What is The Birthday Book? The Birthday Book is

What is The Birthday Book?

The Birthday Book is an annual publication that invites a diverse group of people to pen their thoughts around a central theme for the year. It was first launched in 2016, fuelled by a desire to ignite a conversation about things that matter to Singapore.

Both the senior and junior book projects are the flagship offering of The Birthday Collective, an NPO started with the desire to create platforms that encourage and facilitate conversations about the things that matter to us; constructive, creative and critical discussions about a myriad of issues that impact us all. Staffed entirely by volunteers, The Collective have several other platforms including a video competition with ITE and Polytechnics, a Singapore food related one that was chosen to be incorporated in the UNESCO bid , seminars, workshops and even a critical thinking resource.

What are the editors of the Children’s Edition this year looking for?

“This year’s prompt is— 20/20: Seeing Clearly. We are interested in having our young friends share a pertinent life story with us, through which lessons can be learnt, issues that surface can be discussed. We are hoping that each child contributor is able to create their own response by themselves (with minimal or no parental involvement) so we do encourage parents to give the child as much independent space as possible.”

Submission of manuscripts does not guarantee a final place in the book. You may email your child’s contribution to lizzywu@gmail.com by this Sat, August 15, 2020 latest.

Hello, we wanted to share a really exciting piece

Hello, we wanted to share a really exciting piece of news that happened just today!

Homeschool alumni and media producer John Teoh received a message from Jarrod Watts (Specialist Digital Production Editor from the South China Morning Post) that the Socially Awkward Podcast was reviewed over the weekend for the print version of the South China Morning Post.

Let's cheer our homeschool alumni on! Go support them @the.sociallyawkwardpodcast

Online Worldschoolmates Programme ==== Homeschoo

Online Worldschoolmates Programme
====

Homeschooling mum Ira Sophia is starting an online Worldschoolmates Programme.

“Some Indonesian homeschooling teens home-stayed with a few homeschooling families here at the end of 2019. It was an amazing experience for all the families involved. For our programme, we would look at projects/research themes that would promote self-directed learning. The ideas will come from the kids. Topics can be in science, technology, engineering, art, math, social, cultural, economy, politics or anything else they think of. We will invite professionals occasionally to share their expertise.”

The Online Worldschoolmates Programme is looking for :
- 10 Indonesian homeschoolers aged 8-11
- 10 Indonesian homeschoolers aged 11 onwards
- 10 Singapore-based homeschoolers aged 8-11
- 10 Singapore-based homeschoolers aged 11 onwards

Parents will need to help with coaching and mentoring. If you’re interested, please contact ira.sophia@gmail.com

Sometime back, our talented homegrown artist, Pang

Sometime back, our talented homegrown artist, Pang, was commissioned by National Arts Council (NAC) for a submission of an artwork for the Streets of Hope Exhibition. The exhibition serves to encourage and lift the spirits as we stand united during this pandemic.

Pang contacted Dawn, founder of Homeschool Singapore, for submissions of artwork from our homeschooling children.

In Pang’s words:

“My response to Streets of Hope has been driven by the conviction that we should look at the current situation through the eyes of children and youth- the future of our nation. There has been a recent focus on how adults are managing and containing COVID-19, perhaps is it time for us adults to find hope through children’s drawings and to get what is possibly the best form of community healing.

Hope For the Future

Faith in our Healthcare Heroes

Love for our Community

The artworks below contain messages from young voices of Singapore that are beyond words.

They are the responses of Isabel Joy Koh, 7, Joshua Hoy, 10 and Faith Ang, 17. They do have a lot to say, don’t they?”

Update! In the pipelines is a making behind the Homeschool Convention. The Homeschool Convention is now 4 years old. We started in 2017 and have been through amazing ups, downs and turn around.

The documentary of the Homeschool Convention is by homeschool graduate John Teoh, who is also the producer of The Socially Awkward Podcast @the.sociallyawkwardpodcast

We are looking for past and present footage and photos of the convention. If you’ve got a stash of memories, as attendee, speaker, team or public, would you email the stuff to documentary@homeschoolsingapore.sg by 21 Jun, Sunday.
Thank you!

