Today I’m chatting with Helen Stuart of Rochdale in the UK. Helen lives with her husband and between them have six children. Although the older five children had challenges at school, it wasn’t until their 7-year-old daughter who is Autistic PDA was born, that they considered taking a different path. We talk about how essential it is for children to feel safe and regulated in order to engage freely with life, what learning looks like when we take a low-demand approach to life, and why co-regulation and modelling are so important. Connect with Helen on <a href=' https://www.instagram.com/a_step_into_the_unknown'>Instagram</a>You can find my blog, workshops and courses at: <a href='https://www.esther-jones.com'>www.esther-jones.com</a> Or, connect with me on Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/_esther.jones/'>@_esther.jones</a> Facebook:@theunschoolspace

#72 Unschooling and PDA—connection, patience and safety, with Helen Stuart, Rochdale, UK

Unschooling isn't just about education, it's a life choice! For most parents, embracing unschooling requires some serious unravelling of old paradigms around parenting, learning and childhood, and that can be both challenging and exhilarating.&nbsp; Join me, Esther Jones, a mindful parenting coach and unschooling mother-of-three, as I take a look at the many opportunities for reflection that naturally arise in an unschooling home. Each episode, I chat with other parents about their family’s&nbsp; experiences.&nbsp; From self-care, neurodiversity and mindfulness, to how to live consensually and trust our children, this podcast is here to help parents navigate the everyday challenges so they're free to create a healthy, nourishing and enriching space for themselves and their family.&nbsp; Thanks for listening! Join my mailing for regular offerings and updates at: www.esther-jones.com or get in touch with me at:&nbsp; contact@esther-jones.com. Instagram: @_esther.jones Facebook:@theunschoolspace
