@DNurseAdvocate I have a quote to my name now!!!
Woohoo’

“Release yourself from the pressure of being a perfect parent. You are not perfect yourself” - Madueke-Ozorue, 2021

Time is God's gift.
Use it wisely..

[Frances the Montessori directress @frances_mo_]

In a society that isn't receptive to therapy, please let's all learn to have a rethink before we act/react. 'Hurt people hurt people' is no longer a good enough/acceptable excuse. Shalom

[Frances the Montessori directress @frances_mo_]

You know, we all need to accept that we've had our own fair share of happenings that have in one way or another shaped who/what we are/have become. Some of those things aren't good things. We are products of past trauma, hurt, pain, and grief.

In other cases, there's been one unreasonable set goal or another. Unfortunately, some school owners pander to them and put these poor kids through said torture. After all, they can't afford to lose 'money'.

[Frances the Montessori directress @frances_mo_]

Reading this as a school owner in Nigeria, I wish some parents would understand that it is indeed torture.
A parent is currently threatening to pull her kids because the 3yo can not write 1-100 even though I specifically told her we use the Montessori method upon registration.

Unlike my son, he was looking forward to Nigeria and he was perfecting his Yoruba.
We went in August and he went to holiday coaching for just 4 days( 10am-2pm) with other kids.

Back to the UK, on the train after a quick nap, he just started lamenting on how Nigeria drained him.
He asked why they do so much work in class, why don’t they have toys or TV to watch?
Why do they have to write so much words?
He said “I wanted to cry cause I’m tired but the teacher told me not to cry”.
Why do the kids don’t cry in class, even when teacher beat a pupil?

In conclusion, he’s not going back anytime soon 😭😭

What conversations are you postponing until you're ready?

What if ready comes after goodbyes?

What change are you looking to make?

Are you actively working towards making that change?

Money is not scarce. Value is scarce. Give value, and it'll attract you money.

You see that speech where Achalugo saved Odogwu's part for the last and then rained praises on him?
Do that to an Igbo man, and you've successfully got yourself a finished man!

He was even blushing. Nodding, shaking head, looking sideways, smiling. A finished man! 💯

@RealJerryEze FRANCES, KEEP RUNNING

[The Gertrude @GertrudeUmeh]

Access is currency.

Earned slowly, multiplied through trust.

But mishandle it, and it vanishes…not with a bang, but with quiet closed doors you’ll stare at, which you used to walk through.

[Frances the Montessori directress @frances_mo_]

Awards DO NOT define the kids.
Please give your child's school owner, head, or teacher grace. The anxiety they go through is REAL.

[Frances the Montessori directress @frances_mo_]

Graduation season is upon us (soon). Watch school owners give all manner of awards to pupils just to please parents. What exactly is 'best in controlling others'? 😫🙄

Dear parents, all of our kids DO NOT have to win awards, and that's perfectly fine.
