  • 225. Navigating Homeschooling, Parenting, and Partnering When There is Pain or Illness

    Melisa and Erik Nielsen share their experience with navigating pain or illness while Waldorf homeschooling, parenting, and partnering. 

    - Together they share how they have navigated back pain to recovery from a stroke. 

    - The importance of community and asking for help. 

    - Reminder while you are forced to be in a space of slowing down and silence, fill yourself with inspiration to help the recovery. 

    - Encourage one another and ask what is helpful and what is not helpful. Saying "I know you have a lot of pain right now." might not be helping the healing process. 

    - Communication is key.

    Melisa often receives messages that parents are struggling to connect with the lessons and lead their child through them in a way that their child is not resisting.

    Take the time to read the stories and feeling them within you.

    Stuff that comes easy it’s an accomplishment.

    Hone your craft by picking one thing at a time.

    You got this.
