Eyes on the Quiet

Whenever there is an event at your
school, like an annual concert or sports day, or any event where all the children are gathered together in a basketball court or an auditorium, they are usually dancing, screaming, enjoying themselves. How many of us notice a child or two in the same room who are not enjoying themselves? They might be sitting quietly, just staring at what's going on around them, or sitting away from their classmates. Why are they not having fun? They could be tired or just having a bad day because they didn't sleep well or eat well.
But sometimes, you find stories from these children that will break your heart.

Watch out for them, as their teacher if you earn their trust and they tell you what’s bothering them, they might sleep better that night!

Taqabbalallahu Minna Wa Minkum
(May Allah accept from us and you)

May this Eid bring you and your loved ones closer, fill your hearts and homes with love, happiness and peace.
Let us also remember those who are less fortunate and in need of our support. Let us spread kindness and generosity.

WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY 💙

Inclusion goes beyond simply bringing people into existing spaces; it's about creating entirely new, improved spaces where everyone belongs.

Let's create spaces that welcome people with autism and celebrate how special they are. When we all understand and accept each other, we make life better for everyone. Let's build a world where everyone is seen, respected, and valued.

Each child grieves differently, and there is no right or wrong way or length of time to grieve.

Grief can be loud, quiet, public, private and everything in between. It is important to listen and take cues from the child, rather than assume you know what that child needs.

In this episode, we'll explore the various ways in which children express their grief, the common reactions they may exhibit, and how parents and other family members can best support them through this challenging time.

Imagine a world where your body and voice seem to have a mind of their own. Every movement, every sound, like a song that keeps changing unexpectedly. This is what it's like for people with Tourette syndrome.

Tourette syndrome is a complicated brain condition. People with Tourette syndrome often have body movements and sounds they can't control. These movements and sounds are called tics. Many people think this condition only involves saying bad words or doing strange things, but that's not true. This condition covers a wide range of different tics, like movements and sounds, and each person's Tourette syndrome is different.

Each child may respond differently, so what works for one may not work for another. That’s why parents need to be flexible and try different ways to help their child with Selective Mutism.

By paying attention and talking to the child, parents can find what works best for them.

03/03/2024

Selective mutism is a condition in which a child is unable to speak in certain situations, despite being fully capable of speech in others.

According to DSM-5, selective mutism is often accompanied by social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, phobias, and situational oppositional behaviors are also common. For example, a child may be unable to speak at school and can communicate without difficulty at home. It’s called selective mutism because a child is only mute in select situations.

Imagine being a child entering a classroom full of children, feeling the urge to speak but unable to utter a single word. Or imagine a grown-up at work who really wants to join in the talk but feels paralyzed by the inability to speak up. This is the reality for individuals with selective mutism.

We never know exactly what a student may be going through when they walk through the doors of the classroom, but if they are struggling or having a bad day, we can provide support and understanding.

By reading these stories, one might strike a chord with a student, even if we’re unaware of it, helping them feel understood in their own experiences. Stories allow children to feel acknowledged, and that recognition can be incredibly impactful.

When your child misbehaves they don’t directly cause you anger. You cause your own anger by the way you view their misbehavior and by your irrational self-talk statements about their behavior. You make yourself intensely upset by complaining that your child’s behavior is horrible, terrible, and awful, and that you can’t stand it. Realize that you can change your child’s behavior without upsetting yourself.

As parents we control our anger, by taking responsibility for our feelings and our behavior when angry. We do this by acknowledging that our self-talk statements, and our beliefs and expectations for our child’s behavior, directly control our feelings and behavior. Realize it’s rational and helpful to feel only disappointed, annoyed, and irritated at our child. It’s irrational to feel angry to such a degree that we might emotionally or physically hurt a child we love. Don’t nurture and intensify hurtful anger.

Parents are encouraged to apply STOP-THINK-ACT method by Lynn Clark to manage their anger in their daily interactions with children:

STOP: Pause in the heat of the moment when you feel anger rising. Take a deep breath and step back mentally from the situation. Interrupt the automatic response of intense anger.

THINK: Reflect on your thoughts and self-talk statements about your child’s behavior. Challenge irrational beliefs and expectations that fuel intense anger. Remind yourself that you have control over your reactions and emotions.

ACT: Choose a constructive response to your child’s misbehavior. Instead of reacting with intense anger, express disappointment, annoyance, or irritation calmly and assertively. Communicate your expectations and boundaries clearly while offering guidance and support to your child.

By implementing the STOP-THINK-ACT method, we empower ourselves to manage anger responsibly and positively influence our interactions with our children.

Being a parent means making mistakes, facing challenges, and growing along the way. We're not perfect, and we learn while raising our children. Sometimes, we worry that our mistakes might harm our relationship with them. But in the midst of all the ups and downs, there's hope, there's a chance to make things right and strengthen our bond with our children.

Families today are busier than ever. Everyone’s on a different schedule. And between work and taking care of the kids, you may feel you don’t have the time or energy to sit and have a ‘Family Conversation’

Having a child who learns and thinks differently can make family time seem even harder. But there are real benefits to sitting down to dinner as a family, in a car ride, or before bed. There are ways to make the process easier.

✅Talk and tell stories. Family conversations can help increase a child’s vocabulary. Plus, hearing his family’s stories can help build your child’s resilience. This is especially important for kids with learning and thinking differences.

✅Pick a topic and take turns sharing stories.

✅Practice Listening with without judgement.

✅Avoid any urge to “fix” or correct or solve what someone else is saying.

It’s very important to have a conversation about a ‘mistake’ you made this week.

💟Normalize making mistakes.

💟Share your mistake and how you handled it- model accountability not perfection.

💟Don’t offer solutions, ask them “what do you think, you can do?”

💟“Would you do it differently if it happens again?”

Family conversations are an effective tool to bring up topics your child may be struggling with, creating an environment free from judgement, shame or guilt.

SEL Skills in Everyday Life- Ep. 77

Tonight, we explore everyday adventures of children through the lens of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). I cannot even begin to emphasize how important it is for parents and schools to understand the need for Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in a child's life. It is not just an educational buzzword; it's a fundamental aspect of a child's development that impacts their overall well-being and success.

In this episode, we explore the family environment, school, playground, and digital world to discuss how SEL shapes children's lives. From morning routines and family relationships to classroom collaborations and after-school activities, we'll explore how SEL empowers children to get through challenges, build connections, and thrive in a complex and ever-changing world.
