Re-connecting and remembering tūpuna parenting ways that already existed in whānau

2025-10-13 20:56:02 UTC

Tamariki being respected enough to be themselves and be included in korero

2025-10-13 20:56:03 UTC

Gentle tane energy

2025-10-13 20:56:08 UTC

The way that whānau were thinking, behaving and doing - but not always having the words (tapu and mana) around what those aspects were - it was in behaviours and actions towards pēpi

2025-10-13 20:56:19 UTC

Many realisations of how we sometimes intuitively parent in this way

2025-10-13 20:56:36 UTC

Pēpi being listened to

2025-10-13 20:56:44 UTC

Learning to advocate for yourself and your pepi when bringing them into Te Ao Marama

2025-10-13 20:57:03 UTC

tūpuna parenting values stay with you ahakoa te aha

2025-10-13 20:57:24 UTC

Recognising that Tupuna parenting was already happening but whanau didn't have the kupu to describe it. It was natural and organic.

2025-10-13 20:57:31 UTC

wanting to do better for the next generation

2025-10-13 20:57:40 UTC

Hearing traditional practices being bought into the birth and upbringing of pepi and tamariki

2025-10-13 20:57:48 UTC

our different ages and stages= different versions of tūpuna parenting

2025-10-13 20:58:01 UTC

Openess from Papa/Matua/Koro to learn and at times share about their experiences of Tupuna Parenting

2025-10-13 20:58:08 UTC

People bring their own profound experiences of being parented to the discussion which can lead the kōrero unexpected ways

2025-10-13 20:58:40 UTC

The similarities between the accounts was that all had a innate understanding of tupuna parenting even if they didnt have the words to name the concepts

2025-10-13 20:58:59 UTC

Chosing people to korero with that are disconnected from te ao Maaori, and have mamae around parenting and being Maaori takes courage

2025-10-13 20:59:09 UTC

knowing that we are moving in wairua to reclaim what our Tupuna left for us within our whakapapa and it is beautiful to learn and see we are on the right track

Village upbringings - grandparents, aunties, uncles all big influences in upbringing

2025-10-13 20:59:22 UTC

2025-10-13 20:59:38 UTC

living breathing practices we pass down that have been passed down to us. The way we love, nurture and raise our tamariki with the dignity and respect our Tūpuna intended.

2025-10-13 20:59:52 UTC

acknowledging eachothers Tapu & Mana can carry them through the hardest times

2025-10-13 21:00:00 UTC

trust in community to nurture pēpi

2025-10-13 21:00:20 UTC

Opened up opportunities for connection and understanding

2025-10-13 21:00:35 UTC

There has been a cultural shift in NZ over recent years which makes people more receptive to bringing in kaupapa maori models of parenting

2025-10-13 21:00:59 UTC

Freedom to explore and learn alongside eachother, fun, collective, kaupapa driven i.e, hunt & gather

2025-10-13 21:01:09 UTC

Tamariki participation was valued

2025-10-13 21:01:12 UTC

learn by doing
