For children to have success, it’s more than just academics. It takes social- emotional intelligence.

Our children need to develop Social Emotional Learning during their preschool years.

It is especially crucial for our children’s transition to Primary 1.

In this episode with Ms Azlinah Arif
(Deputy Director Education of MENDAKI), and
Ms Zaiton Mohd Ali (Head of Iyad Perdaus Child Development), we discussed about Social Emotional Learning.

Do we really send our children to preschool simply for their academics? Or is it more for the skills and techniques which our children can pick up?

In this episode, the Love Guru talks about sex therapy and when intervention is needed.

First time moms, it’s never easy. We have all been there before.

How are you handling the trials and tribulations?
Are you even ready to be a mom?
What kind of mom are you?
Does being a mom make you a totally new person?

And when was the last time you talked to the real you?

For moms with hyper independence trauma, it’s especially difficult for them to ask for help. Why so?

Tune in to this very special episode of Feed Your Soul Friday with the beautiful Ustazah Unaisah Adam.

Do you send your child to preschool?

When should parents send their children to preschool?

What are some ways parents can consider helping pre-schoolers equip themselves in a new environment?

What are some resources or programmes for parents to help in their children’s school readiness?

In this episode, we invited Ms Azlinah Arif, Deputy Director Education of MENDAKI, and Ms Zaiton Mohd Ali, Head of Iyad Perdaus Child Development to share more about school readiness and its importance.

Is it okay to pamper our children occasionally?

How about over pampering?
What will it lead to?
Why are overly pampered children often spoilt too?

How can we help them and care for them without disabling them?

How can we love them enough such that they will grow up to be responsible and thoughtful adults?

Children who are overly pampered grow up to live in a different world than all other people. Agree?

Listen to this episode of Mommy Talks With Diah.

Parents of toddlers are constantly challenged, mentally drained and extremely exhausted.
.
.
.
Not much changes when you’re raising a teenager.🥴

New episode of Tips-y Treats with Nura J “ParenTEENing” just dropped!

Raise our daughters with Ummahatul Mukminin as our role models.

To quote Ustazah Amalina,

“Personally, I feel that we look up to a lot of Western/male figures & perhaps we might have overlooked strong Muslim female figures that can also be role models to us/our daughters. When we talk about success or female empowerment, girls my age would wonder what Islam says about it. And more often than not, there is very little awareness of how Muslim women were at the forefront of scholarship and excellence back then. I personally hope we will get to see more of those in this and future generation; that’s one of the key messages I aim to put through in this episode.”

What impact can adult or explicit content have on young children?

How soon to introduce to them? Even if parents don’t, children will discover adult content online unintentionally, and they will likely go seeking it out at some point too.

In this episode, we will share our own experiences, and how we deal with our children being exposed to explicit content. It’s not easy, and we are here to tell you that we too are struggling with the same problem!

WARNING
THIS EPISODE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE WHO ARE PREGNANT.

Mommies, have you ever encountered anything supernatural especially while you were pregnant?
It’s scary to think of it and even scarier at the thought of anything that may befall on our unborn children. Thus we’re always advised to guard ourselves with the powerful verses of the Al-Quran.

Take a listen to this episode on how a brave pregnant woman was saved in time by her husband.

In this world of social media, we often receive hate comments from anonymous users. Or what happens when we are slandered? What’s next?

Ustaz Md. Khaider Rohani shared more about Divine Love and how seeing through the lens of love would actually make this world a better place.

Love Conquers All.
Love overcomes hate.

Parents are often so ambitious when it comes to their children’s education. “Must study until you enter university!” “Must become a doctor when you grow up!”

But how well prepared are parents for their children’s education? For their future?

Dear parents, how are your savings like before and after having children?

What type of savings plan did you take up for your children’s education?

And what is this Crypto Hype all about?

In this episode, we invited founder of MFA Group Firdaus Anuar and his colleague Fathul Haziq to discuss more about how Crypto Hype can be used to fund our children’s education.

All that and more!

Explicit content ahead.
Parental guidance advised.

Planning to have sex on a special occasion like birthdays and anniversaries might seem cliche, but is one of the best kinds of sex to indulge in.

Denise doesn’t just say this of her own accord, of course. Sex therapist Kristie Overstreet says, "In longtime relationships, things can get monotonous, and having sex around special occasions spices things up, and there can be a really big payoff."

So what should be done to keep things exciting?

Many parents are guilty of this - including sarcasm in their everyday communication with their children.

In this week’s episode of Feed Your Soul Friday Ustaz Ahmad Faritz shared about how sarcastic language is actually a serious mental issue for parents.

How can we educate our children with firmness without poisoning their minds or belittling them?

If we want to mould our children and make them a good addition to the future generation, language matters. And we need to start them from young.

Gentleness of a sentence, how can we do it as parents?

How is it like to be an orthopedic? What is it like to be the daughter of an ex-minister?

In this episode, we invited Dr Suraya Zainul Abidin as our special guest. We thought she was the perfect person for us to have a discussion about self care with. How does Dr Suraya stay fit and fabulous despite her job scope and despite being a supermom to four beautiful children?

Bone care - why is it important? How can women better take care of their health? What supplements did Dr Suraya recommend?

All these and more!
Have a listen!

All kids lie. Or rather, everyone lies.
Yes or no?

But as parents, we will definitely get overly concerned when we catch our kids lying.

Shakeel too lies occasionally. He lies to get himself out of a situation.

Listen to this episode of Mommy Talks as Shakeel revealed more about his stomachache lies.

Also, how can we address lying in kids?

Talking about lying may be a long conversation, but it’s important to give our kids the message that honesty is important.

Have a listen to this very light hearted episode with Diah and her son , Shakeel.

One thing for sure, we sure appreciate Shakeel’s honesty when he said Diah was talking too much!

“The very fact that you worry about being a good mom means you already are one.”

In this episode of Feed Your Soul Friday, Ustazah Shameem Sultanah shared her own experiences as a Mom to her 4 children, and the many times she experienced mom guilt.

What happened in the lift? What exactly did one elderly man say to her that made her feel like she was not a good enough mom?

Ustazah Shameem Sultanah also gave many examples of how us mommies are always comparing ourselves with other mommies. Motherhood is not a competition, isn’t it?

There are days when we cannot do everything, and that’s okay. Or is it not?

This episode is for all of you mommies out who are constantly fearing you are never good enough.
