Feeling lonely in a crowd

17th Jan 2025

(Mom) Do you ever have this feeling: there are so many friends around you but you feel alone. I really want another Isaac as a friend. Actually, some kids feel lonely and they just take a bug as a friend. I sometimes want just a bug as a friend. Once I was so lonely in the forest school and I just took a bug to play with.

Five things I love the most

8th October 2025

My home is important because I feel safe

Note: Newton is our cat; and we haven’t had Tacos for ages – so Isaac must have seen it from a friend 🙂

When I am shy and afraid

3rd August 2025

When I am shy and when I am afraid, my body feels small


Poem: We all fall

22nd March 2025

Daffodil fell on the floor
Like I fell on the floor
Like the stick which fell on the floor
And like the crocus which fell on the floor
And then like the parsley and rock which fell on the floor
And then the tree which broke his arm
And then the roof tile fell down

Isaac’s (my 6 year-old son) poem straight after he fell from a monkey bar and hurt himself 😀

  • Ben 12 yaşındayken (2000) ailecek İngiltere'ye taşındık ve ingilizcem neredeyse sıfırdı. Bunu duyan (Karen Holman adında) Sınıf Öğretmenim, kendimi evimde hissedeyim diye tüm arkadaşlarıma Türkçe cümleler dağıtmış. Sınıfa girer-girmez arkadaşlarımın hepsi bana "Hoşgeldin" dediler
