encouraged me to keep pushing forward. </p><p>Those concerns, those worries and anxieties we have are what keep responsible parents on our toes. It is what helps us to not become complacent and ensure that we do indeed give our children everything they need to thrive, bi'ithnillah.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tKYzQy9wuC0/YKcwqj03MkI/AAAAAAAAvyY/iz72atgmyDMLU7VXEllkEvWu6IJDhOsGgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/homeschool%2Bconfidence.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="muslim homeschool" border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tKYzQy9wuC0/YKcwqj03MkI/AAAAAAAAvyY/iz72atgmyDMLU7VXEllkEvWu6IJDhOsGgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/homeschool%2Bconfidence.png" width="640" /></a></div><p>If you want to homeschool with confidence, then you have to....</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Learn to get COMFORTABLE with not knowing how this will all turn out and enjoy the adventure.</span> </h3><p>Whether you chose school or homeschool, both have their share of challenges - there is no escape. The only difference being that the challenges each option gives may differ. </p><p>Worrying about a tomorrow that may not even happen, steals the joy out of today and when you finally reach that distant tomorrow, you'll likely look back with regret at all the fun you missed out on while you were consumed on making sure everything was done "right". </p><p>Instead of being so focused on the future, stay present and do what you need to do to make TODAY a success. Because if you make today successful, and do this every day that follows, then your children will reach next week, next month, next year or several, with everything they need to succeed, bi'ithnillah.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Learn to TRUST yourself and your ability to deliver the best for your family.</span></h3><p>Rest assured that if you are a responsible, engaged and interested parent, you have what even the best teachers in the world can never compete with...</p><p>YOU. WILL. NEVER. GIVE. UP. ON. YOUR. KIDS.</p><p>EVER.</p><p>You will do all that it takes to make sure your children get everything they need, insha'Allah, because that's what parents do. Don't doubt that for a second. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Learn to TRUST your children because they are way more capable than you realise!</span></h3><p>Children are so much more capable that many of us ever realise.....certainly more capable that the mainstream education system gives them credit for.</p><p>All that children need are opportunities and a welcome invitation to learn, discover and explore. If you don't believe me, take a look at your children and pay attention to what areas of knowledge and skills they have picked up without any adult intervention, simply because they were interested themselves. </p><p>Children know how to learn. All we need to do is provide the right opportunities and environment. Our job is to continue to fuel a child's natural curiosity about the world just as we'd continue to lay down logs to keep a fire alight. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Learn to TRUST the whole homeschool process</span></h3><p>You have to trust the homeschool process and understand that you're in this to win the marathon, not the sprint. Homeschool isn't school and it simply doesn't work in the same way....not if you want to stay sane and happy anyway! </p><p>Homeschool requires a different way of thinking, a different way of understanding education and how learning looks within the home rather than school. Trust these differences, and trust that it will all work out, insha'Allah.</p><p>John Holt, an early pioneer for (secular) home education, famously said:</p><p>"Any child who can spend an hour or two a day, or more if he wants, with adults that he likes, who are interested in the world and like to talk about it, will on most days learn far more from their talk than he would learn in a week of school."</p><p>You're in prime position to spend more than an hour or two a day with your children, and your interest in talking to them about the world as well as introducing them to others who can is something that doesn't need to be forced. It is something you simply do as part of family life.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Most importantly, learn to TRUST the One for Whom you are ultimately striving to do all this for</span></h3><p>Ultimately, no matter what our reasons for choosing homeschool may be, no matter what benefits we see or what is behind our why, the number one reason any of us take this path is to please the One Who Created us. And so, never give up in making dua'a and trusting that Allah will settle your family's affairs. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LLdC4Yi6BF4/YKcyg8_hflI/AAAAAAAAvyg/jcvSzLc1rVAuG5LSV-pO_ybuZRlqWZ41ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/homeschool.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="homeschool family fun" border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LLdC4Yi6BF4/YKcyg8_hflI/AAAAAAAAvyg/jcvSzLc1rVAuG5LSV-pO_ybuZRlqWZ41ACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/homeschool.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><p>If you're looking for someone to hold your hand and help you transform from overwhelmed and burned-out to excited and confident about your ability to homeschool, please do consider joining my <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2021/03/homeschoolcourse.html" target="_blank">Homeschool With Confidence programme</a>.

And that's when feelings of guilt, shame, and inadequacy rain down upon our shoulders, thinking we've taken on more than we could chew.</div><div><br /></div><div>I often hear from mothers who feel inadequate because they find it difficult to manage their frustration and patience. They find it difficult to maintain energy while fasting. They find it difficult keeping up momentum and motivation. They have high aspirations, wanting to achieve amazing things with their family, and beat themselves up when feeling they fall short. </div><div><br /></div><div>We don't often talk about the everyday struggles of parenting during Ramadan because we focus on its benefits. And because we don't talk about the struggles, it leaves many of us with those feelings of inadequacy when we feel we don't live up to what we hoped we would, thinking no one else shares the same difficulties we face. </div><div><br /><div>What I want to do through this workshop, is share with you how you can prepare yourself to manage the everyday parenting and educating of your children through Ramadan, insha’Allah. To help you discover what is important for you and your family so you can focus on those things. And to give you some simple strategies to help when you feel overwhelm and fatigue creeping in and prodding at your patience. </div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XqB_R1to4Lo/YFNMU__ljXI/AAAAAAAAs80/81Jb1pJNFf0QPOytjF-xZ3xKh0Tr9KKlgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/ramadan%2Bworkshop%2Bfor%2Bmums.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XqB_R1to4Lo/YFNMU__ljXI/AAAAAAAAs80/81Jb1pJNFf0QPOytjF-xZ3xKh0Tr9KKlgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/ramadan%2Bworkshop%2Bfor%2Bmums.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Interactive Workshop </span></h3><div><br /></div><div>Being a parent is the most rewarding as well as the most important job you'll ever do in your life.

But hiring either can be expensive. This is an opportunity to have the guidance of a mentor and several coaching sessions without the heavy price tag.</p><p><b>Reason #4</b><br />Unlike other planners, this planning kit not only helps you design and set up your homeschool experience and lessons, but it will also show you how to reboot when your mojo has taken a dip so you can get back in the driver's seat and enjoy the homeschool ride again.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R-3yJ6pzKVk/YCeF_st6iSI/AAAAAAAAsc0/qjqEIOhr9LAXCxGMvIE3rFa_ceYoMzIngCLcBGAsYHQ/s1387/Homeschool%2BPlanner.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Homeschool Planner quote" border="0" data-original-height="1387" data-original-width="1280" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R-3yJ6pzKVk/YCeF_st6iSI/AAAAAAAAsc0/qjqEIOhr9LAXCxGMvIE3rFa_ceYoMzIngCLcBGAsYHQ/w590-h640/Homeschool%2BPlanner.jpeg" width="590" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Design, Map, Plan And Reboot Your Homeschool</span></h3><p>With a 14 section planner bundle, each section is accompanied by how-to videos so you have everything you need to design and sustain your homeschool for success, bi'ithnillah. </p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Homeschool Organiser<br /></b>Organise your homeschool and design your week, the easy way. Guided exercises to walk you through building a solid routine and an effortless strategy to keep your lessons consistent.<br /><br /></li><li><b>Our Calendar<br /></b>Map out your year with monthly overviews including both Gregorian and Hijri options.

This information is key as you prepare to facilitate meaningful learning opportunities to help your children grow. In this section, each of your children will be put under the microscope to discover what else you can see. I'll show you how to set effective goals and if you have a child who is behind, you'll be prompted to map out what to do next.<br /> </li><li><b>Priority Planner</b><br />When overwhelm and stress creeps in because there is too much to do, the priority planner will show you how to identify what matters most to the success of your day. <br /><br /></li><li><b>Lesson Planner</b><br />A range of planning pages to chose from (you won't use them all!) to help you map out your full homeschool year, a four-week outline, a week ahead, unit studies or a new topic, prepare individual lessons, plan hadith or an ayah a week/month and a Qur'an tracker for the kids....plus, how to "Plan" if you unschool or can't get your head around planning in advance. <br /><br /></li><li><b>Morning Time Planner</b><br />Get your morning time/morning basket routine organised and prepped so you can smoothly transition from rest into the hustle of your homeschool day.<br /><br /></li><li><b>Organising Home</b><br />Home is the foundation of your homeschool, so it makes sense to carve the path to successfully manage it, giving you more time to focus on the things that really matter (and I'm sure that's not keeping a bottle of bleach in your hand!)<br /><br /></li><li><b>Self-Care</b><br />You are the beating heart of your family. When muma is happy, the house is happy. When muma is stressed, the whole house shakes! Looking after yourself is crucial to your ability to look after those you love. That's why you'll have a whole section dedicated just for you.<br /><br /></li><li><b>Monthly Reflections</b><br />A powerful exercise to add to your homeschool toolkit that will allow you to be at the top of your homeschool game month after month, insha'Allah. <br /><br /></li><li><b>A Year Of inspiration</b><br />Your professional development as a mother and educator starts here, with a simple exercise to help you build your very own hub of wisdom.<br /><br /></li><li><b>My Homeschool reboot</b><br />Not every day is going to be sunshine and rainbows. When homeschool starts to feel a little sticky and you're losing momentum, it's time for a reboot. Here you'll discover how to close the gap from where your homeschool currently is, and where you want it to be, so you can rejuvenate your homeschool passion insha'Allah. <br /><br /></li><li><b>Our Ramadan Action Plan</b><br />Discover with your children what you want to do this Ramadan with a four-part family activity, to help you map out your month; deciding whether you'll continue with homeschool or not. </li></ol><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QzsZ1zEorIA/YCeTpeIugjI/AAAAAAAAsdU/XM_a_VDJbhgaOuz58OTf20pD3BMP4RHnwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/Homeschool%2Bplanning%2Bkit%2Bbundle.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Homeschool Planner bundle" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QzsZ1zEorIA/YCeTpeIugjI/AAAAAAAAsdU/XM_a_VDJbhgaOuz58OTf20pD3BMP4RHnwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/Homeschool%2Bplanning%2Bkit%2Bbundle.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Building The Homeschool Of Your Dreams Couldn't Be Easier with supporting videos</span></h3><p>I want to make sure you can confidently walk away and start building the homeschool of your dreams so I have created a series of videos to accompany each of the 14 sections, offering you a mini crash course to everything related to homeschool planning!</p><p>You'll view a function overview of key pages with some examples to get you started....together with a little homeschool advice sprinkled in throughout (how could I not?).</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BBQFjFYHvBk/YCeGdO22pcI/AAAAAAAAsc8/FUjT0Joy1HEqv1T6jhtcfYruf1wjCzgTACLcBGAsYHQ/s1280/homeschool%2Bplanning%2Bkit%2Bvideos.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Homeschool Planner video series" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BBQFjFYHvBk/YCeGdO22pcI/AAAAAAAAsc8/FUjT0Joy1HEqv1T6jhtcfYruf1wjCzgTACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/homeschool%2Bplanning%2Bkit%2Bvideos.png" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Reuse this Kit year after year without paying a penny more!</span></h3><p>Since this is a PDF planner that you will be required to print, it means you don't have to wait for shipping time and can get started right away! </p><p>It also means you can reprint and reuse year after year.

The vast majority of those questions and challenges are the same. It doesn’t matter where we live in the world or what our cultural background may be, the crux of our difficulties, anxieties and concerns are incredibly similar. </p><p>I wanted to do something more than just offer a few lines of advice in a social media reply, and have produced several free ebooks in an attempt to help provide some support and direction. However, I know that’s not enough. I want to do more. Sometimes you need to physically hear that advice and guidance instead of just reading it. Sometimes the spoken word has a more significant impact because the human voice brings about connection. There is something about hearing a voice that offers a greater sense of understanding.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-shvHfudHHvw/X9HIwRGFFAI/AAAAAAAAr0g/vduiAg-39eECh-WY9VAJwO1erG9tYxM3QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/homeschool%2Bunstuck%2Blive%2Bevents.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Muslim homeschool questions answered" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-shvHfudHHvw/X9HIwRGFFAI/AAAAAAAAr0g/vduiAg-39eECh-WY9VAJwO1erG9tYxM3QCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/homeschool%2Bunstuck%2Blive%2Bevents.png" width="640" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Homeschool Unstuck Live Event</span></h3><p>I am incredibly excited to announce the launch of a brand new free event running the <b>first Sunday of every month</b> insha'Allah.

