Learn From Home is a program of YGoal. The aim of the program is to support parents, guardians, and those who take on a “parental” role on how learning can be facilitated efficiently at home especially in the modification of the delivery of education in this time of unprecedented change.
Our guest for this episode is Ms. Rhodora Espiritu Valdez. She is a professional licensed librarian, working mom and solo parent to Luigi. Luigi is 10 years old and he has autism. In this interview, Mommy Dang shares with us her parenting adventures in the time of the pandemic. How did Mommy Dang manage the many responsibilities on her plate? How is she teaching Luigi at home? What discoveries has she made about herself in the process?
Let’s listen to Mommy Dang!
That was an insightful and inspiring interview with many takeaways.
It is important to acknowledge the feelings and emotions of our children.
Validating and affirming accomplishments big and small builds the confidence of the child.
A recognition of the child’s love language can lead to trust.
Our trust for each other will always keep the lines of communication open.
Remember to COACH
Commitment - stay committed to the role and responsibility of being a parent
Open Mindedness - bear in mind that we can learn from our children too and that the possibilities of learning together is endless
Always be there - presence matters a lot. This can be shown through guidance and mentoring
Care and support your children in their chosen endeavors
Have a lot of patience!
And now we end this season of Learn from Home. We hope to see you in the Parents’ Hour on December 19, 2020!
