Is your heart emotionally at rest?

Support and refreshment for the devoted, yet tired homeschooler

from an attachment-based perspective

Feel understood.

Experience emotional rest.

Become renewed.

While the days are often overflowing with tasks and you’re engaged in the wild and dynamic vocation of caring, teaching and guiding your children at home, it can be easy to forget to extend to yourself the same quality of grace that the attachment-based developmental approach suggests you offer to them. 

At The HOMESCHOOLER’s Hearth, we support you while you guide your children. We provide compassionate, nonjudgmental care by way of coaching conversations, courses and online resources. Our coaching incorporates many of the same principles of attachment and relational development that help ease children’s hearts and help them reach their greatest potential.

By applying attachment-based and relational principles to adult inner development, your children may sense something quite different radiating from you.

The particular quality of warmth required to homeschool well

becomes readily available to our children when we tend to our own inner and outer attachment dynamics and regularly experience this warmth within ourselves.

When it comes to refreshment and care for a homeschooler’s own heart, we are here to help you…

  • decide whether it is best to continue educating at home or to begin homeschooling in the first place

  • find clarity regarding which homeschooling curriculum and educational approach is the right fit for you and your family

  • set up each day for success, emotionally as well as academically, no matter what curriculum you select

  • resolve fears and vulnerabilities that can hijack the joy of educating at home

  • eliminate the “shoulds” that lead to unnatural homeschooling schedules and rhythms

  • overcome the inclination to compare yourself to other parents

  • attune to your needs and the needs of your children with more compassion and grace

  • confront insecurities that result in behaviour-focused and outcome-based tactics that can compromise children’s natural development and your peace of mind

  • refine your life balance and create restorative time to increase energy and health for your body, mind and soul

  • feel understood, uplifted and encouraged and find renewed meaning in the day-to-day vocation of homeschooling

Nature doesn’t just want our children whole, free and reaching their full potential… it wants the grown-ups they lean on to be all we are meant to be too.

Our homeschooler and personal coaching services are not counselling or therapy. Professional coaching anchored in relational attachment education is a fresh approach and combines pure coaching methodology with attachment-based consulting.

Our services are designed to help you come to your own emotional rest for more meaningful days, more restorative nights and a more fruitful homeschool experience.
