Alhamdulillah...the preview went well. A BIG THANK YOU for parents who came with your child(s). We started with du'a & the ever famous "Good Morning" song. The kids were quite shy in the beginning but as the session progressed, they started to open up & became comfortable in no time.
Here are a few pictures during the session (thanks to sister Hani who came over for the pictures!)...
Drawing their palm using crayons before they coloured it..
Look, I can draw!..with daddy's/mommy's help that is....:-)
Lemme do it all by myself, mommy....
The parachute play that they liked the most....weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
After they were all done, snacks were served (alas, no photos!)...baked macaroni & chocolate moist cuppies..Alhamdulillahhh....
Once again, teacher Fiza would like to extend her deepest gratitude for those who took the time & made the effort to come for the preview last Saturday. Hope to see all of you in January 2012, Insya Allahhh...:-)
How are you doing people? Hope everything is going on smoothly under HIS care & blessing no matter where you are.
I know it's been AGES since I last wrote here. But that doesn't mean I've neglected this blog & also the playgroup. All updates are on FB since it's faster & more convenient. In the meantime, the love for it has grown fonder & now we have expanded. Yess, expanded....and that means we have the WHOLE OF ALIMkids PROGRAMMES HERE IN WANGSA MAJU!! It hasn't been that easy, but somehow we managed & the rest is from HIM the Almighty, alhamdulillah. Our main mission is to make the programmes more & more reachable to people so that many would benefit from it.
Thus, I humbly would like to invite everybody out there to come to our ALIMkids Bookshop Wangsa Maju's Open day this SUNDAY, 11th December 2011. Details are as follows...
Don't know where we are? We are at 67-1, Jalan 2/27F, Pusat Bandar Wangsa Maju (KLSC), Wangsa Maju Seksyen 5, 53300 KL. It's near Carrefour & Wangsa Walk, behind Genius Aulad Wangsa Maju, down the same road as MomsLittleOnes Wangsa Maju (MLO) where we were before, & Cosy Place Restaurant, opposite pondok polis rakan cop, 1st floor, old building. Long-winded & confused? Hehe..don't be. Just look for the banner outside the premise...
So mark your calendar & do pay us a visit this Sunday on our Open Day. Together we share what we have to offer at ALIMkids...^_^
Masya Allah...without we realising it, it's been a month plus since the last post. Hopefully everything is okay for everybody.....
I just want to draw your attention to this....
"Allah gave me my children, and at the end of the day, I will return them to Him. In what condition do I want to return them to Him? How far different will they be as compared with the day they were born?"
Stumbled upon it when I was reading an article on homeschooling by Maria Zain & it really made me think....deeply. So what do you think? I think the playgroup has given me the opportunity to at leastplay a little role in establishing good values in the little khalifahs, be it from the the child's development or Islamic view. May Allah give us the strength, patience & wisdom to take care of our children so that they will returned to the Creator in the same condition, if not better than the day they were born....amin Insya Allah...
So, let's play another little role of ours that has already become our routine with our child....the playgroup sessions. Don't forget that IT WILL BE ON as usual. Teacher Fiza just can't wait to see you guys after one week break....
Oh yess...& I just wanna share this wonderful write upfrom one of the mommies in Group 1. Perhaps you could also read & share her breastfeeding experience too....
I bet dealing with our kids everyday, especially toddlers, are fun. They will always have something to say, to do, to explore & to experiment. Those are the things that can make our day, cheer us up or even drive us mad. More often than not, whey they do drive us mad, we would yell or shout at them in anger & disagreement on whatever they do. Personally, I myself is no exception. And I hate & regret it after that...
Then, a friend of mine shared this article & I've practised it since...if not all, a few of it. So now I share it here for other parents to share. May it will help us in educating & bringing up our children to be a great little khalifahs, Insya Allah...
1. Breathe: Feeling like losing your mind? Inhale and exhale until you are fine. You may want to walk away from the scene. In Islam, we are also taught that if you started to feel angry, sit if you stand, lie if you sit. And put off the fire with water (wudhu).
2. Address the behaviour: When you’re teaching your children to ride their bikes, do you punish them when they don’t get it the first try? Of course not. You encourage them, support them, and give them guidance. The same goes to teach them what’s right and what’s wrong.
3. Mean business without being mean: tell them what you wanted them to do, firmly and with love.
4. Help your kids to understand their feelings: teach our children how to effectively express themselves by validating their feelings without validating their behaviour.
5. Have Clear Rules & Follow Through: Do not threat them. Show them the consequences of not following the rules.
6. Give praise for okay behaviour: Pay attention to your kids especially when they show good behaviour. Kids would do anything to get you focus.
7. A strong bond makes discipline easier: the closer you are to your child, the less likely your child is to act up, even though no child is perfect.
8. Put yourself in their shoes: No one loves to be yelled at. Kids have feelings too.
9. Good eating & sleeping habits: Kids will act up when they are hungry and tired. Keep well-balanced diet and good sleep. Parents included. Everybody will be happy when they are full and fresh.
10. We’re not perfect: To err is human. But do explain to your kids why do you yell when you have cooled down. Tell them that if they cooperate, so will you.
Hope everybody is in the pink of health under HIS care & blessings amidst all the things that needs to be done.
Personally, I was quite occupied lately (which has driven her to quite stressful situations, especially at work)...& that was the main reason why was the blog remained silent.
Anyway, now the situation is a little better so hopefully I can give some attention to update the blog on a more regular basis..
Though the blog was silent, it was all the opposite at the playgroup. We took part at the Smart Kids 2011exhibition in PWTC last month & as the aftermath, the playgroup now has already 3 groups ....yeayy....alhamdulillahhh....
So starting from this Saturday, GROUP 3 is officially on board from 12.30pm - 1.30pm. We still have a few more spots to offer, so check us out to find out more...& bet you know who to call...
Till then, may you guys are always blessed by HIS Almighty & take care...
