I'm graduating!
Alhamdulillah...finally completed and graduated from 4 months of Froebel Professional Development Course (FPDC). Yeay!!
Even though I had been to medical school and was a MO at paeds, this is a totally different view and experience of learning on children. Exploring play and its relation to their physical, mental, emotion, social development, and so much more. I am amazed how beautiful the natural process is, how precious and sensitive children are, how much they have taken in and how much the adults may have 'hurt' them.
This journey is not only about learning and understanding children, but also a learning and a healing process for myself. The most challenging, but also an important part is to unschool my thoughts; to unlearn and relearn. A lot of peeling happened, layers by layers, with lots of reflections, and understanding more of myself.
I don't have any children of my own, but I am a parent first for myself, my inner child. I am also here, trying to be a support system to my immediate social circle, and to learn together.
Main take-away for myself:
parent ourselves before we parent others remember to pause, breath, reconnect with own self childhood trauma comes in many forms, don't resent it but reflect on it, and break the cycle set clear boundaries and learn to self regulate trust the process respect the children, they have their own rights too children is the mirror of adults around them connect before react when dealing with children it takes a village to raise a child change starts with us This is not a closure, but the beginning of an awakening process. I am still learning, still healing and will continue the process.
I am grateful that throughout this journey, I have gained new friends and another safe space. Thanks for the supports. 💖
Many thanks to Ms Najmi, Ms Hani and Dr Putri Afzan Maria for their guidance. 💗

Previously the course was done physically for 1 month, full day of every weekend. Adapting to current new norm, the course now is done virtually, and ours was conducted on Friday night and Saturday morning (2 to 3 hours each session), in duration of 4 months.
I find this is more flexible and also give the chance to those outside KL/Selangor to join. Couple or partners are advised to join in separate session.
If interested, you can click on this linktree to book your seat for the next session.
