Parents' Guide to Creating Early Readers at Home

Journaling - one of the activities Aarron usually engages in after an adventure. Sometimes, when he feels like jotting down his thoughts after a playtime with friends.

This habit teaches a child to express, formulate his thoughts, construct good sentences, master the use of punctuations, and enrich his vocabulary.

I'll never stop chasing what matters most.
I'll never stop spying for what's better and best.
I'll search the world how to live happily until I find it though the world is vast.
I'll keep praying for world peace, good and honest politicians, & good governance.
I'll keep praying for a healthy planet and healthy 'us' in the family, that includes the family where the blood of my veins flows just the same.
I'll keep remembering that from the dust we are and to dust we shall return - so that I must only seek those that give their utmost value to life.
I'll put every potential to full bloom.
I'll never stop chasing the stars until I see that the dawn glimmers with smiles and the overlays are full of joy.
I'll push 'courage' to always withstand the thorns that grow my way.
I'll keep strengthening my bones so that I can walk the valleys of hope.
I'll keep refining my heart so that it can always feel how the hearts around beat, thus makes it reasonably sensible.
I'll read more so that my brain may understand better the flaws I detest, the facts I adore, the people I hate and the people I love.

Life is about how we want to evolve. The more simple we seek for the stuff to add to life, the more simple it becomes.

Life has to grow merrily. Let's fill out every chapter with the best of the best regardless of the challenges we have in our midst.

Life has to be brave. Hope must never die down how feeble we have become.

Life is about creating a beautiful story amidst the storms, because the storms can't be plucked away. They are part of the concoction of human life.

Life is about God and the prayers we seek from Him. It must be on top of the list.

As we wait for 2024 to commence, palitan niyo na po ang kalendaryo niyo at sa bawat numero nito ay inyong isulat "sisimulan kong masaya ang bawat araw ko at ako'y magtatagumpay sa bawat naisin ko."

Cheers!

Parents' Guide to Creating Early Readers at Home This is a beginning reading guide which could help parents to introduce to their preschoolers the basic approach to reading. It has short stories with illustrations so the child will enjoy their early journey to reading.

Anything or (anyone) that is heavy to bear is toxic.

As we move forward and plan our days for 2024, let's start to magnify ourselves by discarding anything or (anyone) that causes blur vision to our journey. May we all walk with less baggage both in our hearts and minds, less baggage in terms of the tangible aspects of living such as furniture, cutleries, clothing, etc. so that we can 'walk light' all throughout the year and in the coming years.

And as we guide our children as they face the world, please be reminded that we model as we guide. We model as we teach. Let's not overwhelm them of the world's excesses. Overwhelm them of your love and respect they deserve.

Let's declutter, detach and delete. That's for our own sanity. Let's focus what is essential to our mental health. ☺️

Let's get ready for 2024!

Let's allow our children to enjoy their toys. Dati, upset ako kapag toys are cluttered. Ngayong they're growing up, when toys are all fixed and kept, nararamdaman ko na parang may kulang sa araw ko kaya gusto ko silang naglalaro Ng laruan nila. Besides, an naman ang buhay muna nila bilang bata.

Ang bilis ng panahon. Madaming bagay na ginagawa na ng mga anak ko nang kusa. Organizing the contents of our ref, dusting off the stairs, washing the dishes, folding clean clothes, fixing mess in the room. And when I reckon, I used to dread the part where I thought I couldn't sit comfortably, because the piles of chores didn't seem to lessen. Well, I'm wrong. Now, I'm faced with the fact that I should pray harder so they won't change and carry the habit until forever.

What I fear now. Oh, the choosing of peers. They say how arrogant to choose people to surround your children. It's not about wealth. It's not about power. It's about the positive influence these people will do to our kids. Though I believe that a child who has a strong foundation is able to withstand bad behaviours, I still believe that constant companions should possess behaviours worth emulating. So, as we choose good books, we choose good people to surround our kids with, too. They must go hand in hand.