Most of us don't have any experience of home education until we jump right into it. Figuring out what we "should" be doing can be daunting. Having a mentor saves you time learning what has taken others years to discover and understand, as well as <b>avoid or overcome rookie mistakes!</b></p><p><a href="https://coursecraft.net/c/homeschoolwithconfidence" target="_blank">Homeschool With Confidence</a> will provide you with this dedicated mentorship, and more than this, adds a dose of coaching alongside to help you find the answers you need that work for you. Because it is your answers that matter, not mine. With the course materials you receive, you'll be guided through finding those individual answers that are right for your family.</p><p>When you want to understand home education, it is not the teachers or the educationists who can help with information and support. Yes they can certainly benefit. But it isn't these who can provide a comprehensive understanding of educating at home without school. When you want to know about homeschool then you have to go to the homeschooling mum. The homeschool mother is what I like to call the university professor to everything that is homeschool. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4WsXTU3FU74/X7yuY6RY-9I/AAAAAAAArxk/I-KoZxpnWlY5xYbIEiFuRJjrYWXr_OEbgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/10%2Bmore%2Bhomeschool%2Bbooks%2Byou%2Bshould%2Bread.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="muslim homeschool" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4WsXTU3FU74/X7yuY6RY-9I/AAAAAAAArxk/I-KoZxpnWlY5xYbIEiFuRJjrYWXr_OEbgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/10%2Bmore%2Bhomeschool%2Bbooks%2Byou%2Bshould%2Bread.png" width="640" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666;">Taylor a customised education for your unique family</span></h3><p>My objective is not to provide a one-size-fits-all homeschool methodology, because no two families are the same.

Nor is home education limited to learning in the home in the same way that school is restricted to learning within the school. </p><p>What often comes to mind when people think of homeschoolers, are families sitting around the kitchen table ploughing through dull textbooks, trapped inside all day with no one to talk to. What they imagine is an awful and isolated version of school that no one wants to be a part of, but instead, inside the home. </p><p>The truth could not be further from this poorly imagined narrative. </p><p>While some families certainly do follow school-style curriculum at home, home educators are in fact free to educate according to the needs of their child and this can be done in many different ways...with or without a workbook...and beyond the four walls of a house.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lOB2YpYnkZo/X1FsIPn03gI/AAAAAAAArJE/Ql2BfObSPRs_Xaaniybu3IE-blHvxBlAgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/homeschool.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="What is homeschool" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lOB2YpYnkZo/X1FsIPn03gI/AAAAAAAArJE/Ql2BfObSPRs_Xaaniybu3IE-blHvxBlAgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/homeschool.png" width="640" /></a></div><p>There isn’t a standard one-size-fits-all approach that works for everyone. For as many families that you find home educating, you will find just as many approaches because every household is different. Home education honours all our differences in a way that schools simply cannot. </p><p>Every family will have their own method of homeschooling, often inspired by the education philosophy they adopt that is adapted to suit the personality of their home. This may change as the years go by, and children reach new stages in their learning development. Homeschools grow and change as often as children do.</p><p>Whether families follow school-style textbooks and curriculum or abandon them completely to follow their children’s individual interests; quite often many are a subtle blend between the two depending on the age of the child and stage in their education. The wonderment of homeschool is the freedom to be able to try different ideas as you would try on new clothes to see how they fit. You keep what you like and makes you feel good whilst returning the others that don’t – and not everyone looks the same with the same dress.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MJvxIIWRzWM/X1FyhmIuNQI/AAAAAAAArJM/whEpHH4kqSIvJm9e_Pp1Qa44i8J4WPBbQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/What%2BIs%2BHome%2BEducation_%2B%25284%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="what is homeschooling" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MJvxIIWRzWM/X1FyhmIuNQI/AAAAAAAArJM/whEpHH4kqSIvJm9e_Pp1Qa44i8J4WPBbQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/What%2BIs%2BHome%2BEducation_%2B%25284%2529.png" width="640" /></a></div><p>You may find that a free-flowing play-based style of learning transforms into something more structured as the children enter new seasons of life, or that a programme everyone once enjoyed now brings boredom. It is this freedom to make adaptions and changes when something no longer serves us that homeschool families thrive on. It’s the ability to change your homeschool wardrobe when something no longer fits. </p><p>Homeschoolers enjoy the freedom to be able to choose when and where learning happens. Most will tell you that some form of learning is going on from the minute the children wake up until the minute they fall asleep at night. You can’t stop them.</p><p>Parks, museums, libraries, play-dates, afterschool clubs, workshops, tuition classes, co-ops and more are all avenues which help to shape many learning experiences for homeschooling families. </p><p>You have to understand that everything you know about school – does not apply to home education. What works in school doesn’t work in the home, because school is school and home is home.</p><p>Homeschool is home. <br />It is family. <br />It is relationships.<br />It is a lifestyle.</p><p>Homeschool is freedom.<br />Freedom to personalise education.<br />Freedom to embrace and highlight areas of strengths rather than weakness.<br />Freedom to protect childhood.</p><p>Homeschool is freedom to learn without constrictions.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-51PLFOlEadM/X1FzDDkgODI/AAAAAAAArJU/GdadjaDVnLQot5_WeS6QC86sZ6uIUqCNQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1500/What%2BIs%2BHome%2BEducation_%2B%25286%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="What is homeschool" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-51PLFOlEadM/X1FzDDkgODI/AAAAAAAArJU/GdadjaDVnLQot5_WeS6QC86sZ6uIUqCNQCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/What%2BIs%2BHome%2BEducation_%2B%25286%2529.png" width="426" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352794943231964483.post-75152113544230583502020-08-18T11:40:00.055-07:002020-08-19T04:11:50.865-07:00Homeschool Planning For Muslim Mums<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6Ia8c5HJcIs/XzwIEdYnrSI/AAAAAAAArE4/dScfnL7aP9EpMG0eDUYXwnglLD4jnEVOACLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/Homeschool%2BPlanning%2B101%2Bworkshop.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Homeschool Planning workshop for muslim mums" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6Ia8c5HJcIs/XzwIEdYnrSI/AAAAAAAArE4/dScfnL7aP9EpMG0eDUYXwnglLD4jnEVOACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/Homeschool%2BPlanning%2B101%2Bworkshop.png" width="640" /></a></div><p>One thing I would say when it comes to planning homeschool, is try to make it a pleasurable experience for yourself. Give yourself time to do it, ideally undisturbed while the kids are busy, in bed, or off being entertained by Dad. Having this quietness without distraction is going to help you to focus and enjoy the experience. Grab your favourite drink, resources and planner. Set yourself up so you have everything you need in front of you at hand, and you're set to go. </p><p>But what if you're not too sure on effective methods for homeschool planning? What if you don't know where to start or what you need? </p><p>If you're looking for a homeschool planning 101, I'm your girl. I'm excited to be opening up the planning masterclasses from the <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2020/04/homeschoolconfidence.html">Homeschool With Confidence</a> 16-week course, to offer a 2-day workshop if you didn't want to sign up for the whole course series.</p><p>When it comes to homeschool, anxiety often flairs up when we feel we are not in control because we don't know what we should be doing. And an anxious mum makes for a stressful homeschool experience. I know myself, when I have everything set in order and ready, the week runs smoothly Alhamdulillah. When I don't, then my anxiety monster cranks his weight heavy upon my shoulders. </p><p>One thing I have learned over a decade of home educating is that planning doesn't have to be hard. Nor does it need to take forever to do. Certainly, you don't want to be spending more time preparing your lessons than it takes the kids to actually get through them. That would be madness! Homeschool planning can even be quite fun....yes, it can. Having a plan gives you a roadmap. It isn't inscribed upon a stone tablet that you're unable to deviate from. If you come across a more scenic route you're free to take it. But having the map helps you to find direction. This is what homeschool planning does. It offers a guide to allow you to move toward your objectives but doesn't need to enslave you. </p><p>Over two weeks, I'll share with you some simple methods for homeschool planning so that you can feel empowered and in control insha'Allah. I'll show you how to plan using my printable planner that you'll receive as an attendee as well as introduce you to how you can create your own custom made planner to meet all your unique needs, using an ordinary notebook.</p><p>Let's take a look at what we'll cover over the two masterclasses bi'ithnillah....</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H3kT3MXAu9g/XzwfBadp3aI/AAAAAAAArFo/toLRUT5iHF8gKugCR0pvR9HWfhdPv4ZcACLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/know%2Byour%2Bchildren.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Knowing your children so you can homeschool plan" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H3kT3MXAu9g/XzwfBadp3aI/AAAAAAAArFo/toLRUT5iHF8gKugCR0pvR9HWfhdPv4ZcACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/know%2Byour%2Bchildren.png" width="640" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Class 1: Knowing Your Child</span></h3><div><br /></div><div>In this first session, we'll lay the foundation with what I call the primer to successful planning: knowing your children. </div><div>Your children are at the centre of your homeschool efforts, so we'll begin with them in mind and work through some gentle exercises together to help you figure out who your little people are so you can equip them with what they need as you put your plans together later. </div><div>By the end of the class, you will have decided what kind of planner you will want to use (because there isn't a one-size-fits-all) together with having a clearer picture of each of your children's needs and objectives or goals for the next 12 months.</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Class 2: To Plan Or Not To Plan</span></h3><div><br /></div><div>Our second session will walk you through using the printable planner as well as show you how to plan without a pre-made planner using your own individual customised notebook or journal so you have a choice on what suits you best.</div><div>We will explore:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Setting up your printable or custom planner</li><li>Address the differences between yearly, monthly and weekly planning options</li><li>Monthly Relective planning</li><li>4 week lesson outline to map out an overview of 4 weeks of homeschool</li><li>Topic planning / designing your own lesson</li><li>Planning without a plan...because sometimes life happens!</li><li>Example lesson plans using both the pre-made planner and customised journal </li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zpVrHB-FTns/XzwdRvvzbNI/AAAAAAAArFg/6SRoUNMBaB8XbhpX840DX5kT52uiHLhjACLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/homeschool%2Bplanning%2B.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="homeschool planning" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zpVrHB-FTns/XzwdRvvzbNI/AAAAAAAArFg/6SRoUNMBaB8XbhpX840DX5kT52uiHLhjACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/homeschool%2Bplanning%2B.png" width="640" /></a></div></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">What attendees receive</span></h3><p>Participants will receive:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>2 live classes </li><li>Both class replays so you can review later or view at a time more convenient to you</li><li>Ink-friendy class notes PDF (ideal for printing)</li><li>Colour class notes as an eBook PDF (ideal for digital viewing with full-colour images throughout)</li><li>Bonus: Invitation to my members-only Telegram group.

I don't know about you, but I'm a big believer in continuing to develop my skills and understanding to help my role as both a mother and an educator. I've read many books over the years and have found them to be invaluable. Right in your hand, you're able to peek inside the brains of experts within the field of education and parenting to take benefit from them without even needing to leave the comfort of your home. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
In my <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2020/07/homeschoolbookrecommendations.html" target="_blank">last post</a> I mentioned how important it is for us to continue our own <i>professional development </i>as home educators throughout our whole educating and parenting career not only at the beginning when we first jump in.<br />
<div>
Even if you're not a homeschooler, as a parent this idea of professional development is still incredibly important so you can continue to grow as your children do.<br />
<div>
In that post I shared <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2020/07/homeschoolbookrecommendations.html" target="_blank">ten books you should read if you're a home educator</a> or looking to find out more about homeschool.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Reading is a resourceful way to give yourself almost like a university-level self-education on a budget, by picking out the books written by the experts in various fields.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I want to share ten more that will help to develop an understanding of how children learn, and how we can reach them as parents as we mentor and coach them through their own learning journey. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Again, like I mentioned in the earlier post, these are all secular books. So be aware of anything that is not aligned with Islamic values that might pop up.</div>
<div>
<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Mindset - Dr Carol S. Dweck</span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6mH4ZTR3xpQ/XwnY0MlgrFI/AAAAAAAAqzA/nzLcFMakeV8Dqo9GOE-RzjE_DK2S0U1YQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/mindset.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mindset" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6mH4ZTR3xpQ/XwnY0MlgrFI/AAAAAAAAqzA/nzLcFMakeV8Dqo9GOE-RzjE_DK2S0U1YQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/mindset.png" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm starting with a book that actually is not specifically about homeschool or parenting, but covers a topic that is massively important to the success of your homeschool or the way you parent.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've shared with the attendees of my <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2020/04/homeschoolconfidence.html" target="_blank">Homeschool With Confidence</a> course, that when it comes to the long term success of your homeschool, only about 20% of it is down to the actual work you and your children do. The remaining 80% is down to your perception and how you feel about it all. It is the stuff that is in your head. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are stressed and anxious, it honestly won't matter how many amazing things your children do because you simply won't see it. You will see all the things that you perceive as going wrong, and blow up small molehills into huge mountains.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That's why getting your mindset right is so incredibly important. This book, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mindset-Updated-Changing-Fulfil-Potential/dp/147213995X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Mindset&qid=1594558387&s=books&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Mindset</a>, provides a brilliant look into the effects of having a fixed and growth mindset. Mindset is so much more than just thinking negatively or positively. It is about finding solutions to obstacles and being kinder to yourself and others. It's about working to reach your personal best and helping others to reach their best too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You'll find the chapters explore mindset in relation to various areas of life, work and education. The chapter for Parents, Teachers and Coaches is excellent and will help show you how important your role is in helping your children learn and grow. </div>

