    When the Naughty Step Makes Things Worse Parenting for Children (and Adults) Who Need Something Different

    When the Naughty Step Makes Things Worse
    BOOK Paperback, E-Book, Audiobook Published on October 3, 2024

    A down-to-earth illustrated guide for parents of children just haven't read the parenting books.

    Some children just haven't read the parenting books. The harder you try, the worse it gets. There's a hidden contract at the heart of parenting. It's the idea that if parents just get it right, their children can be made to do what they want. Manuals explain how to make it very clear to your children what you want them to do - and how to respond when they don't cooperate.

    A Different Way to Learn Neurodiversity and Self-Directed Education

    A Different Way to Learn
    BOOK Paperback, E-Book Published on June 21, 2023

    If you are a parent worrying whether self-directed education will work for your child, because you have been told that they have special needs which can only be met in the school system - think again'. Neurodivergent children experience and interact with the world differently to many of their peers. Standard educational systems often fail to adapt to their unique strengths and ways of learning. School, and even the act of learning, can become a source of great anxiety and trauma. Self-directed education offers an alternative to traditional schools that can help neurodivergent children develop at their own pace and thrive.
