For my first post I would like to share a recent experience. As I mentioned before I am a very passionate teacher. I just love to see the way a child is capable of learning. You can tell from the expression on their little faces that they are amazed at their work and they feel so proud. It is an extraordinary feeling to know that you have helped them feel this way about learning. When you get good feedback from the parents, that is just the cherry on top.

I give private lessons to kids all ages, and today it was time to say goodbye to two sweet kids, a 6 and a 7 year old. When I first started working with them the parents were especially concerned about the little one. This boy (as all other little boys) was extremely interesting, especially the way he was so fascinated with amphibians. They were concerned because they thought I would have a hard time since he had never showed any interest in schoolwork. But by the end of the four weeks they told me how thankful they were, and I could feel their appreciation. This is a good feeling, yet a better one was when he hugged me and said "I'm gonna miss you so much" .. I'm so proud of him! He was just great. Thank God for children, they bring so much joy into this world!

Sometimes as parents we can worry a little too much. We have to remember that these little ones are not as complicated as we are as adults. You need only to be straightforward, honest, and have congruency in your words and actions to make them feel confident and secure. This will help them grow into self-confident adults therefore helping them live a happier life.

My blog and I

Working with children is my passion. I was a teacher for more than 15 years to  elementary and middle school kids.  I am a proud mother of three children, with the youngest one entering his teenage years. I like to share the knowledge I have aquired throughout the years about kids and motherhood. I hope that my experiences are helpful for new moms out there. I am always happy to listen to other moms and exchange opinions and advise.

I want to invite you all to keep coming back regularly and check for new posts. My objective for this blog is that you find the content interesting, fun, usefull, and insightfull.

Feel free to leave any comments or questions that you might have. I want this blog to be a place where mothers can exchange stories and experiences, but most of all to give and recieve advise when needed.

love,

Martha