Again, this is not a homeschool or parenting book, however I feel is hugely beneficial in helping you within these roles.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What you'll learn through this book is how to get over challenges that set you back so that you can reach your best insha'Allah. As well as providing you with an understanding of how to make that transformation yourself, you'll read from the experiences of a number of people who have found ways to overcome personal difficulties to uncover a whole new direction for themselves in relation to what they are capable of. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've included this title here simply because, as I explained in the previous review, how you view yourself and your capabilities will significantly impact how you see your role as mum and educator. You need to focus on your own goals as well as helping meet the goals of your family. Not only that, understanding how you can make breakthroughs yourself, will help you tremendously in helping your children to power through to make theirs.<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">The Growth Mindset Coach - Annie Brock and Heather Hundley</span></h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ibfPQJZtYpY/XwpeLu9-gMI/AAAAAAAAq0g/_zr0EmY0g009lJQ1myR0_FKphc46D8ixwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/The%2BMindset%2BCoach.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Growth Mindset Coach" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ibfPQJZtYpY/XwpeLu9-gMI/AAAAAAAAq0g/_zr0EmY0g009lJQ1myR0_FKphc46D8ixwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/The%2BMindset%2BCoach.png" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is another fantastic book that I think every house should have, regardless of whether or not you home educate.<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Growth-Mindset-Coach-Month-Month/dp/1612436013/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=The+Growth+Mindset+Coach&qid=1594558312&s=books&sr=1-1" target="_blank">The Growth Mindset Coach </a>is actually written intended for teachers in the classroom, providing a year-long plan to help you learn and teach mindset to students. However, it works brilliantly in the home.<br />
<br />
This is the book I used to start teaching my children the importance of mindset and I have to tell you, I saw a massive change in my kids attitudes to what they felt they were capable of doing and how they handled making mistakes (my kids were known to rip out pages from books when they made a mistake...everything had to be perfect until discovering mindset).<br />
<br />
You'll find a month by month guide of information and lessons to implement with the kids, offering practical hands-on activities to really understand the power of the brain and the difference mindset can make.<br />
<br />
I remember reading about a study (I think it might have been in Carol Dweks Mindset above) that children who were taught about mindset alongside their regular revision lessons, did better in exams than those who didn't.<br />
<br />
The activities in this book are really easy to follow and even if your children are in school, you could easily do these as a fun family activity every weekend.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Written by a neuroscientist and a (secular) parenting expert, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Whole-Brain-Child-Strategies-Nurture-Developing/dp/1780338376/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=The+Whole-Brain+Child&qid=1594558279&s=books&sr=1-1" target="_blank">The Whole-Brain Child</a> shares with us the science behind the growing child's brain together with clear direction in helping to explain the strategies discussed with your child. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Children are learning all the time about themselves and their place in this world. It is easy for them to get carried away in the midst of their emotions or immediate wanting demands. As a parent, I have to confess I haven't always known how to handle this. Even now with a teen, I'm still learning and developing my skill level within this. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I've benefited from this book, is the practical examples it provides that walk you through talking with your child in various situations, ranging from the tantruming toddler who doesn't want to get dressed, through to a tween who is fixated worrying about something that is going to happen. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Knowing how to help our children come out of heavy feelings, worries, struggles or even their demands, so that they understand how they can take control and see the bigger picture outside of themselves, is such a valuable skill to have. This book helps show us how to do that, together with an understanding of how their brain is working. </div>

<div>
I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK.</div>
<div>
This is an awesome read, and a great one to read together with your family actually. It is written directly to children and teens so is intended for them to read themselves, however it is a book I've benefitted from greatly. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Like the title <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Learning-How-Learn-Spending-Studying/dp/0143132547/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n1_0?cv_ct_cx=Learning+How+To+Learn&dchild=1&keywords=Learning+How+To+Learn&pd_rd_i=0143132547&pd_rd_r=a3ec4b32-8253-49cd-969a-060ee63c55d4&pd_rd_w=TciHF&pd_rd_wg=WN9Do&pf_rd_p=3b853e83-6bf6-4856-96c6-ae2430a26fcf&pf_rd_r=9AG2TMBW1H2K23HVW9X5&psc=1&qid=1594557674&sr=1-1-c8b680f7-0dc9-4abe-aa5a-ccfde0ac07ae" target="_blank">Learning How To Learn</a> suggests, it explains to us how our brain learns....and because it was written with kids in mind as the intended audience, it makes it a super easy read for layman like me!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I see understanding how we learn to be as important as learning new information. Because when we have that understanding and awareness, it aid us in forging effective approaches that help us to take in and retain that new information we want to pursue. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This book will show you the science behind learning in a really simple and easy to understand format, providing you with effective tools to help. As a parent and educator, knowing how your child's brain learns and what can help it, will allow you to build strategies for learning into your homeschool day.<br />
Honestly, every home should have a copy of this book whether you're a homeschool family or not. As parents, we all have an invested interest in helping our children succeed in their education. This is a book that not only has helped me but my children also. </div>

I'm including this as one book recommendation...although it is three! </div>
<div>
<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gracious-Space-Reflections-Homeschooling-Commitment/dp/0990513327/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=A+Gracious+Space&qid=1594557626&sr=8-1" target="_blank">A Gracious Space</a> is a three-part series, written by the same author as The Brave Learner, who is the creator of the <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2017/08/home-schooling-with-bravewriter.html" target="_blank">Brave Writer</a> Curriculum. </div>
<div>
<br />
Each tittle packs a collection of 50 short essays intended to serve as a short daily reading that provides homeschool motivation and wisdom offered from a homeschool veteran.<br />
<br />
If you need a quick boost and a gentle voice to tell you everything will be okay, these are the books for you. They cover a whole range of topics from getting to know your children, to motherhood, to the way we communicate with the kids, to writing myths, to getting stuff done, to sustaining homeschool and so much more.<br />
<br />
They are short, sharp pieces of wisdom that may only be a couple of pages each, but pack a mighty powerful punch.<br />

<br />
It is an interesting read though not quite as light as some of the other books mentioned. I enjoy reading before bed, but I feel this is more of a day time read with a cup of tea and a pencil.<br />
<br />
What I found particularly interesting is the reference it makes to how competently a child is able to narrate (a child telling what he knows) and how that directly relates to his ability to read and write.<br />
The art of narration is a skill I often hear being practiced by many homeschool families. To be honest, I think whether you homeschool or not, if you are an interested and engaged parent you will do this naturally with your children as you encourage them to talk to you about experiences you've had together, books you've read and what their interests are.<br />
<br />
It isn't a book that provides strategies or how-to's, but rather, a little basic background information to the different stages of brain development, what can affect that, and what can be expected from a child.<br />
<br />
What I have taken from this, is perhaps some encouragement toward understanding my children are growing, and that it is a process that sometimes can not always be hurried.<br />

<br />
I've read a couple of other books by the same authors in their <i>How To Talk</i> series. <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Talk-Kids-Learn-Home-School/dp/1853407046/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=How+To+Talk+So+Kids+Can+Learn&qid=1594557540&s=audible&sr=1-1-catcorr" target="_blank">How To Talk So Kids Can Learn </a>is presented in the same style as the others, offering a whole host of experiences from a range of parents and teachers in dealing with children together with direct how-to examples.<br />
<br />
The authors provide practical examples of how to talk to children in different situations, looking at feelings that can inhibit learning, skills that help children to cooperate, self-discipline, partnership between the parent and child, and praise among other key points.<br />
<br />
Parenting and educating is not something that has come naturally to me. It is something that I really have to pay attention to and work on. I find the examples in this book really helpful in giving me some gentle guidelines and almost helps me to look at similar situations with my own children from a birdseye perspective; objectively.<br />
<br />
If you want something to help you formulate dialogue and help your children to make sense of their feelings so they can learn, this is the book for you.<br />

I came across this book after reading The Miracle Morning and felt I benefited from it. <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Miracle-Morning-Parents-Families-Bring/dp/B01LXIHP3T/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=The+Miracle+Morning+For+Parents+and+Families&qid=1594557512&sr=8-1" target="_blank">The Miracle Morning For Parents and Families </a>is essentially a parenting book that sets out how to get the best out of your family so you can all reach your full potential. To be honest a lot of it is common sense stuff, but sometimes we forget common sense and need a reminder!<br />
<br />
It helps to show you how to take control as a parent of your family, taking into consideration the importance of adequate rest and nutrition - something rarely spoken about when it comes to discussing how to better manage children.<br />
It provides practical guidance to become more productive and get all your ducks in a row so you can take responsibility for your actions in order to help your children thrive.<br />

All children are different, and we know that children respond differently to different ways of communication. I look at my own children and I know that they each get lit up by different things.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Love-Languages-Children-Secret-Effectively/dp/0802412858/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=The+5+Love+Languages+Of+Children&qid=1594557463&sr=8-1" target="_blank">The 5 Love Languages Of Children</a> walks us through 5 different methods of communication that children commonly may ascribe to: words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, receiving gifts and acts of service. Knowing which our children respond to can help us to be more effective in the way we communicate with them and let them feel loved.<br />
<br />
This is an incredibly insightful read that can help you to get to know your children more and understand what they need from you to get their emotional tank filled. And when a child's emotional tank is filled, they are usually more responsive and eager to engage.<br />
<br />
<b>So there we have it, 10 (technically 12) more books to help you on your homeschool and parenting adventure. </b><br />

