Whatever we do is facilitation. Even not doing anything is facilitation. In some ways we cannot not facilitate. We may not like what we did or we may not like the result we got – but anyhow we are always facilitating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s assume our \/ a child is physically hurt and crying:
We may rush to give remedy to assuage the pain. Or we may gently give emotional support. Or we go over and ask if the child needs anything from us. Or we may just wait where we are and observe how the child is dealing with this physical hurt. Or I am sure you may come up with multiple more options, some even combinations of above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any which way, all the above are ways of facilitation. Neither is right or wrong or good or bad. They are merely different.
If we keep thinking which is the best then we have missed the whole point of learning.
If we think which one flower is best then we have missed the idea of a garden. If we think which one dress is best then we have missed the idea of fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s the same with facilitation or parenting. The moment we think of it as not one best poetry, rather as the whole library of the written words, instead of worrying, we start enjoying the bounty of dances we can swing with our children. Then there are no missteps, rather every step is merely another song ringing, just as the sky is blessed with clouds of all shapes and sizes floating around in their wooly abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At CoVersity, parents become guides to the entire cohort. Being guides doesn’t mean they have to be experts in any domain. Their primary role is to facilitate the cohort’s journey by nudging them out of their comfort zone, showing them different perspective and supporting them in various ways. They also get support from other families who are on a similar journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
