We have been having fun with this app this morning , where you can visit many sites and explore in VR mode. A fantastic resource for teaching , as you can explore and recall the stories of the prophets as.
There are non religious sites included as well which we are yet to explore but I imagine they will prove useful for teaching too insha Allah
I'm not aware of an apple version if anyone does find one please forward to me. JazakAllahkhayr

Homeschooling for Beginners
1• You don't need to know how to do things straight away.
In fact, it is fairly compulsory not to know! There may be the odd homeschool super mom amongst us, but the rest of us mostly make it up as we go along.
2• Don't decide on your homeschool methods straight away - take some time to try things out and investigate your options.
Your child is your best guide as to what to do next. What do they love to do? What aspirations do they have? What would they love to spend hours doing? Asking your children what they want to know is the best way to figure out how to homeschool.
3• Don't rush out and spend a lot of money. It is tempting to think that buying the 'right curriculum' or resource will make it all come together. But take the time to see what free homeschooling resources are available first - you will be amazed. And hopefully inspired.
4• Don't let anyone tell you how to homeschool. There is no 'right way. There are as many ways to do this as there are homeschooled children. Really - you do know best.
Find your comfort level. Are there things you feel you MUST cover with your child? Which subjects are you worried about? For homeschooling to feel good you need to find a balance between what YOU need from it - and what your child needs.
5• Take time to de-school. Teaching your children isn't about replicating school in your home. If you are full of 'schooly' ideas about what an education is then you need some time off. Immerse yourself in new ideas about education - you may reject them all later, but at least you will be better informed. Try a little encouragement to get you started.
6• Don't go overboard - you will get burnout. Take things slowly - it isn't a race. Children learn things over a period of time - you don't have to teach them everything TODAY. If you feel panicky about how much they don't know then remember - they will be learning their whole life long. They can always fill in any small gaps you may have left later.
7• Write it all down. Why do you want to homeschool? What would you like it to look like? What are you worried about? What would make it a success for you? It takes the stress out of things to journal them - and it is helpful to go back and re-read things during the tough times.
Decide if you need a schedule and begin to plan how you are going to use your time. It is ok to deviate from a normal school-day - make use of the flexibility to work out a plan that suits your family.
Think of it as educating yourself as much as educating your child. You can't know everything so it is ok to learn alongside each other. And remember - you are a role model. If your children see you learning something that interests you, and enjoying it, then you are sending them a very strong message.
8• Enjoy it. It is as simple as that. A happy child cannot help but learn from their environment.

From Hosai Mojaddidi
Dear Parents,
Please remember for yourselves and teach your children that....
1. Saying "Thank you" is a reflection of how grateful one is to God, and is NOT an act of charity for another person.
2. Saying "I'm sorry" is a reflection of how remorseful one is before God, and NOT to be said out of obligation or fear of consequence with another.
3. Saying "I don't know" is a reflection of how humble one is before God, and NOT an admission of ignorance before others.
4. Saying "I'm scared" is a reflection of one's reliance on God, and NOT a statement of defeat or fear of another person or thing.
5. Saying "I'm sad" is a reflection of one's dependency on God, and NOT a statement of pitifulness or over sensitivity.
6. Saying "I can't" is a reflection of one's brokenness before God, and NOT a testament of weakness or lack of will.
7. Saying "Please" is a reflection of one's gentleness before God, and NOT a sign of desperation or servitude to others.
8. Saying "I love you" is a reflection of one's receiving love from God, for you cannot give what you have not received. Thus, it is an admission of truth to be used only in truth, and never uttered for ulterior motives.
9. Saying "I hate you" is weaponizing one's words to inflict injury on another. It must be used judiciously and never without just cause for some injuries cannot be healed.
10. Saying "I hope" or "I wish" or "I dream" is a reflection of one's surrender to God, and NOT on one's dependence on another person or means. He is the ONLY One who can fulfill our hopes and wishes so we must be careful to never assign that role to anyone or anything else.
------------
In teaching our children etiquette and proper communication, we must remember to also FRAME things in the correct context.
When they hear these same words repeated every day by other people, in person, literature, film, song, poems, etc., they are internalizing the voice, tone, and meanings of the one's who are speaking, and they learn to mimic the same.
So teach them these phrases in the CORRECT context, so that every time they utter them they learn to be intentional and to focus on the meanings that matter, not the ones that are widely understood or accepted.
This reframing helps them to take back control of how they use language instead of mindlessly throwing out words that have lost their meanings or are completely meaningless. It also helps them to not give away emotional control to others so easily.
This last point is something we all must be cognizant of. Our hearts are precious and we have to guard them like a fortress is guarded from predators and invaders from every direction. This includes using language responsibly so that we never inflict wounds on others and open ourselves to be wounded in return.
Words have power and when we use them correctly and with the best of intentions then we not only gain the pleasure of God, but we also protect ourselves by rejecting words that are used to harm us, recognizing that they are impotent, like empty bullets, because the one using them never learned how to use them correctly.
May Allah ﷻ make us more emotionally intelligent and effective communicators. Amin.

How to nurture manners in your child?
1. Greet your child with hugs, salams and kisses.
2. Be good to your neighbors and never speak ill of others. Your child listens, absorbs and emulates.
3. Speak & visit regularly your parents and take your child with you to visit.
The more they see this, the more they will take care of you when older.
4. Tell bedtime stories. Well told stories are always inspiring.
5. Read a short hadith a day. It strengths bonds and builds lasting memories.
6. Wear presentable cloths even if at home.
The child needs to know that being clean & tidy is not only when going out.
7. Don’t criticize or judge every word or action your child says or does.
8. Ask your child’s permission before entering their room. Don't just knock and enter.
They will learn to do the same when wanting to enter your room.
9. Apologize if you make a mistake. This teaches the child to be modest.
10. Don't be sarcastic or make fun of your child’s views or feelings. This hurts.
11. Be patient and consistent.