Everyone knows grandma can cook. No one beats grandma's cooking. It is hard to imagine that she has ever burned the rice or dried out the chicken. But once upon a time, she probably did. She has just been cooking for so long now she has mastered the art (and we all enjoy the results!). She has found the recipe hacks and knows all the secrets. But it wasn't always that way.<br />
<br />
When you’re learning a new dish for the first time, it helps to have a recipe in front of you. Maybe you’ll try out several alternatives until you find the one that turns out just right.<br />
Once you have mastered this recipe, you’ll start to tweak it and throw in new ingredients, until it transforms into your VERY OWN signature dish that no one else can out-do.<br />
<br />
Discovering how to homeschool is like this dish you’re trying to make for the first time...<br />
Go out there and read the recipe books on homeschool, education, and how children learn.<br />
Use tried and tested recommendations from friends and make substitutes to please your palate.<br />
Let those ideas and insights sink in and give yourself time to practice using them, adjusting and adapting to suit your family’s tastes.<br />
What you’ll end up with is your own signature recipe for YOUR own perfect homeschool.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>One thing I am a big believer in is to invest in our <i>professional development as a home educator</i> no matter what stage of the adventure we are in. Continuing to read about homeschool, education, and the science of learning helps us to grow as educators. And make no doubt, as a homeschool parent you are an educator.<br />
<br />
I want to share a few of my favorite reads that I’ve benefited from over the last decade; however, there are far too many to put into one article. With so much information out there I also don't want to overwhelm.<br />
So we’ll begin here with just ten recommendations that serve well as <b>an introduction to home education</b> if you're looking to get started or are in need of a reboot. I’ve also put together a second article with another <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2020/07/homeschoolbookreviews.html" target="_blank">ten homeschool books</a> that I'd recommend to help develop your role as a parent and educator further.<br />
<br />
Don’t be fooled to think you have to be a new home educator to benefit from these first ten reads. While they do serve as a brilliant home ed primer for anyone new to homeschool, they also offer a fantastic reboot to those of us who have been home educating a while and are in need of some inspiration after feeling stuck.<br />
<br />
Each of these books has something unique to offer. While the contents naturally overlap somewhat, you'll find points that one book doesn't address, another does.<br />
<br />
Before I continue, I need to put out my disclaimer. These are secular reads for secular education. It goes without saying that we may find some ideas within that are not applicable to us as Muslim families. However in generality, these offer some amazing insights into the life of home education from this worldly perspective, in the same way that Muslim teachers benefit from secular works to learn how to teach and adapt them to suit our own needs. The world of homeschool is largely unknown to us until we begin, so these books help to offer us a small glimmer of insight as we dive in.<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">The Call Of The Wild And Free by Ainsley Arment</span></h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AZgmxphyJWM/Xv9Jaamd_EI/AAAAAAAAqrU/nK4viPYdVyQwBWL0VQwbHDuf598c83PWgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Wild%2Band%2Bfree.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Call Of The Wild And Free homeschool book recommendation " border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AZgmxphyJWM/Xv9Jaamd_EI/AAAAAAAAqrU/nK4viPYdVyQwBWL0VQwbHDuf598c83PWgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Wild%2Band%2Bfree.png" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This is a beautiful hardback book that offers an introduction to home education. I'd call it a homeschool primer that will give you a general overview of what home education can be.<br />
If you've been home educating a while, before you skip this thinking it will be of little value to you....wait!<br />
<br />
I've been home educating a decade Alhamdulillah. We have gone through the whole of primary from reception class and currently mid-way through secondary as my eldest prepares to sit her first set of GCSEs next summer insha'Allah. So you can see, we are not beginners to homeschool. Yet with this in mind, I purchased <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Call-Wild-Free-Reclaiming-Education/dp/0062916513/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=The+Call+Of+The+Wild+And+Free&qid=1593819302&s=books&sr=1-1" target="_blank">The Call Of The Wild And Free </a>earlier this year, and I have to tell you I benefited greatly from reading. I found within an unexpected homeschool reboot. I enjoyed it so much I sent a copy to a friend I knew just had to read it too!<br />
<br />
The book gives you a gentle overview to understand educating without school. It explores play, wonder, curiosity, and looks at the popular concerns or homeschool myths that often cloud people's judgments to address the truth behind these. It walks you through a brief introduction to some of the popular homeschool styles including Classical, Montessori, Charlotte Mason, Reggio Emilia (project based), Unschooling, and Waldorf. (I just want to highlight a red flag for Muslim home educators at this point. Waldorf education was founded by Rudolf Steiner, who had some major issues of concern in his beliefs. His beliefs were rooted in clairvoyance - the ability to contact the spirit world, karma, reincarnation and had some super racist beliefs in relation to this. Any good you may find from the Waldorf approach, you can find in other methods without the danger of stumbling into teaching something that could cause the misguidance of your family.)<br />
<br />
The book really does offer a lovely introduction to secular homeschool and shows you what it could be for your family. Just keep in mind what I mentioned about Waldorf education when you come across homeschool styles.<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">The Brave learner by Julie Bogart</span></h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kiKI85oiPog/Xv9SPiWEGjI/AAAAAAAAqrg/_FZAXpRFQncGdIFELZxuXmE7NQUxsvttACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/the%2Bbrave%2Blearner.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Brave Learner - homeschool book recommendation " border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kiKI85oiPog/Xv9SPiWEGjI/AAAAAAAAqrg/_FZAXpRFQncGdIFELZxuXmE7NQUxsvttACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/the%2Bbrave%2Blearner.png" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Ignore the use of the word magic on the cover subtitle, the word is used to generate ideas of wonder, and doesn't reference actual magic (it is a shame they used this word but it has no bearing on the contents of the book although I dislike its use here).<br />
<br />
It is another wonderful book that will help you to discover how awesome home education can be for your family and shows you how to build a homeschool that encourages wonder, curiosity and learning.<br />
<br />
If you want to see how learning without school can free you, and encourages your children to think, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brave-Learner-Everyday-Homeschool-Learning/dp/0143133225/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n1_0?cv_ct_cx=The+Brave+Learner&dchild=1&keywords=The+Brave+Learner&pd_rd_i=0143133225&pd_rd_r=29ddfdd6-cf81-448d-8690-e64955434b65&pd_rd_w=LZzi8&pd_rd_wg=SnymA&pf_rd_p=3b853e83-6bf6-4856-96c6-ae2430a26fcf&pf_rd_r=4EQ5XE61Q16XSA71J7CY&psc=1&qid=1593819261&sr=1-1-c8b680f7-0dc9-4abe-aa5a-ccfde0ac07ae" target="_blank">The Brave Learner</a> will help you do just that.<br />
<br />
It is another kind of homeschool primer than benefits both new and existing home educators, offering a way of homeschooling that Julie often refers to as the Brave Writer lifestyle. This book will show you how to instill homeschool habits that will help your children thrive and grow; with or without the use of a curriculum. It will help you to rest easy, bringing to you wisdoms that a veteran homeschooler can offer and clear guidance on finding a way to learn that doesn't look or feel like school.<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Project Based Homeschooling by Lori Pickert</span></h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QS2VKihSLss/Xv9WrafqgFI/AAAAAAAAqrs/C_7n1G3MV-0UPfNUSRDERIhQdFVp2LFxQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/project%2Bbased%2Bhomeschooling.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Project based homeschooling" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QS2VKihSLss/Xv9WrafqgFI/AAAAAAAAqrs/C_7n1G3MV-0UPfNUSRDERIhQdFVp2LFxQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/project%2Bbased%2Bhomeschooling.png" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I read <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Project-Based-Homeschooling-Mentoring-Self-Directed-Learners/dp/1475239068/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Project+Based+Homeschooling&qid=1593819231&s=digital-skills&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Project Based Homeschooling</a> pretty early in my own home education career and is one that I felt really helped to shape my early ideas around education for my family. If I think back, I'm sure it was this book that really allowed me to understand child-led learning. It has served me well with guidance of how learning benefits when our children have an interest and are able to pursue it.<br />
<br />
If you want to see how you can capitalise on your children's natural interests to engage their learning, this book will help you to do that. It shows you how you can use self directed projects to ignite curiosity and invite meaningful learning experiences. It is literally a beginners guide, providing you with material lists and guidance on setting up your learning space to invite a desire to learn, create, make and do.<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Unschooling To University by Judy Arnall</span></h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tIM-mGl1V9o/Xv-GKtdNLzI/AAAAAAAAqsE/tMJIdqruScM4V--8jOZsf3jcboW1GTN1gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/unschooling%2Bto%2Buniveristy.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Unschooling To University - homeschool book recommendation " border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tIM-mGl1V9o/Xv-GKtdNLzI/AAAAAAAAqsE/tMJIdqruScM4V--8jOZsf3jcboW1GTN1gCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/unschooling%2Bto%2Buniveristy.png" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Unschooling is one of the least conventional methods of home education that you'll find. What comes to most people's minds when they hear unschool, is kids without rules; kids who don't learn; kids who can do what they want when they want without consequence.<br />
This my sisters is not unschool, this is neglect.<br />
<br />
Contrary to what is commonly believed (by those who have had no experience of unschool I might add), unschooling requires a great deal of parental support and guidance. Unschooling parents go to great lengths to facilitate an education that meets the interests, goals and needs of their children.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unschooling-University-Relationships-crammed-content/dp/0978050991/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n1_0?cv_ct_cx=Unschooling+To+University&dchild=1&keywords=Unschooling+To+University&pd_rd_i=0978050991&pd_rd_r=deb8e964-eeb6-4cc9-9239-355782051ac2&pd_rd_w=Zi4T3&pd_rd_wg=yl8Il&pf_rd_p=3b853e83-6bf6-4856-96c6-ae2430a26fcf&pf_rd_r=F7BBYNMX0TXSTCE43Y9Y&psc=1&qid=1593819197&s=digital-skills&sr=1-1-c8b680f7-0dc9-4abe-aa5a-ccfde0ac07ae" target="_blank">Unschooling To University</a> shows you the benefits of unschooling and gives you a how-to introduction to it.<br />
I'm not an unschooler, however my copy of the book is full of highlighted sections because so much of this spoke to me. If you are having difficulty moving yourself away from the school-comparison mindset as you home educate, this book will really help you to see how successful learning without school can be, and how very different it looks. It will help you believe in the capabilities of your children if you give them a little trust.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">The Unschooling Handbook by Mary Griffith</span></h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jieOGHkqD6s/Xv-J5xIB2xI/AAAAAAAAqsQ/DK2b5n72qlouzdyZwmO8ql3Evr4qrtn0gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/the%2Bunschooling%2Bhandbook.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Unschoolers Handbook - homeschool book recommendation " border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jieOGHkqD6s/Xv-J5xIB2xI/AAAAAAAAqsQ/DK2b5n72qlouzdyZwmO8ql3Evr4qrtn0gCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/the%2Bunschooling%2Bhandbook.png" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unschooling-Handbook-Prima-Learning-Library/dp/0761512764/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=The+Unschooling+Handbook&qid=1593819161&sr=8-1" target="_blank">The Unschooling Handbook</a> was one of the very first books I read when I started home educating. It is a fairly old book, published in 1998 way before I embarked upon home education with my family.<br />
<br />
I'm looking back to my early days as a home educator, and how I taught my eldest to write. Young children have plenty to say but they don't always know how to articulate it in writing, or they dumb down what they do want to say so that it matches their spelling level. I've shared a number of times how I would ask my then 5 year old to narrate what she wanted to write, and I would transcribe word for word. She would then copy that transcription. She wrote when she was 5 a 3 or 4 A4 page long story in this way (over a number of days...not in one go!). I'm flipping through this book now to give a short review, and I completely forgot that I probably picked up this idea of transcription from this book.<br />
<br />
This is a really simple but effective unschooling guide that packs a powerful punch. Even if you don't pursue unschooling as an education method (I haven't), it will provide you with a wealth of knowledge in how you can encourage natural learning with your children. With so many of us only knowing education through the school system, we need to be able to see how and where meaningful opportunities for learning show up naturally. This book helps to do that...even if it was published over twenty years ago. In fact I would even say there is a benefit to having a book written before the age of the internet because it shows you how to facilitate learning possibilities without it.....something many of us are forgetting.<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Deschooling Gently by Tammy Takahashi</span></h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B16-zKFVR1E/Xv-OSbJyYmI/AAAAAAAAqsc/4EVxYvdB_7EeMR6R6vV5qNbM7K2Qu1aYgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/deschooling%2Bgently.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Deschooling Gently " border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B16-zKFVR1E/Xv-OSbJyYmI/AAAAAAAAqsc/4EVxYvdB_7EeMR6R6vV5qNbM7K2Qu1aYgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/deschooling%2Bgently.png" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Deschooling-Gently-Tammy-Takahashi/dp/1625300182/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n1_0?cv_ct_cx=Deschooling+Gently&dchild=1&keywords=Deschooling+Gently&pd_rd_i=1625300182&pd_rd_r=665ac54b-4517-4054-97d3-f16fdefc0862&pd_rd_w=IGBOD&pd_rd_wg=2MtO6&pf_rd_p=3b853e83-6bf6-4856-96c6-ae2430a26fcf&pf_rd_r=HFFNQZTYYWC72T4FYVC0&psc=1&qid=1593819140&s=digital-skills&sr=1-1-c8b680f7-0dc9-4abe-aa5a-ccfde0ac07ae" target="_blank">Deschooling Gently</a> is a current read so I haven't yet finished, however I felt it is an important one to add to this list of introductory homeschool books, since deschooling is something that is so so<i> so</i> important. I can not stress to you how much of an important process it is to go through.<br />
<br />
I advised the sisters on my <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2020/04/homeschoolconfidence.html" target="_blank">Homeschool With Confidence course</a> that an element of deschooling needs to be done throughout our whole homeschool careers as mums no matter how experienced we may become. I know for sure, I have to. Whenever I get that niggling doubt that makes me question <i>am I doing the right thing?</i> or <i>are we doing enough?</i> I have to go back and do some deep reflective work to get myself back on track and escape the school voice that bites me.<br />
<br />
This book will show how to deschool (get rid of the school comparison baggage) and guides you with self-discovery questions to help you figure out what you want for your homeschool and family. It will show you how to move away from the school mindset so many of us are ingrained with, and let you see the freedom you can experience without it.<br />
This is for sure a book I could have done with ten years ago, but even today ten years in, I'm finding benefit with it.<br />

<br />
If you're worried about how opting out of the conventional education path will impact university and career opportunities, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Still-Sending-Your-Kids-School/dp/0986011975/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Why+Are+You+Still+Sending+Your+Kids+To+School%3F&qid=1593819117&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Why Are You Still Sending Your Kids To School?</a> is the book that will help shed some light on this.<br />
The overall message of this book isn't to bash schools, but to let you know that if school is not the right fit for your child, there are other options.<br />
<br />
It is a highly secular book, so some of the career fields it discusses we may not entertain as Muslim families, however it helps to open your eyes to show you that there is a way to still attain success even without attending a brick and mortar school.<br />
While it is an American author intended for American audiences, as a Brit I still found immense value in this. It has helped to shape my thinking in the way of how I can help my children to find opportunities for themselves as they grow towards adulthood. To think outside the box so to speak.<br />

John Taylor Gatto was a teacher in the US for thirty years and a huge advocate for education reform. This book is a fascinating read to see into the mind of a teacher and the school system. I've met both Muslim and Christian homeschool mums who are professionally trained teachers, however chose homeschool because having been directly in the school system, they realised they wanted something more for their own family.<br />
<br />
If you wanted to explore the idea of school and what it does, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dumbing-Down-Curriculum-Compulsory-Schooling/dp/0865718547/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n1_0?cv_ct_cx=Dumbing+Us+Down&dchild=1&keywords=Dumbing+Us+Down&pd_rd_i=0865718547&pd_rd_r=d3e0a628-4a2a-47bb-a7d2-a027898f6526&pd_rd_w=tOjXz&pd_rd_wg=rgyo4&pf_rd_p=3b853e83-6bf6-4856-96c6-ae2430a26fcf&pf_rd_r=XYHX4FJEEHZBVKCKDDTF&psc=1&qid=1593819092&s=digital-skills&sr=1-1-c8b680f7-0dc9-4abe-aa5a-ccfde0ac07ae" target="_blank">Dumbing Us Down</a> will be eye-opening. This isn't a book that advocates home education per se, but advocates change to education and encourages parents whether their children are in school or not, to wake up and do something more to prevent their own children getting lost in the system.<br />

I'm pretty sure <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Teach-Your-Own-John-Homeschooling/dp/0738206946/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Teach+Your+Own&qid=1593818976&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Teach Your Own</a> was among the first set of homeschool books I ordered after we started this path of educating without school. It provides snippets of accounts from different homeschooling families about their experiences while discussing the concept of home learning without school.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't start with this book if you are completely new to the idea of homeschool and looking for something to help you get started or understand it. I feel I missed a lot of the fascinating points this book makes the first time I read it. As a completely new homeschooling Mum...a clueless homeschooling mum I should add, who knew nothing of pedagogy or education, I gained a lot more from it when I flipped through years later. The Call Of The Wild And Free or The Brave Learner would be better for that. However this does offer many valuable insights that will help you see that your children can learn amazing things and shows you the freedom you have as a home educator to encourage them.<br />

