Although you know exactly what you should be doing at a particular moment, on a specific day of your homeschool, do you still struggle to accomplish it? There are times when even the best-laid homeschool plans don't work out. When this happens, it can leave you feeling stressed and anxious. All of us have done it. Despite creating seemingly perfect plans, they get discarded after a few weeks. How come we spend so much time creating plans and then have trouble sticking to our homeschool plans? In Episode 90 of the Raising Mums podcast, I share how you can stick to your homeschool plans. Points to be taken away:- The initial period requires some experimentation and time to figure things out. It's ok if you don't get it right the first time!Are you being over ambitious or unrealistic considering the season of life you find yourself inDo you tell yourself you never follow through on things? Do you tell other people you can't stick to plans? If you want to, you'll need to change that part of your identity! Related: Start Your Homeschool Strong BOOTCAMP!

Reflecting on the 99 Names of Allah with Children
In Episode 95 of theRaising Mums podcast I interview the multi-award winning poet, Mona Zac. Sheshares advice on how we can use poetry to encourage our children to reflect on the 99 names of Allah. In this practical and inspiring episode, sister Mona tells us why pondering on creation helps our children to connect with Allah. Sister Mona describes herself as a dreamer, writer, and poet with a headful of ideas. She regularly thinks up and manages projects that her friend (and illustrator) Neamah Aslam beautifully executes. Mona can usually be found doing research for her projects with 100 tabs open, studying for her unending classes, or beating her children at card games. In this episode Sister Mona shares: How she became a writer and got into the publishing industry The power of rhymes and poetry How learning and discussing His 99 Names helps children to know and love their Lord Why learning in a group or community is valuable The relationship between love and learning How to help your children see the signs of Allah all around them Important Links Intro Music – by PEARLS OF ISLAM:https://www.pearlsofislam.co.uk(Bismillah from the album “Love is My Foundation”) Books by Mona Zac:Connecting with Allah - a collection of poetryFill Me Up - a gratitude journal Visit Mona's Website:https://www.zacandaslam.com Connect with Sister Mona on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/zacandaslam Sign Up for Homeschooling Resources and ourFREE NEWSLETTER:https://ourmuslimhomeschool.com
Connecting our Children to the Prophet ﷺ with Ustadha Bano Murtuja
In Episode 94 of theRaising Mums podcast, I interview Ustadha Dr Bano Murtuja about how we can help our children connect to the Prophet ﷺ. Dr Bano Murtuja is a teacher of sacred sciences with a passion for the Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. In this episode, Ustadha shares with us: Her experience in building a connection with the Prophet ﷺ and how it has and continues to, transform her life. How we can bring the Prophet ﷺ into a child's education. How a mother can still teach her child the Seerah even if she feels that she doesn't know enough? An important way to protect the faith of our children. How to encourage our children to connect and love the Prophet ﷺ Quotable Moments "This job, that was incredible but never quite fulfilled me, all of those empty spaces he ﷺ filled. The moral compass that I was always...Is this the right thing? Where do I need to go? How do I need to do this? ...He ﷺ was the direction I always needed. But more than all of that, in all of my religious practice, when I got to know the Prophet ﷺ everything became, not just easy, but beloved." - Ustadha Bano Murtuja "Let me show you who the best person was and let's aspire to develop that because that is who the best person was and is, and that is how we're going to be better. That, in and of itself, is an incredibly powerful dynamic." - Ustadha Bano Murtuja Important Links Intro Music - by PEARLS OF ISLAM: https://www.pearlsofislam.co.uk (Bismillah from the album "Love is My Foundation") COURSES with Dr Bano: https://www.banomurtuja.com Dr Bano's SEERAH PODCAST: https://storiesfromtheseerah.supercast.com Connect with Dr Bano on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StoriesfromtheSeerah and on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/storiesfromtheseerah/ Sign Up for Homeschooling Resources and our FREE NEWSLETTER: https://ourmuslimhomeschool.com
Homeschooling and Socialisation - The Reality!
Homeschooling socialisation is one of the most common comments or questions parents receive. Almost every argument involving homeschooling revolves around this: "Homeschooled children don't get enough socialisation.". Nobody ever worries about whether our children will get a good education at home, but we hear a lot about children needing school for socialisation. It is a well-known fact that homeschoolers have been subjected to the socialisation argument for quite some time, but what is the reality in relation to homeschooling socialisation? In Episode 93 of the Raising Mums podcast, I discuss homeschooling socialisation. Homeschooling and Socialisation References: The Prophet ﷺ was reported to have said, "I have been sent to perfect good character." [al-Muwaṭṭa’ 1614, Sahih]The Prophet ﷺ was reported to have said, “A man follows the religion of his friend; so each one should consider whom he makes his friend” [Abu Dawud]"He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm." [Proverbs, 13:20] Study by Shyers, Hedin, Montgomery et al. showed a significant advantage seen in homeschooled kids, with regards to their social development.Thomas Smedley (1992), in a controlled study, found that "...home educated in this sample were significantly better socialized and more mature than those in public school."

Homeschooling success depends on the mother's emotional regulation. The curriculum she picks, her daily routine, and her knowledge of education are helpful. But, if she cannot see through the fog of her emotions, she will not be able to see the truth of what her children need, how to best educate them, and will struggle to enjoy the privilege that is home education.
