How to Bridge the Gap with Your Child and Guide Them to College

Last updated on: May 23, 2014 at 9:08 am   By Guest Contributor

This month, we highlighted the vast world of education through our contributors and guest writers. Thank you to all those that participated in this important conversation.  If you would like to become a contributor on GrowMama, please email us at [email protected].  College- synonym: freedom. synonym: loss. Some children only see college as a source of ‘freedom‘: freedom from the 8-2:30 daily schedule of their lives, having to wear a uniform, or answering to a principal.

A Word from my Son

Last updated on: May 19, 2014 at 8:21 am   By Guest Contributor

 As I walked into the room filled with kids, “BOOM” went the RPG as the kid blew up his opponent’s head in “Call of Duty 2″ and screamed, “Hell yeah, that’s a streak of ten!” I was at someone’s house for dinner with my parents. It was just me- neither my brother or sister accompanied us this evening. We were one of the first guests to arrive and our host told me to go upstairs to the kids’ room where... Read more

Coming Up: May is Education Month on Grow Mama

Last updated on: May 1, 2014 at 10:03 am   By Admin GrowMama

ed·u·ca·tion: n. (ĕj′ə-kā′shən): the knowledge, skill, and understanding that you get from attending a school, college, or university.

And the Minutes Tick By

Last updated on: April 23, 2014 at 10:00 am   By Guest Contributor

I am waiting. I know the time will come. I just don’t know when. I try to get things done, and piddle around finding things to do. I prepare as best as I can think of, yet I feel it’s never enough. I know my life is going to change forever, yet in the back of my mind I feel calm. I finish some work, start some more, and keep on counting the days, wondering when. Always wondering. Who knew... Read more

Cupcakes for Two

Last updated on: April 7, 2014 at 9:16 am   By Admin GrowMama

I hated who I was when I became a mother for the first time. I was angry, low, stressed and I did not take care of myself mentally, spiritually or physically. I remember it being tough time for me and my marriage. I had become a negative person and pushed away a lot of family members. I fought with my husband daily. My daughter was born 2 months premature and I think I read too many books that made me... Read more

Recovering Lost Connections

Last updated on: March 28, 2014 at 1:50 pm   By Admin GrowMama

I recently returned from a wedding where, for the first time, I made some observations from the lens of a mother. The groom was busy enjoying time with his bride, as usual, while his mom gracefully stood aside. After some time, he left to go to the men’s party when his mother noticed he had forgotten to eat his meal. So she picked up his plate and ran after him, heals, ball gown, and all. It hit me. All too... Read more

GrowBaba Blast from the Past: My Mom Promised Me A Skyline

Last updated on: June 13, 2014 at 2:21 pm   By Admin GrowMama

Growbaba spotlights provide a space for Muslim fathers to share their voice, reflections, and insights with our community. Let’s admit it folks, there is nothing more quenching to the embattled soul than long awaited sweet revenge. Don’t worry, no blood or terror here –though there are definitely battle scars. You see, back when this 44 year-old father of three was in 6th grade, they used to ask me, “how can you just stand there?” and “why don’t you fight back?.” Day... Read more
