90-Minute School Day

Ep. 55 - Brushstroke to Breakthrough with Cyrielle Tignard


Listen Later

Winter can be a hard season for homeschooling parents...

Especially if you are raising neurodivergent kids while navigating burnout, nervous system exhaustion, and the pressure to “reset.”

In this episode, we explore how watercolor can support nervous system regulation, deschooling, and gentle self-care in real life.

Meet artist and unschooling parent Cyrielle Tignard to talk about releasing perfectionism, creating with interruptions, and giving yourself permission to pause, play, and care for your own nervous system alongside your child’s.

In This Episode:
  • Watercolor as nervous system regulation and burnout recovery

  • Deschooling as a practice of process, not performance

  • Parenting and learning alongside neurodivergent children

  • Letting go of perfection and trusting growth beneath the surface

  • Why creative self-care matters in homeschooling families
