conscious parenting and unschooling course

find a unique approach for your family

What is Conscious Parenting? Is it Right for My Family?

We define conscious parenting as relating to children with respect, understanding and trust. 

It requires a willingness to do inner work to unlearn old patterns and beliefs. 

There is a commitment not to use punishments or parent-imposed rules or limits.

What is Unschooling? Is it Right for My Family?

We define unschooling as interest-led learning or self-directed learning.

The role of the parenting is to provide support, guidance, opportunities and resources.

 

Interested in a blend of Unschooling and Conscious Parenting?

Moving towards your ideal learning and parenting approach

 
Are you interested in unschooling but unsure about how to proceed, or already doing it and finding it rather challenging? If you want to feel confident that you can handle the challenges, support your children’s learning and really enjoy your family’s unschooling journey……..then this course is for you.
 
Many well-intentioned parents who love the idea of unschooling still get caught up in conflict with their children over learning or play activities. They end up stressed, or yelling and nagging even though they don’t want to be like that at all. The struggle exhausts everyone and dampens the love of learning and the joy in family life.
The beliefs that we learned in childhood and during our own education will unconsciously control our words and actions. They generate fear, self-doubt and the urge to try and control our children. Unschooling is an invitation to unlearn the school mindset and let your children direct their own education.
