It all starts with where we are and the profound question of "How do we know what we know?"

We'll dabble with societal issues, the education system, human needs and what that means to each of us individually.

We'll do a little magic, see new perspectives and even identify our inner trickster.

And we'll ask ourselves some important questions, define some key terms (like success & happiness), and do a family values exercise.

Here we'll dive into the world of Natural Learning Relationships. This means attuning to our child's needs based on their age or stage.

We'll go into each developmental stage and give practical application to nourish and support at those stages. 

We'll play our way through with writing prompts and activities for the whole family.

Our ever changing world is requiring new skills from us.

What do we need to thrive in the future, what do those skills look like and how do we develop these in our homes and learning environments?

We'll explore learning styles, future jobs and determine what we actually want our children to learn. (and us too!)

While we'll see practical application throughout the whole journey, this week will focus in on options, different learning configurations, case studies, oooh and a risk assessment, and more activities to guide your family.

We'll explore the objections to some alternative choices, determine what learning really is, find ample growth opportunities at home, and create a family vision.

Learning about parenting is important even when the child is still in utero.

BUT, the exercises and most family activities are for children that are already walking and talking and will span right through the teenager years.

It's both. 

And also, I think parenting and learning are all one in the same! 

We'll cover 6 key parenting principles that will be eternally useful. (And quite handy in other relationships as well.)

We'll also dive into philosophies of learning, different learning environments and how to personalize learning. So, yes, homeschooling included.

At the beginning of each section, you’ll receive the content for the following 2 weeks. Each session consists of a bite sized amount of information; could be an article, a video or an activity that you can read or do at any time that suits you and works with your schedule. 

Most days, you will need about 20-30 mins to read through the material. The time needed for individual or family activities vary depending on the size of the family and ages of the children. On average, activities could take 30-60mins. 

The commitment comes, not necessarily in doing more, but rather noticing & integrating.  So less doing and more being. 

During the 8 Week Intensive, there will be bi-monthly group session to discuss, review and share with each other. Following the 8 weeks, we'll have 2 more followup group sessions and a personalized 90min '1 on 1' session to reflect the journey together.

No problem. We know how busy you are so we've made it as easy and as accessible as possible.

You will receive the content at the beginning of the week so you can arrange how it works best with your schedule.

Also, you can access the content on desktop or on your phone, so it can also be in your pocket wherever you are!

Yes, most definitely. You'll be more in tune with your child and their needs as well as your own. You will also have gained the self-trust needed to guide with intentionality & intuition.

But this is NOT for you if you are looking for a specific curriculum. Here, we are looking to personalize not standardize.

Most definitely.

While we will talk specifically about unschooling and unlearning, you'll also get a great deal of understanding of how to attune and support as your children furthers their exploration.

Yes yes and yes.

Self direction is life really. Learning to self direct and connect is part of all aspects of life.

Even if your child is in traditional schooling, there is a wide spectrum of ways to promote self direction at home which we will cover along with great ways to support as a parent.

There will be, however time spent on other learning options and alternatives.

Yes and no.

Will you see some of the underlying issues behind behavioural problems? yes.

But we aren't talking about bandaide solutions here. We are talking about foundational, root shifts in family dynamics.

For example, if you go to the doctor with a headache, she may give you an aspirin. But here we'll explore what caused the headache in the first place.