"When women become mothers, what changes within us

"When women become mothers, what changes within us? How do we remain true to ourselves, while giving our time, energy and love to our children?"
.
Tammy Hitchens @homehawker is a homeschooling mum with 14 kids, aged between four months and 29 years. On the outside, Tammy seems to have it all: a large, happy family with her loving husband Timothy, and a beautiful rental landed home in Singapore.
.
But Tammy has also struggled through motherhood at times, overcoming poverty, illness, exhaustion, and coping with her children’s special needs.
.
In the interview with Dayre, Tammy shares how she found peace within herself — even after 14 kids — and why she feels being a mum was her destiny all along.

Full story at Dayre [link in bios] -- Blessed Mother's Day from all of us at Homeschool Singapore ❤️

Hi all! It’s been 2 weeks since #hsdsg2020 and i

Hi all! It’s been 2 weeks since #hsdsg2020 and it’s been a pleasure speaking to you. We can’t wait for next year’s event, what about you?! Behind #hsdsg2020 are two very committed organisers; Tsui Ling Hoy and Magdalene Hoy. The mother-daughter duo worked with each and every speaker, equipping them with the needed tools for the event. We are especially thankful for how they adapted and helped bring the event onto an online platform in light of the sudden rise in local Covid-19 cases. Thank you so much!

While this is goodbye, we cherish this experience and hope to see you around next year! Signing out, and till next time :) #hsdsg2020 #homeschoolconvention #homeschoolsg #homeschooling #homeschoolactivities #homeschoolsingapore #singapore #singaporeyouth #sgcircuitbreaker #hbl #hsdsg2021

The Circuit Breaker extension cum May school holid

The Circuit Breaker extension cum May school holidays is a first in SG. For the first time, parents who are not in essential services will be working from home, caregiving, and raising their children without schooling. How will it look like?
.
This is a series about that, how parents connect with their children at home during this time, and why parenting the heart - of both adult and child - is important work. Featuring 96 anonymous writers sharing poignantly about their parenting journey, PARENTING THE HEART is chicken soup for the haggard mum.
.
Raising children is not a bed of roses. It is a garden of blooms, a different lesson for every season. It is a cultivation of years of sweat and toil, for a reward that money cannot buy. Let’s remember the best things in life this May.

DADs@HOME: THANK YOU!

To all the dads who have been working from home, thank you for trying your best to ensure things work out at home. While there are moments of frustrations, overwhelm, or even loss of personal space, we want to thank you for hanging in there with your family.
.
As a wrap up to our DADs@HOME series, we will like to dedicate the following poem that is written by our talented homeschool mum, Madeline @MadaboutGod to you:

Dear DADs@HOME,

It’s not often that

We see so much of dads;

But at such a time as this,

It’s just where we’re at!
.

Tho’ you can’t bring us

To our favourite mall;

But you’re right here for us

When we urgently call!
.

Tho’ you can’t play and bask

With us under the sun;

Still you’d make time to add

Some laughter and fun!
.

It’s not easy for you

To juggle work and home;

But you try your best when

With us or working alone.
.

So now we just wanna say

That we appreciate you;

For the big and little

Thoughtful things you do!

Luv,

Your KIDs@HOME (btw, Mommy helped in writing the poem too!;)) #SGUnited #StayHome #WorkFromHome #DadsAtHome

DADs @ HOME: When WFH Becomes WATT Time seems to

DADs@HOME: Mindset and Communication I had opport

DADs@HOME: Mindset and Communication

I had opportunities to work from home (WFH), so I find myself slightly more prepared for this period. There was a lot of trial and error initially. With WFH, I observed I have been able to get most of my work done during the boys’ naps and bedtime.
READ: Kids are most active when they wake up in the morning.

I spend time with them in the morning and explain when it is my turn to work. This doesn’t imply that work isn’t important, but by giving the kids my attention first, they are then able to play by themselves (or bother each other). After I fill their love tanks, they are less likely to disturb me.

My kids love reading and story time, so without fail, there will be at least one pocket of time when I read to them, or tell them a story, or they would do their own silent reading.

Watching them doing activities, crafts, or playing games amongst themselves are happy and precious moments that I take in silently.

Giving my family my time when they need me most is better than making them wait and then receive my leftover. I try to be patient and calm with my wife and children though it’s easier said than done, but I try my best to preserve the harmony at home so I can work peacefully.