Okay, so this is not exactly a homeschool book. However, I want to be real with you. While the books I have listed above will help to develop the picture of home education, they are all quite rather positive. The picture painted in each book while may not be perfect, they all certainly offer an idealised vision.<br />
<br />
If you have more than one child, you are likely to run into squabbling siblings. Homeschoolers are not protected or immune from squabbles. So I wanted to slip this book into the list, because if you are taking the home education road, you better be prepared for everything. And one of the questions I hear often from mums, is one which relates to dealing with kids who fight, bicker, squabble and send mum loopy (or is that just me?).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Siblings-Without-Rivalry-Children-Together/dp/1853406309/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Siblings+Without+Rivalry&qid=1593819043&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Siblings Without Rivalry</a> is an excellent book that shows you how to manage this effectively through the way you communicate. Like all the other books, I'm not saying everything here will suit us as Muslims. However in generality, the examples provided are beneficial and will help you to develop a better understanding of how you can deal with kids at war more effectively and keep your homeschool running smooth.<br />

<br />
Jumping into homeschool is, for most of us, a huge leap into the unknown. I know how it is....the uncertainty, the doubt, the wanting to know what you're meant to do now you're not using school.<br />
<br />
We want to be confident this is the right decision for our family.<br />
We want to be confident we will give our children everything they need.<br />
We want to be confident we know what we should be doing.<br />
We want to be confident we won't mess up our children's education.<br />
We want to be confident that We. Are. Enough.<br />
<br />
I look back to the time my family made the decision to home educate when my eldest was 4. I was DESPERATE for someone to answer all my questions and point me in the right direction!<br />
<br />
The internet wasn't what it is today when I was a new homeschooling mum. I remember trying to flag down local home educators with older children and more experience to pick their brains and seek advice....but often they were too busy to give me the time I craved. Of course they were - they were with their children.<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah today we can often find answers to many of our uncertainties with a click of a button, and I have been passionate in helping families find their homeschool answers for a decade so you don't have to struggle the same way I and many others like me did.<br />
<br />
Last week I hosted an all-day Q&A over on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/AMuslimHomeSchool" target="_blank">Facebook</a> so you could ask your homeschool questions. I have to confess that by the end of it I was exhausted! There were some interesting qurries posted and I thought it would be beneficial to share some of those here to make them easy to find and reference for anyone seeking the same advice. <br />
What I'm going to do is repost some of them in a series of posts, with an edited response to provide a little more detail than the rapid-fire answers originally given.<br />
<br />
If you have a homeschool question, I'm pleased to announce I'm launching a monthly Q&A series here on the blog insha'Allah, so please send yours if you have one (no matter the stage of your homeschool adventure) to info@amuslimhomeschool.com.<br />
<br />
Let's kick start this new series with our first question, asking something I think many of us wonder...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">The Question: <br />Can I home educate when I can't imagine the kids being home all day?</span></h3>
<br />
Assalamu alaikum, I have a toddler. I felt like I'm not someone who can homeschool because I can't imagine having my kid home all the time after age 5 to be honest, but I enjoy doing play-based learning and I am not particularly fond of the schooling system so do you know people who felt this way and it still worked out for them?<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">My reply</span></h4>
<br />
wa alaikum asalaam wa rahmatullah,<br />
<br />
Do I know anyone who felt this way, and it still worked out for them? .....<br />
Yes......ME!!!!!!<br />
<br />
What a lot of people don't realise is that many of us begin like this - reluctantly, not sure if we will cope or manage.<br />
It's like jumping into ice cold water when you were a child. When you first jump in it doesn't feel very nice - the adrenaline and the excitement is there, but it is uncomfortable. It is cold and you can feel it. But you wait a few minutes and your body acclimatises so that you no longer feel the cold anymore. Now you can enjoy the swim and have fun. <b>This is homeschool. </b><br />
We begin unsure, but as the weeks, months and years go by we warm up. We start to see the benefits and experience the joys. That's when you know you got this.<br />

<br />
I never wanted to home educate. When my eldest was born, my husband and I always knew State School wouldn't be something we would use, but homeschool....not us!!!<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah here we are now, 14 years later, as MASSIVE advocates for home education.<br />
<br />
I didn't consider myself to be someone who could cope with having the kids home all day. Our society raises us to believe children need to be in school and parents have time to work, or do what they need to do without the kids getting in the way. It takes a lot of active rethinking to change that ingrained belief within us and see the opportunities that come from having children home with us.<br />
<br />
I will confess I was excited for my firstborn to start school and quietly celebrated in my head on her first day. I'd finally have time for her younger sibling whom we joked was the neglected child since her older sibling demanded (and received) so much more attention.<br />
When that first half-term holiday came six weeks later, I was nervous - a whole week with my daughter at home-what would we do? It unsettled me.<br />
<br />
However, by the end of the first term in reception class, the novelty of school wore off. It felt as though I was running a B&B, not a family home. Once my little four year old returned from school, we'd have about an hour together before it would be time to get dinner, clean up and start the bedtime routine so that we could be up in the morning to do it all over again. It felt as though we were preparing her to spend the best hours of her day with someone else. It was a feeling I never expected to have Alhamdulillah.<br />
<br />
When we made the decision to home educate after the end of the first term, I was nervous. I knew it would take some getting used to. I wasn't patient. I didn't know how to "teach". I'd have the kids with me 24/7. Aghr!<br />
<br />
But I have to tell you, once we began this adventure, everything changed Alhamdulillah.<br />
<br />
You become patient- because you have to. You become used to having the kids around. It changes you. You realise that for this to work, you <i>have</i> to change your mindset.<br />
<br />
As the weeks, and months and years go by, you''ll start to see the benefits of home education; from the smile on the children's face when they do something awesome, to their maturity, to your connection with them, to all the amazing things they learn and discover.....you will relax, and you couldn't imagine it any other way.<br />
<br />
I'm a big believer in taking control instead plodding along feeling incapable. I see difficulties as problems that need to be solved rather than difficulties to hold you back, and so I am a fan of problem-solving by writing things down.<br />
<br />
We have so many thoughts buzzing around our minds that it can be difficult to determine those that need attention to those that are just clutter and making extra noise. When we write things down, it allows us to slow down those thoughts enough so that we can catch them and really focus on what they are saying.<br />
<br />
<b>Grab a pen and paper, and write out why you think you are not someone who can homeschool.</b> Be honest with yourself.<br />
<br />
<b>Then, identify solutions to help you offset those points.</b> Look for practical actions you can take to combat what you feel are areas of weakness or obstacles in your way.<br />
<br />
For example -<br />
<br />
THE PROBLEM<br />
<i>I can't home educate because I have no idea what or how to teach. I need time for myself and having the kids with me all day will be stressful.</i><br />
<br />
IDENTIFY SOLUTIONS<br />
<i>I can find out homeschool methods that will help me to facilitate an education at home without school.</i><br />
<i>I can find out how home educators do this and stay sane.</i><br />
<i>I can organise time so that I get the time I need for myself</i><br />
<br />
This is just a really really brief example, when you do this you will give more detail. But do you get the point?<br />
<br />
The more options you give yourself, the more likely you are to take ownership of whatever issue you think you have. The more possibilities you give yourself, the more empowered you become. Of course, it goes without saying, make dua'a. Turn to the One Who has control on our affairs. But then take tie your camel - take the means and act.<br />

Ever since I jumped into home education a decade ago I've always believed we could benefit from training-day-kind-of-events in the same way that teachers have training days in school. Not because the home educator is a teacher, but rather it is the concept of pursuing opportunities to continue our <i>professional development.</i> It was the desire to keep growing my homeschool understanding and find motivation that I always craved. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This course will do just that for you with so much more insha'Allah!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Over sixteen weeks (that's just shy of four months!) we will explore some guiding principles to help you kick start your adventure or provide a reboot. Not so that you won't make mistakes (we all do), and not so that I can tell you the right way to home educate (because there isn't one); but so that you can step into your homeschool and build it up with greater certainty in your ability to succeed insha'Allah knowing what options are available to you. </div>

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Why this course?</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you want to understand home education, it is not the teachers or the educationists who can help with information and support. Yes they can certainly benefit. But it isn't these who can provide a comprehensive understanding of educating at home. When you want to know about homeschool then you have to go to the homeschooling mum.</div>
The homeschool mother is what I like to call the<i> university professor</i> to everything that is homeschool. This course will provide you with everything you need to find your homeschool feet all in one place. My objective is not to provide a one-size-fits-all doctrine to getting the best of homeschool. My objective is to help you carve a path that meets the individual needs of your family. There isn't one-size-fits-all approach and this is the beauty of home education.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have combined my experience as a home educator together with my work speaking to and supporting mums accross the world since 2011, to design a course that will help you find the answers that meet the unique needs of your family; not mine or anyone else's....because there are no two homeschools that are the same.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As cliche as it may sound, putting this course together really has been a labor of love for me. I have gained a wealth of experience over the past decade that I am passionate about sharing and trained as a coach to help me do this effectively insha'Allah.</div>

<span style="color: #a64d79;">16 Homeschool Master Classes for the Muslim Mum</span></h3>
<div>
<br />
Each week offers a new Master Class that you can join in live for or view the replay any time more convenient to you. Whether you show up to the live class or catch the recordings later you're still able to ask your questions and interact with fellow participants in our own private forum (it is not Facebook since I know many of you don't like to use it).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My mission is to make things easy for you and so each class is accompanied by a set of carefully presented detailed notes so that you don't have to worry about missing anything important. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

To help you do this it is important to go through a deschooling process....even if your child has never been in school; because you have. In our fourth class together we'll walk you through deschooling your children if they have been in school, as well as deschooling yourself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Week 9: Creating A Morning Basket</b></div>
Morning basket, morning time and circle time are all used to mean the same thing; a period of time where the family comes together to start the day with read alouds, games and gentle learning activities. In this class we'll take a deep-dive to look at how you can start one in your home no matter the age of your children; from tots to teens.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Week 13: Inviting Learning</b><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Week 14: Creating Your Homeschool Space</b><br />
It is not the size of your home or budget that matters when it comes to creating a homeschool space that invites children to discover, learn and create. We'll take a look at how you can carve a home space that is conductive to encouraging organic interest and learning with your family.<br />
<br />

<br />
All the parents who are finding themselves thrust into a sudden school-at-homer position, my heart goes out to you. You are in a difficult position caught somewhere between school and home education.<br />
What you are doing isn’t home educating or homeschooling. Rather what you are doing is school-at-home which is something entirely different…and something most home educators run away from and advise against because we know it brings tears, stress and overwhelm.<br />
<br />
I’m not here to tell you what you should or shouldn’t be doing. I know many of your schools are providing you with homework assignments for your children that you’ll be expected to carry out.<br />
But what I do want to say, is if you want to find success during this turbulent period and keep all your hair in tact, you have to let go of school expectations for your family. You have to start rethinking how you see education through the lens of your home, rather than through the lens of school.<br />
This is a period that if you are to embrace could provide your family with no end of benefits; far beyond just the academic expectations.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Rethink learning through the lens of home not school</span></h3>
<br />
I want to invite you to rethink what you know of education through school, and consider how it may look instead within the home; <i>your</i> home.<br />
<br />
Your childhood memories of school and of how learning looks in the classroom is not how it is going to look within a family environment. And why would you want it to be anyway? Neither you nor your children would want to live in a school, so don’t try to make your home into one.<br />
<br />
Schools require schedule and rigidity.<br />
Homes thrive on routine and flexibility.<br />
<br />
Schools require authority and instruction.<br />
Homes thrive on partnership and collaboration.<br />
<br />
Schools require groups strictly organised by age.<br />
Homes thrive on the interactions of the young and the old working side by side.<br />
<br />
Schools require silent classrooms and taught learning.<br />
Homes thrive upon juicy conversation and interest led discovery.<br />
<br />
Schools require a disconnect from emotions and feelings.<br />
Homes thrive on acknowledging inner thoughts and emotional states, not hiding them.<br />
<br />
Put your home at the center of your family learning during this time.<br />
You are not a teacher, and your children don’t need you to be one. What they want and do need however is you; <i>mum</i>.<br />
<br />
Whether you are completing assignments your school has set you, or you have been left to do as you choose, make sure that you consider the properties of your home before you consider the expectations of school.<br />
Let me ask you now to think of home. What comes to your mind? Stop a moment and have a think.<br />
<br />
I’ll tell you what comes to mine:<br />
Love<br />
Safety<br />
Warmth<br />
Security<br />
Protection<br />
Memories<br />
Family<br />
Food, home cooking<br />
Relaxation<br />
Guardianship<br />
Being yourself<br />
Privacy<br />
Relationships<br />
Bonding<br />
Connection<br />
Freedom<br />
Individualization<br />
Routine<br />
Flexibility<br />
<br />

