Aligned with the practice of respectful parenting, unschooling challenges conventional educational paradigms, and offers a liberating alternative that both nurtures children's autonomy and fosters meaningful intergenerational connections. In this episode Dr. Coor speaks with Akilah S. Richards, author of "Raising Free People: Unschooling as Liberation and Healing Work," about transformative approaches to education and parenting, and - the power of unschooling as a path to freedom and healing for families.
Using respectful parenting tools can make space for you and your child to have a more collaborative and peaceful relationship. And yet it’s extremely hard to use the tools you have when you’re triggered in the present by past experiences, stressed by the daily challenges of life, or overwhelmed during a difficult parenting situation. In this episode, Dr. Nanika Coor explains how making mindfulness a regular part of your parenting can help you see your child - and yourself - with less judgment and more sensitivity.
Project Parenthood is hosted by Dr. Nanika Coor. A transcript is available at Simplecast.
