Ngā Whakaaturanga

Tekau mā toru tau te pakeke o Molly, ā, kei te ako ia ki te kōrero. He iti noa iho tana whakamahinga kōrero. Nā tēnei kua nui te riri me te whanoke i a ia anō nā te riri ki te kore kōrero.
Kua whakamātau mātou i te Pecs, te taputapu AAC, ā, inaianei ko te tuhi kupu hei huarahi kōrero. Kāore mātou i whakapono ki te pai o te tuhi kupu a Molly mai i te rā tuatahi. Kāore au i te mōhio mēnā i mōhio ia ki tana pīta i mua i tēnei rā tuatahi, ahakoa te nui o ngā kupu i roto i tōna mahunga. Ināianei kei te ako ia ki te tuhi pūrākau. Ko tēnei wiki tana wiki tuarua. He iti noa iho te kī he miharo mātou. Mā tēnei ka taea e tā mātou tamāhine te tīmata ki te whakaatu i tōna āhua me tōna hiahia. He mea whakamiharo te kite i tōna mohio, me te mōhio kei reira pea he huarahi mōna ki te kōrero, he mea whakamiharo tōna reo. He mea tino nui te mahi a Colleen ki a Molly, māua ko taku tāne. Nō nā tata nei i mahi tahi ia me tētahi o ngā kaiwhakaora hinengaro o Molly, ā, i whakatuwherahia ō rātou kanohi ki ngā pūkenga o Molly. Ngā mihi nui ki a koe,
e Karen Lynagh

He kaiako mātauranga motuhake tino pai a Colleen e tino kite ana i te pūmanawa o ia tamaiti e mahi tahi ana rāua. He pūkenga onge tōna ki te titiro ki tua atu i ngā wero me te mōhio ki ngā mea ka taea e te tamaiti te whakatutuki, kātahi ka ata ārahi engari me te maia ki taua wāhi. Ehara i te mea he atawhai anake tana huarahi engari he whai take - ka whāngaihia e ia te whanaketanga o ia tamaiti me te manawanui, te mārama, me te manaaki pono. Ko te mea e wehewehe ana i a Colleen ko tana wawata mō ngā tamariki kei raro i tana tiaki. He nui āna tumanakohanga, engari he mea pumau tonu i roto i tōna mōhiotanga hohonu, wheako, me te tohungatanga ngaio. Kāore ia e whakapono noa ki te ahunga whakamua - e mōhio ana ia me pēhea te whakatutuki, me te whakamahi i ngā rautaki me ngā tautoko tika hei āwhina i ia tamaiti kia angitu i roto i tā rātou ake huarahi. He nui hoki te uara o te whanaungatanga ki ngā mātua, me te mōhio kei a rātou te mōhio pai rawa atu ki tā rātou tamaiti. Ka mahi tahi ia i roto i te hononga pono, te whakarongo, te kōrero tuwhera, me te hanga whakawhirinaki, he mea nui tēnei ki te tamaiti me tōna whānau. Ko Colleen te momo kaiako e tika ana mō ia tamaiti - he tangata e whakapono ana ki a rātou, e mārama ana ki a rātou, ā, he ngākau nui me te pūkenga ki te āwhina i a rātou kia angitu.