<br />
Home isn’t a building. Nor does it have to be something that you own. We have always rented ours.<br />
What makes a home is the family within it. It is you.<br />
Home is an escape from the hustle and bustle of the outside world providing warmth, comfort and safety. It is a place to relax and find comfort. It’s a place of belonging and welcome.<br />
Home is home and there really is no other place like it.<br />
Home is where the heart is. It is where families are born and memories made. Home is a place of nurturing and happiness. A hidden away place far away from prying eyes where you can laugh, love and play.<br />
<br />
Home can indeed also be a place of sadness and difficulty. I’m not trying to paint an Instagram filtered picture of unrealism here that makes us all feel inadequate because I’m sure there is not one person reading this who won’t have something troubling them at some point. All families do.<br />
There is no home without its share of troubles. Loved ones become sick. Incomes get lost. Marriages have struggles. Mothers suffer depression. Landlords don’t always do repairs. But in and amongst all of all the challenges we may face, the home and what it represents for us and our family cannot ever be replaced. And it always our sense of home and togetherness that we all come back to and try to keep alive.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Find your inspiration</span></h3>
<br />
So when it comes to education with your family, the first place to gather your inspiration from isn’t the schools, rather it is your home.<br />
<br />
What do you want your home to be?<br />
What does it mean to you?<br />
What gives you the feeling of home?<br />
<br />
Embrace those characteristics and prioritize them in during this unsettled period you find yourselves in whilst the schools are closed.<br />
Your home should be at the center, it is the foundation upon which the education that you cultivate with your children is laid.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Further help for schooling at home</span></h3>
<br />
If you are looking for advice to help you during this period at home, I have free pdf eBooks you may find benefit and comfort in reading insha'Allah.<br />
Whilst what you are doing is not home education, the advice found in these eBooks are certainty transferable to your current situation....and perhaps may even help you to take a step into home education for your family once this pandemic ends insha'Allah<br />

<br />
With many mums across the UK and around the world finding themselves suddenly thrown into a schooler-at-home position, I want to offer a little guidance to help you settle and adapt to this new role you have been thrust into insha’Allah.<br />
<br />
Whilst many of you have been provided with work to carry out at home, it is not an easy task implementing what is meant for school within the home as a parent; because your home simply is not a school and nor is it meant to be.<br />
<br />
I want to offer some gentle guidance to show you how you can help unite the demands of school within your home without tearing your hair out insha’Allah!<br />
<br />
This time we are facing is one of unease and I want to help lessen the burden and anxiety many mums are feeling during this time.<br />
<br />
Next Sunday 29th March at 7:30pm UK time (BST) I invite you to join me for a FREE online workshop designed to help you navigate this unexpected situation insha’Allah.<br />
The replay will be available for 24 hours only.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>To make it easy to access, the workshop will be streamed live in a private Facebook group as this will be easier for me to allow participants to join.<br />
I realise not everyone uses Facebook however creating an account is super easy and not any different to signing up to any other platform I could use to host this workshop.<br />
<br />
This is a strictly WOMEN ONLY online event and you must be able to listen where no men can hear or alternatively use headphones.<br />
<br />
To join you will be asked to swear by Allah that you are female and will honor my instruction to not allow any men to hear the workshop presentation. This is a trust I am giving that I trust will be upheld insha'Allah.<br />
<br />
Come join the private group to offer one another mutual support during this time and attend the live workshop on Sunday 29th March bi'ithnillah - click {<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/survivingschoolathome/" target="_blank">HERE TO JOIN</a>}<br />
<br />

After first publishing Advice for the Muslim Homeschooler in 2017, I've updated it for 2020 making it bigger and better - and yes it is<i> still</i> free to download! It has truly been a labor of love putting this together.<br />
<br />
If you're not a home educating mumma, I think there is still lots in here that you too will find benefit in and resonate with insha'Allah, so don't be deterred by the title. Whilst I passionately offer this to help home educating sisters build their confidence and find support, much of what I share is from the perspective of being a mother that anyone will relate to.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">One thing apparent about home education and the Muslim community world wide is that it is a relatively new concept for us; increasing in popularity in recent years. </span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Although thousands of families have been educating at home for decades, (particularly in America) it is only in more recent times that we find Muslim families adopting this lifestyle choice and it seems to be gaining in popularity super-fast. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is great for all of us because it means our circles get bigger and there is more support to go round.</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br />
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Whilst there is a wealth of information and support available on a secular level (I have indeed benefited greatly from it alhamdulillah) there isn’t so much from within our own Muslim communities yet...which is why I do the work that I do to support my community.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This eBook is my humble offering to you my dear sister. A small gift to aid you in your homeschool journey. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">What's inside Advice for the Muslim Homeschooler?</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;"></span><br /></div>
<div>
Life as a home educator and mother is a lot easier when you have support. Advice for the Muslim Homeschooler is a collection of 41 short essays taken from the blog and Instagram; chosen to provide an easy to read boost of inspiration and motivation; sharing insights and little nuggets of wisdom I've learned since the official start to my homeschool journey back in 2011 when my eldest was 4.<br />
If you're not so big on following social media then this is the perfect tool to allow you to benefit from what has been shared, without having to scroll through feeds.<br />
<br />
I've designed it to be easily viewable using a digital device, so if you prefer to print your copy I'd recommend printing two pages on one sheet to allow the font to be at a more a appropriate scale for reading; plus it will save half the paper and printing!<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy reading and find benefit in it. If you do I would be honored and hugely appreciative if you could help share this page with your friends and social media followers or groups so that I can reach more people who may also take advantage of this free resource insha'Allah. <br />
I rely on word of mouth and shares to help reach new audiences; the online world is full of information; my small little blog gets lost amongst it all. JazakAllahu khayran my dear sisters.<br />

Following the <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2019/04/ramadanpreparationplanner.html" target="_blank"><i>pre-Ramadan prep planner</i></a>, designed to help mums get organised; this week I'm sharing a set of guided activities for the whole family to come together on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>This short activity guide has been designed to help you figure out along with your family what is important to you all around Ramadan;</b> giving you time to put things in place so that you can focus on what really matters bi'ithnillah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ramadan is the time of year where routines change and focus shifts. We look forward it, and many of us move things around so that our families can take as much benefit as we can from this time bi'ithnillah. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yet despite our best intentions, it can be easy to get swept along and find ourselves lost in and amongst all our many responsibilities; struggling to find a balance between what we want to achieve over Ramadan and our everyday ordinary life.<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Defining our Ramadan goals and preparing for challenges</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"></span><br /></div>
No matter the ages of your children, your Ramadan aspirations are not a secret from them. Talk to the kids about how important striving to do good over the month is, and get them in on planning their own good actions. What do you yourself hope to achieve?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Think about what challenges you might face in reaching your own desired outcomes. What potential solutions can you prepare to help you overcome them inshaAllah?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What difficulties might the children face and how can you help surpass them bi’ithnillah?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If the kids are in school but you all want to pray Tarawih at night, what will make getting everyone ready on time in the morning easier? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What can be done to prevent fasting kids having late afternoon melt-downs because of tiredness and hunger? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How can you organise your time so that you're able to take care of everyone's needs as well as take care of your own ibaadah?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Identify all your potential challenges and have a list of solutions ready. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This Ramadan activity guide will help you and your family talk about these matters and help you to find answers to your difficulties. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've shared some images but I have to hold my hands up...my camera quality is really poor. I feel I have to state the obvious so we can ignore the obvious!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Activity 1: Sticky note fun; what are your family's Ramadan aspirations?</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first activity invites you all to start thinking about Ramadan; what it is, why it's important and what you all hope to achieve. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All you need to do, is grab some sticky notes, a cork board or large sheet of card...even straight onto the wall, and ask everyone to jot down what they know about Ramadan and what they'd like to work towards inshaAllah. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Normally, us Mums think about these things on our own. We look at what we'd like our kids to value and achieve over Ramadan, and try to steer them in that direction. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, with this simple activity you're able to invite the whole family to participate in creating your Ramadan plan, asking them to think about its purpose and digging deep to look at what each of you would like to achieve.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
By getting everyone involved like this, you'll get a greater level of interest, excitement and efforts because you're prompting the family to think about and reflect on their own purpose. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When every one has had a hand at sharing what is important to them, you'll get a greater level of investment from them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W4H2V8G6v2o/XLnO0Qt4WLI/AAAAAAAAeGQ/6mQ0gX4Y7mQHBUwOi8SPIwd_1RD7YxlsQCLcBGAs/s1600/Ramadan%2Bfamily%2Bactivity%2Bplan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ramadan family activity" border="0" data-original-height="735" data-original-width="1179" height="398" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W4H2V8G6v2o/XLnO0Qt4WLI/AAAAAAAAeGQ/6mQ0gX4Y7mQHBUwOi8SPIwd_1RD7YxlsQCLcBGAs/s640/Ramadan%2Bfamily%2Bactivity%2Bplan.jpg" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Activity 2: Big Juicy Conversations</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This second exercise, follows on from the first. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During the sticky-note activity you probably already were able to generate a lot of conversation around Ramadan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However here, you're going to take a look at each of the sticky notes, and explore them further. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Why are some of these points your children have written down important to them? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Why are yours important to you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Activity 3: Ramadan good deed brainstorm</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next you're going to brain-dump all your good deed ideas that you might like to try over Ramadan. Listing them doesn't mean you have to go out and do every single one. But it will allow you to pull together possibilities to encourage your family to take certain steps to work towards accomplishing them bi'ithnillah. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CwZHDcFcAeo/XLnU7bP4gVI/AAAAAAAAeHc/p-7b6l8U59AFKvWWS86SfXjv_Xgr8_XCQCLcBGAs/s1600/Ramadan%2Bgood%2Bdeeds%2Bplanner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ramadan good deed planner" border="0" data-original-height="910" data-original-width="961" height="606" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CwZHDcFcAeo/XLnU7bP4gVI/AAAAAAAAeHc/p-7b6l8U59AFKvWWS86SfXjv_Xgr8_XCQCLcBGAs/s640/Ramadan%2Bgood%2Bdeeds%2Bplanner.jpg" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Activity 4: Your family's top Ramadan priorities</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You're a busy mum with a busy family life. Whilst absolutely you want to do as much as you can over Ramadan and encourage your family, so many of us get overwhelmed at wanting to do so much out of the ordinary that it can become easy to feel lost.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here, use your sticky notes, and talk about what are the most important things you'd like to prioritise in relation to:</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Your ibaadah</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How your days are spent</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How your nights are spent</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Extra good deeds</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Family relationships</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div>
By listing out your top 5 priorities in each area, doesn't mean you're limited to these. But it means you can put things into place ahead of time to help you accomplish them inshaAllah. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-31qP-9S2Au4/XLnVkxxN71I/AAAAAAAAeIA/nxC2oPpsmJAMzgG2pXwLEE_m6p2JlBVqgCLcBGAs/s1600/Ramadan%2Bvalues%2Bplanner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="our ramadan priorities action plan printable" border="0" data-original-height="938" data-original-width="985" height="608" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-31qP-9S2Au4/XLnVkxxN71I/AAAAAAAAeIA/nxC2oPpsmJAMzgG2pXwLEE_m6p2JlBVqgCLcBGAs/s640/Ramadan%2Bvalues%2Bplanner.jpg" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Activity 5: Our Ramadan Action Plan</span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The last activity, you'll identify what a successful Ramadan for your family would be, and think about practical strategies to help you achieve that bi'ithnillah. </div>
<div>
You'll also address any potential difficulties or challenges which may come up and look for solutions. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X7KioIc0nIM/XLnWJVhGndI/AAAAAAAAeIU/PjD8uDz9iWcwQPsn_U2k1gy33xA3V4_HgCLcBGAs/s1600/Our%2BRamadan%2Baction%2Bplan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="our family ramadan action plan printable" border="0" data-original-height="927" data-original-width="923" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X7KioIc0nIM/XLnWJVhGndI/AAAAAAAAeIU/PjD8uDz9iWcwQPsn_U2k1gy33xA3V4_HgCLcBGAs/s640/Our%2BRamadan%2Baction%2Bplan.jpg" title="" width="636" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You'll also look at your homeschool or school, and think about how you can overcome potential difficulties....there are two sheets for this activity, so only print the one you need (whether you're a school or homeschool family).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Something I see mummas everywhere always wanting help on, is how to teach Islam at home with family.<br />
This topic was raised by an attendee in my <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2019/09/howtohomeschool.html" target="_blank">Homeschooling With Confidence course</a>, and I thought it would be beneficial to share my (edited and updated) response here with you too, since it is such a common quest so many of us have.<br />
<br />
Certainly it has always been something that I’ve been conscious of. Islam is the central part of our lives and we want to raise our children to love our religion and more than that, act upon it; knowing it is Allah Alone who guides.<br />
<br />
My advice here is that of a fellow mum just like you. I am not a student of knowledge rather I have to be clear that I’m a layman, so I will always refer you to the people of knowledge because it is beyond my expertise to instruct you in Islamic matters. So please know that what I am offering here is merely general advice from one mother to another in dealing with children and teaching them Islam at home.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><a name='more'></a>Islam Starts with us</span></h3>
<br />
The first thing that is important to realise is that Islam starts with us. When we consider how children have learned Islam for centuries, it was through the way in which they were parented; it was through the example that was presented by the behavior of parents; it was by going to those with knowledge and sitting in their lessons.<br />
<br />
The idea we have today to make Islamic learning "fun" with crafts or activities is a relatively new concept. I don't say this to mean we shouldn't encourage our children to learn Islam through means they enjoy, not at all (I certainly try to). But only to make the point that much of their learning is through us and our ordinary day to day interactions, behaviors and habits.<br />
<br />
Take for example when we want our children to know their adhkar, then if reciting these are an everyday natural part of our lives they will learn the relevant supplications without conscious concerted effort insha'Allah. They will learn these as naturally as they learned to speak without focused effort or training - simply by mimicking us.<br />
When we tuck our children to bed at night - from the day they are born recite the bedtime dua’, recite the Quls and Ayat ul Kursi before they sleep. If this is a habit we haven’t already implemented, then begin with one thing at a time, and slowly build into our routine each supplication so that it is easy for us to become consistent insha’Allah.<br />
<br />
Islam is a practical religion. It is a way of life not an abstract series of lessons. Therefore study so that you<i> can</i> put Islam into action insha'Allah (this here is an advice to myself first and foremost before anyone else).<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Our own Islamic learning</span></h3>
<br />
The first thing we should pay attention to is our own Islamic study. Not our children's.<br />
Are we as a servant of Allah our self, spending time learning about our religion? Have we developed a consistent routine for studying Islam? For reading the Qur'an? For reading the books of the scholars? Attending the classes of the students of knowledge nearby or traveling to them?<br />
<br />
Children will follow our example. So when we make the learning of Islam a priority in our lives, our children will see that and follow insha'Allah.<br />
<br />
The second point to this is in order to be able to teach our children, we our self must have knowledge first. This only comes with study.<br />
<br />
So read the books of the scholars. Alhamdulillah many have been <a href="https://salafibookstore.com/" target="_blank">translated for us into English </a>for those of us still learning Arabic. And also listen to the lessons of the scholars - many are available through the internet alhamdulillah and many have been <a href="https://www.salafisounds.com/" target="_blank">translated by students of knowledge</a>.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Prophetic Guidance for parents and Educators</span></h3>
<br />
The best methods to teach our children is to take from the best of examples; the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa salaam. I can not recommend enough this 4 part series of lessons from our noble teacher Moosa Richardson may Allah preserve him, which goes through how we as both parents and educators can teach and cultivate our children.

