The Parenting and Child Development Chaos and Complexity

It is essential to recognise that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to responding to a child’s distress. Each child is unique, influenced by their individual temperament, developmental stage, and family dynamics. It is not uncommon for children of different attachment styles to exhibit various responses, which does not necessarily imply that something is wrong. Instead, it reflects the complexity and diversity of human experiences.

A lived experience with prematurity – by Tasmin Bota and Ferhensha

In 2017 I gave birth to my middle son. It was just at 28 weeks gestation, weighing in at 1,080kg, that my baby boy came into the world. A world where he will be required to gain the survival skills to thrive. Who ever thinks that their placenta would rupture? Due to placenta abruption, we welcomed my baby earthside earlier than expected.

what do sharing and consent have in common

What do sharing and consent have in common? Everything!

Children and sharing anything became something challenging to navigate for us. Effectively, we came into that understanding from past experience, conditioning and generational views.

Most of which don’t make much sense now. Just like how we will not force our child to apologise, but rather build the understanding of apologising, we will not be forcing them to share for any reason.

Not because they have more than others, because someone else shared with them, or because it is the kind thing to do.

Star+Crossed is a production that left me in tears and validated

Star+Crossed was a production that left me in tears and feeling validated. As the story unfolded into a reality we, as South Africans, may all know, I became enthralled. Love stories show up as inspired writings from individuals who share their experiences of love. One such lover on whose life this production is partly based was Elizabeth Klarer. In her story, she shares her sexual relationship with a man of an advanced extraterrestrial civilisation. Consequently described as eccentric for her Star+Crossed love claims.

Our visit to the World of Birds (Animal Sanctuary) – A Review

Treading amongst nature’s most cute, smelly, noisy creations is always a treat. Our visit to the World of Birds in Hout Bay was no less than a beautiful treat. Although at times, an attack on the senses.

A painful experience I wish to talk about and finally bring to light…

I had a stellar reputation and outstanding references. My home and heart were open to my career and the families in my care. I changed children’s lives and, as a result, their families. In my archives and a little box of memories, I have hundreds of personal letters from families whose children I taught.

I did not know that my sentimental keepsake would become evidence to save my reputation.

The Art of Crying is but just a tear away.

The perpetuation of these suppressed emotional cycles, as we’ve experienced, has not been helpful. They encourage and feed into violent behaviour, GBV and continuous toxicity within connected environments, creating a culture that genuinely isn’t serving anyone if we are all brutally honest with ourselves.

The Setting, Applying and Upholding of Boundaries

Below, I discuss boundaries specific to interconnected love interactions and family and friend relationships. Even though I decided to concentrate on those, the application is relevant to all living spaces. Furthermore, a general understanding of what they are and how to set, apply and uphold them will be covered.

The Setting, Applying and Upholding of Boundaries – Part 2

Boundaries are there to protect our overall well-being. It communicates what is acceptable and what isn’t concerning our general safety. Moreover, it allows us insight into what safety and tolerance look like for ourselves so that we can thrive and not live in fear. Boundaries also give us a sense of self, our life values and how to uphold them.
