NURTURE? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Here are a few definitions:

To care for and protect (someone or something) while they are growing.
To help (something or someone) to grow, develop,
or succeed.
The above sound like parenting to me.
So let's slow down and smell the roses
Listen attentively to their stories
Enjoy the magic of the excitement in their voices as they talk about their interests
Sing,dance, and cook together
Watch a movie, sit around doing nothing together
Cut down the schedule - being busy does not equate to being productive.
Focus on activities that help them thrive
Because nurturing never happens in a rush
Nurturing occurs when we are present ......

Cheering you on
Folakemi

Forget the attitude
Ignore the sighs
Pay no heed to the eye rolls.
What that crabby teen wants to know deep down is
Do you see me?
Do you hear me?
Do I matter to you no matter what?

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing women in the world❤️.

Here is a reminder that you matter, your story matters, broken crayons still colour.

Look into the future with hope.

You are beautiful in and out, you are NOT your mistakes and if nobody else is cheering you on I am.

I celebrate you women.

❤️

Help is here, hope is nigh, lockdown is easing, Spring is creeping in.

Welcome to March friends. Here’s one of my favourite scriptures.

What are you looking forward to in March?

I look up to the mountains—
    does my help come from there?

My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth!

He will not let you stumble;
    the one who watches over you will not slumber.

Indeed, he who watches over Israel
    never slumbers or sleeps.

The Lord himself watches over you!
    The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.

The sun will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon at night.

The Lord keeps you from all harm
    and watches over your life.

The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
    both now and forever. 🙏🏾 #

Valentine challenge

❤️Happy Valentine’s Day folks
Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, love is an indispensable part of our lives.

❤️Just a reminder that you are loved unconditionally by the one who made you.

❤️Here is your challenge
Think of that person that rubs you on the wrong side(I won’t ask you who 😀)

❤️Fold a piece of paper in two, on one side write all the things the person does that annoys you.

❤️On the other side write your responses to the irritations you experience from that person- be honest 😄

❤️Now look at your portion of the list, is that the person you want to be?

❤️When I did it I was horrified😱- not the kind of list you leave hanging around - read it and rip it up.

❤️Okay feel free to judge me, if you are a saint😜

❤️However what are you gonna do about your side of the list?

❤️Please come back and share your insights.

Hi guys
It’s a cold day today in the U.K, snow and or predicted snow for many regions.

The cold weather always seem to surprise me and each cold winter spell appears colder than the last one.

Winters cold and dark days can be quite depressing. Add ongoing lockdown in England due to the pandemic, you have a toxic mixture.

We have to consciously watch our moods and choose our responses Today I chose to dress up wear some bling to give my spirit a lift I’m still working from home. Swipe right🙈I’m upping my photo game by the way 😄

How can children express themselves?

How do you like to express yourself? ✨

We asked children from two Place2Be partner schools to tell us how they like to express themselves, and how it makes them feel when they do.

Hi how have you been? Here in the UK it is lockdown 3.0.

This week 1st- 7th February is Children’s Mental health week. The theme of this year is Express Yourself.

The aim of this year’s theme is to encourage children to find ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through creativity. It is to encourage children to find a way to show who they are, and how they see the world.

This season more than ever, our children need to express themselves because they are living under enormous pressure – no matter how young they are, they sense the pressure and identify the unease in the atmosphere.

As parents and carers, you play an important role in your child’s mental health. You are positioned to help them express themselves creatively.

Here is a link to some creative ways children can express themselves in this season. https://www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk/news/i-express-myself-through-virtual-sessions-on-creative-expression/

Here are some tips to support your children at home

1. Be a role model- It’s a tough season, show the children how you are coping with difficult feelings by acknowledging your feelings and processing them appropriately and looking after yourself.

2.Make time out to talk with each child individually- through regular ‘check in’ with them while doing chores/activities together, so they get used to talking about their feelings. Listen attentively to them without fixing the problem or offering immediate solution.

3.Play together- play helps us relax- try board games, puzzles, riddles, Sudoku so they learn to relax and solve problems.

Futures teen academy is hosting a special Mental Health Masterclass next Saturday

2nd of February! So glad to be alive.

🧩1-7th February is mental health for children week.

🧩We cannot afford to think children are not feeling the stress or they are too young to understand.

🧩We live in trying times and our teens and pre teens are seriously feeling the pinch.

🧩Lockdown in various forms all over the world is beginning to take its toll on the mental health of everyone.

🧩The Sunday times reports that a quarter of teens surveyed are showing signs of depression - struggling with concentration and have trouble sleeping.

🧩We are all under pressure but must take time out to reassure our young ones, let them express their feelings and fears and talk through them - what is within our control? What is not?

🧩Register them for the upcoming Rest, recalibrate and rebound conference. We will be talking about stress points and how to recognise and develop coping strategies.

Registration👇🏽

Hello family, here is a quick message to wish you an amazing Christmas and a healthy & prosperous 2021.

2020 has been challenging for us all and lots of people would rather forget about 2020, rough as it may have been, I am grateful for the gift of life.

As we look forward to 2021, I believe that it is going to be different. A new year, a fresh start, and hopefully, we will get back to life with greater freedom, health and peace.

From all of us at Futures we wish you a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to supporting you on your parenting journey and the personal development of your teen in 2021!

Kind regards,

Lamentations 3:22-23
22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

For mercies, countless as the sands
Which daily I receive
From Jesus, my Redeemer’s hands,
My soul, what canst thou give?

Alas! from such a heart as mine,
What can I bring Him forth?
My best is stained and dyed with sin,
My all is nothing worth.

Yet this acknowledgement I’ll make
For all He has bestowed;
Salvation’s sacred cup I’ll take,
And call upon my God.

The best return for one like me,
So wretched and so poor;
Is from His gifts to draw a plea,
And ask Him still for more.

I cannot serve him as I ought,
No works have I to boast;
Yet would I glory in the thought
That I shall owe Him most.

Hi everyone
The Futures Academy is taking off soon. This platform comes with many benefits some of which are providing a safe platform for your teen and pr***en to learn and grow.

Futures Parents platform is a judgement free zone for you as parents to network, be supported and equipped in parenting during the teen years.

Here's another benefit that you may be interested in - knowing that you are not alone, other parents have similar challenges and there are many ways to solve a problem.

At the end of the day, we all want to raise productive and respectable citizens and you don't have to walk alone as you do so.


You can be rest assured that as an education professional myself, and a parent, all necessary safeguarding, data protection and privacy precautions are in place.