With the new normal, I have to adjust my own mindset, and communication with my spouse.
There are just so many challenges that left me overwhelmed, as a parent and an adult. If I need help, I will talk about it with my wife, or I reach out to friends.

Partnering with my wife in parenting and home-making is vital - take turns to mind the kids and give each other some alone time. We each have equal stakes to help out as we live together as a family.

Family time for me is to give every family member my attention when requested of me. Sometimes I get impatient and fail to acknowledge them. However, I realised that just a few seconds or a couple of minutes gives them the security that I value each of them and that I love them enough to stop whatever I’m doing and to pay attention to them. - Darren, dad to 3 fearless boys and husband to a wife who chooses to see the fun in everything

DADs@HOME: I AM IMPORTANT I’m the storyteller a

DADs@HOME: I AM IMPORTANT

I’m the storyteller and "bed-putter". My kids love stories, and they love my stories. Recently we discovered an app which features a spinning wheel, and we place our favourite fairy tales on it. We spin once each and I’ll do a fairy tale mash-up. They love it!

I’m the laundry elf, dishwasher and dryer. My spouse, WL, has eczema on her fingers and is hydrophobic. During my time at home, I do most of the dishes, so that she gets more rest after all the cooking and a long day of looking after the kids. She appreciates this very much!

I’m the food connoisseur and support pillow. WL is a great cook, but sometimes it’s not appreciated by the kids. Words which are not used to describe food sometimes get thrown around by them. I’m glad I’m there to remind her how good a cook she is and also to help the kids remember that. I’m the support pillow who walks out of my work room each time WL or any of the children need a boo-boo hug and kiss.

I’m the “wow” emoticon and “blushing” emoticon. I’m just 1 week into staying home and I’m usually away from the kids most of the time due to work. I’m amazed at how much WL does and sometimes has to put up with everyday at home with the 2 girls. Wow. Wow. Wow. And I thought my job was tough. I won’t last a week doing her job. - YC, dad to 2 lovely girls and husband to an amazing wife.

Fathers play such an important role. In this chall

Fathers play such an important role. In this challenging season, daddies find themselves in the unconventional situation of having to juggle multiple roles of being a husband, father and employer or boss all in the same time and space. While this allows for more opportunities for family connectedness, it presents its share of frustration as well.

Now that you are home all the time, the boundaries of work, family and home get blurred. Your children want you to play with them. Your work demands your attention. Your spouse hopes you can help out with housework.

You are feeling stretched and wish that you have a man cave to retreat into for a while.

Dads at home, we hear you.

Starting tomorrow, three homeschool dads will share their stories with you. We hope that these will encourage and support you as you balance work and family at home.

#hsdsg2020 is tomorrow! And wrapping up our keynot

#hsdsg2020 is tomorrow! And wrapping up our keynote speaker features is one final introduction. Say hello to Ethan Wong! He is our 7th and final #hsdsg2020 speaker 🌟

Ethan was homeschooled for 12 years from age 7 to 19. While he loves learning about anything related to history, his true passion is collapse studies. In his free time, he can be found playing Football, taking walks alone at 2am, and scrolling aimlessly through Netflix... all while listening to Fall Out Boys.

Check out our insta story to play GoodieFoodie and Two Truths with Ethan! 🙈🙉 #hsdsg2020 #homeschooling #singapore #hbl #homeschoolsingapore #homeschoolconvention

Guess what’s day after tomorrow?! Friday.... No

Guess what’s day after tomorrow?! Friday.... No it’s not only Friday, it’s High School Day! Introducing Titus Ho, our 6th #hsdsg2020 speaker 🌟

Titus is in his 2nd year of Polytechnic. But before entering the world of polytechnic, he already had the “best of both worlds” for he has been both public-schooled and home-schooled. His interests centres around sports, music, and books. Having encountered different challenges when switching between the types of school setting, he believes that no challenge is hard to overcome if one has a positive outlook in life. When he is not occupied by school, work, or church commitments, he would most probably be at the soccer court scoring goals, or cartwheeling in the dojo.

Check out our insta story to play GoodieFoodie and Two Truths with Titus! 🙈🙉 #hsdsg2020 #homeschooling #singapore #singaporeyouth #hbl #homeschoolsingapore #homeschoolconvention #instastory
