Raising sons with and without Te reo me ona tikanga
Abstract
This is our personal journey being raised without Te Reo me ona tikanga, and a comparison of our whanau raised in Te Reo me ona tikanga at home on our whenua.
In early 2000s I was given a second chance, to raise my three youngest children in Te Reo me ona tikanga, with a partner who had strong connection to Te Reo and his traditional lands.
We share the impacts that have and have not contributed to building resilience and identity for our whanau.
We share the steps we are taking towards Whanau Wellbeing.