There are so many points of benefit that you will take from this series, and as a student of knowledge our dear ustadh is in a much better position to advise you on these matters than I ever could.<br />
<br />
If you find it difficult to sit with a notebook and pen to make your own notes as you listen, then play these whilst you go about your house-chores; cooking, cleaning or driving running errands.<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Attend lessons together</span></h3>
<br />
Encourage your children's love for the people of knowledge and seeking knowledge by attending lessons together. If you have no lessons locally that are accessible to you that are sound upon their call to the Qur'an and Sunnah, then <a href="https://www.salafisounds.com/" target="_blank">listen to classes online</a>. Give your child no matter his age, a notebook and encourage him to listen and write.<br />
<br />
I tell my children to write anything they hear that they understand....even if it is only noting words they know when they hear them or random phrases or sentences. The older they get the more they will be able to write bi'ithnillah (and no - spelling is not important when writing notes in a live class - the important matter is the recording of information. So please do not worry yourself or your kids about spelling when note taking during a live class, nor neat penmanship).<br />
<br />
Make it a special time for them: provide a nice notebook, a nice set of pens, take them out for dessert after the class ends or give them a small reward for their notes after the class ...some sweets or something else that is simple but they will value.<br />
<br />
When children are very young and not yet able to record what they hear (but can read), instead write a list of words that are likely to be said during the class, and simply ask them to tick every time they heard each word; Allah, Islam, salaah, the Prophet (salAllahu alaiyhi wa salam), ibaadah, worship, believers, disbelievers, Qur'an etc etc etc<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Make learning interactive</span></h3>
<br />
Use <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2015/07/the-conditions-pillars-and-requirements.html" target="_blank">lapbooks </a>or <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2013/07/ramadan-note-booking-pages.html" target="_blank">notebooking</a> pages to learn various Islamic topics. These are fun engaging ways to record your studies and are often found by children to be more engaging than simply writing into a lined exercise book.<br />
<br />
Make <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2015/04/the-conditions-pillars-and-requirements.html" target="_blank">posters</a>, <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2016/01/salaah-worksheet-folder-printable.html" target="_blank">folders</a>, wall displays,<a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2017/09/creative-homeschool-projects-hadith-of.html" target="_blank"> scrapbooks</a>, <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2018/09/5pillarsofislamactivitycraft.html" target="_blank">crafts</a> and <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2018/09/morningbasketinamuslimhomeschool.html" target="_blank">journals</a>.<br />
<br />
Follow a sound Islamic book so that you can create your own lessons and activities to help teach each topic in the same way that you would any other subject. If you are not confident in your ability to utilize a book from the Scholars yourself, then find a book that some of the students of knowledge have explained with audio classes available online, and then from that relay it to your children in a way they understand together with some simple activities.<br />
<br />
Over on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17895945628246882/" target="_blank">Instagram Planning Highlight</a>, I shared a brief look at one of the ways I have used an Islamic book to form the basis of my own series of Islamic Studies lessons. You can view that <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17895945628246882/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://taalib.com/" target="_blank">Taalib.com</a> have some excellent self-study books from the works of our scholars that provide comprehension questions throughout to check understanding (some have accompanying workbooks). These can easily be adopted to use with the family, allowing you to study alongside your children; using the books as a lesson guide which you can use to expand upon with child-friendly activities and lessons that your children will enjoy.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Read together</span></h3>
<br />
Reading aloud is something I always recommend. The benefits of reading together can not be over estimated. Reading Islamic books with your children is an easy way to learn about the religion without the need to prepare a fancy lesson and materials beforehand. The key is to be consistent. It is far better to sit together daily for even just ten minutes than to try to fit in an hour long session that hardly ever happens.<br />
Choose a book that is appropriate to your children's comprehension level, and discuss what you read. Explore together what points of benefit you can extract from what you have read and how you might apply those benefits to your life.<br />
<br />
Something we have done is what we have called a "Seerah Breakfast". We gather together a nice weekend breakfast with fresh juice and lay the table with candles. We simply read together, taking turns to read a portion of a children's seerah book. The kids love it.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Know your intention and stick to those who call to the Qur'an and Sunnah upon the same methodolgy as the Salaf-us-Saalih</span></h3>
<div>
<br />
We are living in a time where access to Islamic information has never been easier. We literally can access the lessons of the scholars from within our homes subhanAllah, and whilst that is not at all an adequate replacement for actually traveling to sit in the lessons of knowledge, alhamdulillah it does mean we are able to educate ourselves much easier than ever before. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sisters, be careful from where you take Islamic learning from. Because studying our religion is not like studying the secular subjects. Be careful what books you bring into your home for your children; because whilst there are indeed many many Islamic books designed for children today however not all of them are careful from where they take their sources from and whether they are authentic. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you want to teach your children Islam, you must ensure what you are learning is correct. You don't want to teach them stories, learn habits or encourage them to memorize dua' for example that are in fact not authentically reported within the Qur'an or the Sunnah. You want to cultivate your family upon truth not falsehood. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So stick to the clear known scholars and students of knowledge because it is they who are the inheritors of the Prophets, and it is they who will guide us to the Qur'an and Sunnah the way it was revealed, understood and practiced by the best of all generations; the companions of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa salam.</div>

<br />
We all know the famous adage that goes "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime."<br />
<br />
Most of us don't think about entrepreneurship. Schools certainly don't. We think about getting good grades and preparing for universities. We think about how we can help our children mold themselves into a person that universities will want and employers seek out. I'm not saying that is a bad thing to do, not at all. But what I am saying, is alongside this academic learning, wouldn't it be beneficial to develop business related skills so that they know how to become employers not only employees? Sure, owning and running a business isn't for everyone, but neither is being a doctor, teacher or manager.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>It has probably never been easier to encourage entrepreneurial thinking with the vast amount of knowledge we have at our fingertips and the opportunities the internet gives us to sell to the whole world. All our children need is a little help and guidance from us, and they will lead the way.<br />
<br />
If you're sat at home wondering is there any real benefit to teaching our children entrepreneurial skills, I certainly think there is. Aside from the fact that you won't have to keep dishing out pocket money every month because they can earn it themselves, when we help our children earn their own money they're developing some massive life skills that will equip them for their own futures bi'ithnillah.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Why teach kids entrepreneurship skills?</span></h3>
<br />
A multitude of skills are gained when looking at how to create and run a business from scratch. Along with working on<a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2013/05/keep-maths-real.html" target="_blank"> real-life maths</a> (not just some made up problem about how many more apples Harry has than Jane) starting a business encourages kids to think creatively, to problem solve, to be curious, to take responsibility and action goals, improve communication skills and help others.<br />
<br />
Inviting children to think about creating their own business, gives them another potential door to walk through if when they are older they find doors being shut. It helps to give them control in seeking out their sustenance, rather than relying on someone else alone to give them that opportunity.<br />
<br />
If they are in a position where they have no job, they can have the creative thinking and confidence to go out and do something to earn money for themselves inshaAllah - whether that be something as simple as buying a ladder and walking door to door to clean windows, or creating an innovative new product or service to meet the needs of people. It puts them in control to go find the rizq Allah has already decreed for them.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: magenta;">How do I start teaching my children about entrepreneurship? </span></h3>
<br />
Get them reading!<br />
<br />
Study existing big businesses and discover how they set got themselves started. You can find out about this online easily and learn so much about history and people along the way.<br />
<br />
Have a look out for books on entrepreneurship for kids. There are quite a number of them around now. As simple as they may be, they could provide just enough umph for your kids to go out and try working on some ideas of their own.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Help the kids start a business</span></h3>
<br />
The best way to really learn about business is to create one....whether it proves to be a success or an epic "failure" so many skills will be learned through the experience.<br />
<br />
Start small. Start with something the kids enjoy or something you think you could easily help them with. Some ideas you might like to try:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Baking cupcakes and cookies to sell to neighbors, family and friends. Julie Bogart, creator of Brave Writer has often shared how her son sent himself to space camp just by selling cookies! People love cookies.</li>
<li>If you have an app like Procreate, design (non animate) vector images to sell as clip art on Etsy</li>
<li>Buy cheap items and resell on ebay. Look in charity stores or buy wholesale. </li>
<li>Make natural beauty products like lip balms and soap. They are super easy to make, fun and perfect to sell onto friends.</li>
<li>Start as a Mother's Helper - perfect for teens who are not old enough to babysit alone. A mother's helper is a young teen who will help entertain younger children and keep them busy whilst the mum is doing other things. Maybe she works from home, is homeschooling older kids and needs the little ones busy, or perhaps she is just tired and wants a break to read a book or cook dinner in peace! </li>
<li>Design and print t-shirts. These are pretty cheap to buy plain; just purchase some transfer paper to print onto and iron on.</li>
<li>Make handmade gifts - have a look on places like ebay and Etsy to see what people are doing already that the kids can probably do too. </li>
<li>Handwash cars for neighbours </li>
</ul>
<div>
You have information. You have wisdom and insight. You know how to help your children find what it is they need. <br />
You know how to help your children reach neighbours, family and friends.<br />
You know how to sell through online market places such as local watsapp and facebook selling groups or places like <a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ebay</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=etsy_e&utm_campaign=Search_UK_Brand_Google_HP_General-Brand_Core_General_Exact&utm_ag=A1&utm_custom1=0f0c885b-7b40-4a4f-80cf-a34b19278d62&utm_content=go_1448964936_57199718635_277441683990_aud-463075091918:kwd-1818581752_c_&gclid=CjwKCAiA6bvwBRBbEiwAUER6Jdh0xhKsIfCC4xCPhxDT4P4zWww0BnHimcCZNjLCqvz4wiMB4UoBVBoCIJEQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">Etsy</a>.<br />
<br />
They will need your support and guidance, perhaps a little help with quality-check control, but once they have found their feet you should be able to step back and let them fly alone insha'Allah. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Here's what we did</span></h3>
<div>
<br />
Admittedly it can be easier said than done helping the children get started - I had been talking to my kids about working on something long before I got around to buying what they needed. And then it still took another several months before we got around to actually starting. I ordered some of the materials needed in May or June time, but it wasn't until a sister put on a local kid entrepreneur event in December that we had the push to get up and do something with what we had. But once we got started I don't know why we didn't sooner. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We decided to create a lip balm business....which morphed into a small range of products including bath salts, beard balm, body balm and bath melts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To get started, the children needed inspiration. So they looked at existing products online, printing images to create a large product board, brainstormed name ideas and used <a href="https://www.canva.com/" target="_blank">Canva</a> to design a logo and packaging labels.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xudSNkaBu58/Xg8pLbDclqI/AAAAAAAAlcE/swYjO2wREwkg9KM3Sv5CHQ1BywCEPfIgQCEwYBhgL/s1600/kids%2Bbusiness%2Bproduct%2Bboard.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="product board for kids business ideas" border="0" data-original-height="789" data-original-width="940" height="536" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xudSNkaBu58/Xg8pLbDclqI/AAAAAAAAlcE/swYjO2wREwkg9KM3Sv5CHQ1BywCEPfIgQCEwYBhgL/s640/kids%2Bbusiness%2Bproduct%2Bboard.png" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
They sell their products on local watsapp selling groups and are planning to launch on Etsy soon once they have refined their packaging labels to reflect a more refined and professional branding look insha'Allah.<br />
<br />
As this is the first time the kids have done something like this, of course I helped guide them. I helped them to think about effective design, and whilst it still needs some work to improve, they are well on their way to getting something ready to launch to the world insha'Allah.<br />
How long it will last - I don't know. But it is a better way to teach them about business than just reading a textbook.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">Free kid entrepreneurship workbook</span></h3>
I've created a free workbook you can use with the kids to help them design their own little start-up inshaAllah. It will guide them through brainstorming initial ideas through to designing their product, working out cost and figuring out how to advertise.<br />

Please respect that this resource has cost me not only my time but money to produce.

