Parenting

As parents, we know that not every day is a great day for either ourselves or our children. That is the case with homeschooling, too, when our day-to-day lives with our children don’t turn out to be the happily ever after story we thought they would be. Sometimes our kids are unhappy.

Do you dread the thought of homeschooling? Do you feel like you lack the patience it takes to plan lessons, activities, educational trips, and social gatherings for your children? How would you even know your children are progressing?

Are you thinking of joining a homeschool cooperative but aren’t sure if it’s really what you need? A homeschool cooperative (co-op, for short) is a group of families who choose to homeschool their children together.

It is important to our faith that we surround ourselves and our families with good company. As adults, we naturally gravitate toward people with whom we have things in common and with whom we can comfortably be ourselves.

It is no secret that Islamophobia is rampant throughout the world in this day and age. Muslims and especially children suffer from bullying and alienation. According to recent studies, Muslim students in public schools face bullying at twice the rate of their non-Muslim peers.

By a wide variety of measures, instances of Islamophobia are on the rise across the globe. Negative impacts from this discriminatory practice have been documented by the United Nations, the European Union, and various nongovernmental organizations worldwide.
