Aware Parenting with Joss
I am a parenting coach and mentor. I support families to create more connection, awareness and joy in parenting. I also support families who are homeschooling to have more trust, ease and fun on their adventures with learning at home.
Aware Parenting is an approach to raising our children founded by Aletha Solter Ph.D. It prioritises strong, connected relationships in our families and gives parents the tools, based on strong scientific research, to support our children to be cooperative, connected to their authentic selves, loving and non-violent.