<br />
I receive questions from mothers unsure whether they should choose school or home education for their growing family.<br />
<br />
I totally get this dilemma; it's something my husband and I faced years ago when trying to figure out what route we should take for ours.<br />
So what is the right thing to do and how do you discover the answer right for you?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>There isn't anything anyone can say about what is best for your family. Each one of us face different circumstances, have different needs and different opportunities available to us.<br />
<br />
For some, amazing schools are close by. For others not so.<br />
For some, access to good Islamic schools is affordable. For others, not.<br />
For some, spousal support is abundant. For others it isn't.<br />
For some, children have special education needs, face bullying, illness or any other number of factors that make certain education routes difficult.<br />
<br />
We really are all different and there truly is no one size fits all approach.<br />
<br />
I always endeavour to reply to everyone who contacts me for advice. However since this is an issue that comes up regularly I figured it would be useful to have something on hand that will provide the guidance that many are looking for. And whilst the advice I can offer is general, my objective in supporting home educating mothers is, and has always been to help you discover the answers you need specific to your situation. The best way to benefit from any answer is to discover them yourself.<br />
<br />

<br />
I've designed this free resource to help you derive the answers unique to your needs, objectives and goals; not mine or anyone else's. To help you choose whether it is school or home education that is the best fit for your family, according to the resources and opportunities you have available to you, and the circumstances you face.<br />
<br />
So if you're torn between school and homeschool, use this guide to help you figure out what you should do inshaAllah.<br />

Ever since I began home educating a decade ago, I've always believed that our community could benefit from training days just as teachers receive training days in school. To continue our own "professional development" in the educating of our own children at home and all that entails. It is certainly something I have always craved for myself and absolutely see the value in. <br />
The role of the home educator is probably one of the biggest learn on the job responsibilities that any of us will ever face - and if there is something out there that can help us get started and find our feet, then brilliant!<br />
<br />
I am thrilled to announce the launch of our four part online workshop: Homeschooling with confidence - a beginners guide to starting homeschool. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Registration is open I am genuinely so excited for this; I really can not wait to work with a whole bunch of you on a much deeper level that the general support and information I love offering through the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/muslimhomeschoolers/?ref=bookmarks" target="_blank">Muslim Homeschoolers Facebook group</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amuslimhomeschool/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> as well as here. There is so much information out there, this workshop aims to give you everything in one place - but more than that, I really want you to walk away completely confident in your ability to start building the homeschool of your dreams that meets the needs of your own family inshaAllah - not mine or anyone else's.<br />

Home education is growing, and within our Muslim community it is gaining popularity fast.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
More and more families are turning to homeschooling, and that is awesome because it means as our community grows, support is easier to find.</div>

No longer is homeschool considered a strange "alternative lifestyle”, but rather it is recognised as a positive and reputable education choice that inspires a love of lifelong learning.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Across America, the number of homeschooled children more than doubled from 1999 to 2012 reaching 1.8 million.</div>

In the UK, over just three years the number shot up by 40% reaching 48,000 in 2017. This figure doesn’t include the numbers of children unknown to council authorities, as if a child has never attended school then it is not a legal requirement to notify the LA.</div>

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Benefits of home education</span></h3>
<br />
Home educating parents experience and report many benefits of homeschooling. I have <a href="http://www.amuslimhomeschool.com/2018/02/100reasonstohomeschoolforthemuslimparent.html" target="_blank">100 reasons to home educate for the Muslim parent</a>, however the following is a brief summary:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Greater emphasis can be given to the Islamic cultivation of children and character building.</li>
<li>More time can be dedicated to the memorisation and understanding of the Qur'an.</li>
<li>Provides the freedom and flexibility to educate at the child's individual level; moving ahead or slowing down as appropriate.</li>
<li>Greater opportunity to follow and develop the child's interests and strengths.</li>
<li>Can get through the same work that is done at school in less time.</li>
<li>Negative peer pressure and bullying can be greatly reduced.</li>
<li>The homeschool day is not limited to Monday-Friday between the hours of 8-3.</li>
<li>Home educated children are shown on average to perform better in standarised testing than their schooled peers. [<a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/aug/30/home-schooling-outstanding-results-national-tests/" target="_blank">1</a>]</li>
<li>Allows children to develop and hold onto their own identity, values and morals with confidence.</li>
<li>It is a more affordable option to Islamic schools.</li>
<li>Parents are in control of what their children learn...or don't learn.</li>
<li>Parents have a greater level of control on what children are exposed to from both positive and negative influences - and are in a strong position to guide their children when issues arise.</li>
<li>Offers quality time for families to spend together.</li>
<li>Children are able to pursue learning subjects of interest or developing skills which are not available in school.</li>
<li>Education and socialisation is not limited to the home in the same way that schooling is limited to the school building.</li>
</ul>

<span style="color: #a64d79;">What is this homeschool workshop?</span></h3>
<span style="color: #a64d79;"></span><br />
Homeschooling with Confidence is the first of a two part series of online workshops that has been designed to help you build the Muslim homeschool of your dreams inshaAllah. <br />
Not my version of a dream homeschool, or anyone else's; YOURS.<br />
<br />
The first is this one - a four week online workshop that offers a beginners guide to the nuts and bolts of getting started as a new home educating mother and is perfect for anyone new to home education, in its early stages or wanting to prepare for future homeschooling.<br />
<br />
I’m here to help inshaAllah.<br />
I’ve been where you are now; a new home educator trying to find my way through the fog, searching for direction and someone to show me how this works!<br />
Since 2011 I've been providing support to new homeschooling Mums, and this workshop is an accumulation of information, insights and experiences designed to save you time figuring this all out alone.<br />
<br />
Whilst home education is nothing at all like school, I have always believed that as home educators we would benefit from training days in the same way that teachers receive training days in school – no matter the stage in our journey. It is something I always wanted for myself when I was a new starter but never found.<br />
<br />
And so this workshop has been designed with that need in mind; as a first stop port to provide information that will aid you - but more than that; help to give you confidence in what you’re doing with your family going forward inshaAllah.<br />
<br />

4 live classes</h4>
Each week you will have a live 1.5 hour class. I know timings can get a little messy depending on what country you're in, so recordings will be available inshaAllah so you can tune in whenever is convenient for you.....and you can still ask questions.<br />
<br />
Please note that the classes are for women only. As a Muslim woman I don't speak openly in front of non Mahrem men, and so it is important that you're able to listen in when no men-folk will be able to hear. You are welcome to share the class notes (see below) with your husband to help you to discuss and plan for your family.<br />

<b>Homeschooling with confidence workbook (PDF)</b><br />
I am super passionate about making sure that you get what you need out of this course. The accompanying workbook has been designed to help you understand your new homeschool and figure out what you want from it.<br />
There really is no one right way to home educate, and through this workbook you will be prompted to think about what you want your homeschool to be and how you can achieve that inshaAllah. My goal isn't to tell you the <i>right way</i> to educate your family. We are all different, facing different situations and having different needs. My objective is to help you find what is a <i>right fit for you.</i><br />

Homeschool FAQs and Coaching eBook</h4>
This FAQs eBook not only answers some frequently asked homeschooling questions, but also provides you with coaching questions to help you find your own answers to the same ones.<br />
As I've already said, my objective is to always help you find the answers that suit you personaly since we're all individual. So whilst I can give general advice, I am a firm believer that the best answers are those which you find solutions for yourself - and here I'll show you how to do that inshaAllah.<br />
<br />
Some of the questions include:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>How can I teach my children if I'm not a qualified teacher?</li>
<li>My family and in-laws are against homeschooling, how do I handle this?</li>
<li>At what age should I begin homeschooling my child?</li>
<li>How many hours do I need to homeschool each day?</li>
<li>How do I fit in all the subjects?</li>
<li>How can I homeschool multiple kids of different ages?</li>

Creating Your Homeschool Map Activity Guide</h4>
As soon as you have enrolled, you will be sent this fun 4 week activity guide (PDF) to help you create a unique homeschool map that meets your own family's specific needs and goals inshaAllah.<br />
<br />
The activities have been designed so that the whole family can participate, however they can be completed alone or with just your husband if your children are particularly young.<br />
<br />
The exercises here can be completed independently of the workshop, so you can start it right away.<br />
<br />

Private Online Forum</h4>
Throughout the 4 week workshop you will have access to a private online forum to allow you to ask questions as well as interact and create discussions with fellow participants. It is a place you can get support from me throughout the duration of the course and benefit from a like-minded tribe.<br />
<br />
The forum is not through Facebook since I know many of you don't use it - you will however need an email to join.<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Who is this homeschool workshop for?</span></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Mums wanting to find out about home education and prepare ready before their children are old enough to start</li>
<li>New homeschool Mums </li>
<li>Homeschool Mums in the early stages of homeschool who are still finding their feet and would like some guidance</li>
<li>Mums who have children already in school and would like to homeschool</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Why join this workshop?</span></h3>
<br />
One of the things I have always advised sisters looking to homeschool or who are in its early stages, is don't do what I did as a new starter; scrolling blog after blog trying to figure this all out and piece together random tid-bits of information.<br />
Instead, find everything you need to know in one place - read books about homeschool and education.<br />
<br />
This workshop is more interactive than a book. It will provide you with everything you need to find your homeschooling feet, all in one place so that you can continue your journey knowing exactly what you need and where to find it.<br />
<br />
So if you want to homeschool but don't know where to start; if you're in the early stages of your homeschool adventure feeling lost and in need of guidance; if you're a new mother planning ahead for when your children are of school age, if you're confused by homeschool methods and learning styles; if you want to know how you can meet the educational needs of your children or you want someone to answer your questions and help show you how to get started and what you'll need...then this workshop is for you.<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Homeschooling With Confidence Workshop FAQs</span></h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
When is it?</h4>
<div>
Sundays, 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th January 2020 at 7:30pm - 9pm GMT (UK Time).<br />
Class recordings available so you can tune in whenever is convenient for you. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Where is it?</h4>
<div>
<div>
A live class will run online once a week for four weeks on <b>Zoom</b> (requires downloading - you will receive the link) so you can join in from anywhere around the world inshaAllah with separate access to a private online forum to ask questions and discuss anything between classes. </div>
</div>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
How much does it cost?</h4>
The total is £40 inclusive of all classes and digital materials (4 classes, 4 detailed class notes, workbook, FAQs eBook, activity guide and forum access).<br />
<br />
<b>Can I split the payment?</b><br />
<b></b><br />
You can pay the workshop fee in full, or alternately you can make 2 equal payments of £20. You can sign up with the instalment option until 30th November 2019. After this date, enrolment is only possible with payment of the fee in full.<br />
<br />
<b>Do I need Facebook?</b><br />
I know many of you don't use Facebook, and so I have created a private forum away from social media. The only thing you will need is your email address to sign up.<br />
<br />
<b>Can I share the classes and materials?</b><br />
Enrolment is for one attendee. The classes and workshop material are for one user only and can not be shared (the exception is sharing the written material with your husband).<br />
<br />
<b>Can men join?</b><br />
My classes are strictly for women only. I trust that attendees will not listen where men will be able to hear since I do not speak openly in front of non-mahram men.<br />
Women however are welcome to share the reading material and class notes with their husband.<br />
<br />
<b>Why is this not free?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>I love helping my sisters, and will continue to offer general advice and resources through my blog which I don't seek any payment for bi'ithnillah.<br />
However I realise that there is a need for a deeper level of information and support than I am able to give freely. I want to give you the best experience so you can take away real benefit inshaAllah.<br />
A great deal of time has gone into the preparation of this program in order to provide that higher level of support and benefit. The proceeds help to pay for programmes used to create and host the workshop, as well as compensate my time which allows me to create such higher depth of resources.<br />
