Navigating Change when it Hurts

Raising Mums

Sometimes we get in a rut in our homeschools and do not make the changes that are necessary for our children to succeed. It takes courage to make big changes in your homeschool - and generally when you have a nagging feeling that something isn’t right it’s time to make a change. In our Homeschool podcast, you'll learn how to navigate change in your home by placing yourself at the helm of your homeschool, whilst also trusting in Allah and your instincts.

In Episode 79 of the Raising Mums podcast, I share how we can manage to navigate change in our homeschool and positively move through transitional phases. This Homeschool Podcast episode discusses: Embrace the emotions you and your children feel during these periods of transition. Do not feel shame or guilt for a feeling. According to the author William Bridges, there are three stages to managing a transition: 1. Letting go, 2. Uncertainty 3. Acceptance Change is a time when we "remember". Imam Al-Hadad says that remembrance is, "the pillar of the Path, the key to realization, the weapon of the seekers, and the unfolding of sainthood." - The Book of Assistance. Trust that whilst you may not understand it, or want it, Allah has a plan. Don't hold your plans too tightly. This is not the end, but a new beginning. On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Allah the Almighty said: I am as My servant thinks I am" (Hadith Qudsi 15) Related by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah).
