Episode Synopsis

In this thoughtful episode of Those Avoided Topics, host Ibtisam Habib sits down with Zain from Playroom to explore a question many parents wrestle with: When is the right time to take children to school?Together, they unpack their own experiences of being taken to school at different ages, and the societal pressure parents face to hurry the process. From cultural expectations to modern parenting trends, the conversation challenges the idea that “earlier is always better.”Instead, Ibtisam and Zain advocate for a slower, more mindful approach — one that values every stage of a child’s growth outside the classroom as much as inside it. Because childhood isn’t a race, and each moment of growth deserves its space.If you’re a parent, guardian, or just curious about how we shape the next generation, this episode will give you perspective, reassurance, and permission to let kids simply be kids.
