For the longest time since Tee started school right up to this year, she had maintained that she only had one friend, her best friend and nobody else ever came close. Since the middle of last year, that best friend had moved on to International School although she still sees him on the weekends or at parties/play dates. She would play with other friends, new friends…….but she would never acknowledge them as friends. I was so worried that I went as far as to consult the child psychologist who recommended some exercises to do with her about friendship.
I had to draw a circle and ask her to write her best friend’s name in it. Then draw a bigger circle around it and ask her to write her 2nd tier best friends, then another circle around it and more friends who are less close to her and so on. This is an interesting exercise that even adults can do. And finally, you write the names of those you do not like OUTSIDE the largest circle.
So after 3 whole years, I am happy to announce that at this new school, Tee has come home happily telling me that now she has a lot of friends. More than eleven!! Then she named them one by one.You cannot imagine the joy in my heart when my obstinate girl comes home with this piece of news!
And out of all these eleven friends, both boys and girls, she has named this little boy down here as her best friend in school. They get along like wild fire, the blue flame and the orange flame, happily dancing together…….

And just like her ‘other’ best friend, I hope they remain best friends forever…..
**************************************************************************Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.


because he has Ben10 all over him…..that’s why 😉
Have you done a trusted network yet? Basically, it’s counted on one hand, and highlights trusted people your child can go to if there is a problem, any problem. For, instance you may say if you are not around, your child can go to a grandmother, aunt, godparent, a specific teacher (that’s not in her class), or neighbour (if you trust them). You can also include telephone numbers. It’s wise to include a specific teacher’s name and discuss this with that teacher. This allows the child to know they can speak with a particular person if they have a problem that need immediate resolution. Review this list occasionally. Cheers, Colin
