Parent Support Circles
A space for growth and expansion for parents navigating the journey of Self-Directed Education
Choosing SDE is a brave and challenging decision!
Do you feel excited and overwhelmed by the journey you've embarked upon?
We feel you!
Making the decision to transition into Self-Directed Education (SDE) is brave, and it's also tough because role models are scarce, and many of those around you might be questioning your choice… And you might be too!
Some of the most crucial elements of SDE can be difficult to grasp and implement, for example:
How you…
Support your kid’s self directed learning when you don't know what it can look like in real life.
Quiet the fears and doubts that easily show up with stepping outside the conventional system.
Ensure that your young person receives the right support.
What Parent Support Circles offer
These live, monthly online circles are designed to address the core challenges that SDE parents face, helping you to:
-
Transition to SDE: Understanding and navigating learning beyond conventional school models.
-
Build communication without power struggles: Building strong connections without conflict or power struggles.
-
Create intentional culture: Cultivating a thriving, relational learning community in the families and learning environment. Creating inclusive, dynamic, and supportive learning communities.
How are Parent Support Circles structured?
Each session is dynamic, interactive, and structured around the core topics (see above!) that address your most pressing concerns.
Using tools like reflective prompts, small group discussions, and practice exercises, we create a space where you can expand as a parent while you learn, grow and connect with others in your same situation.
What are the benefits for the parents?
You walk away with a deeper understanding of your kids’ needs, and develop tools that support their learning, autonomy and agency.
Parent Support Circles aren’t just about gaining tools. They’re about creating lasting transformation for you and your family. You gain clarity, confidence, and connection on this learning journey.

How do Parent Support Circles help transition from conventional schooling to SDE?
Moving from a system built on coercion to one based on autonomy is exciting but challenging. You know it’s the right decision, yet you might still wonder if you're doing this right and why you're not seeing the results that you were expecting.
Parent Support Circles provide guidance and tools to help you navigate this transition with clarity and confidence.

How do Parent Support Circles build communication without power struggles?
Even when you’re committed to giving your young person freedom and agency, old habits can creep in, leading to conflicts, power struggles, and feelings of failure.
In our Parent Support Circles, you’ll learn how to shift from control to connection, building stronger relationships without the struggles.

How do Parent Support Circles help create intentional culture?
You want your family and learning community to feel like a safe, harmonious space, but without role models or a clear path, it’s easy to feel lost.
Parent Support Circles help you build a thriving culture at home and in collaboration with educators, ensuring that everyone's vision is aligned and working together to support your kid’s growth.
