#125: RECLAIM PEACE & DITCH OLD SCHOOL LEARNING WITH CHILD-LED HOME EDUCATION.
Before you send your child to school - listen to this podcast interview with expert home educator Kiki from "Kiki and the Wildlings" in England. I was crying during this interview..I WISH I'd met her when my children were younger.
I, like most people, failed as a mainstream school mom, as a homeschooler and I hated special needs education.. both mainstream school parenting, and home education. You don't have to.
Instead of trying to fit your child into a box that is claustrophobic and outdated - even for so-called "neurotypical" children, you can reclaim freedom and a peaceful childhood for your child.
*What we talk about in this podcast:*
How to get started. Now.
The perfect solution for overwhelmed moms with kids who don't fit into the outdated school system.
How home education honours "special interests" and could be a positive experience for your autistic child.
How home education reclaims childhood and replaces the "hamsterwheel" stress with slow mornings, long walks in nature and conflict-free learning.
How child-led learning takes the pressure out of life as a mom and how to wave goodbye to boring homework without sacrificing your child's learning experience.
Why you don't have to "work like a teacher" or feel like you have to "take on even more" to do this. You don't even have to follow boring curriculums or be good at maths. Not at all. In fact - unlearning, enjoying life in the forest, reading favourite books, going to museums and roaming free IS the curriculum in child-led home education.
How to deal with resistance from other people and experts within the system.
How to make it work financially and practically.

#124: PATIENCE & FAITH WITH AUTISM MOM DANIELLE. FEWER MELTDOWNS - NO ELOPING!
*FEWER MELTDOWNS - NO ELOPING!*
If you've ever broken down crying because you feel like you "just can't do autism anymore", You need to listen to this podcast, because autism mom Danielle knows what to do when despair hits you hard.
She also brings hope to those who are struggling with stress from dealing with eloping, meltdowns in the grocery store or school and lack of social skills. Danielle recently watched her son deal with noise, kids screaming, and challenging and unpredictable situations WITHOUT meltdowns and that was a HUGE milestone that she wants to share with you so that you might experience the same.
"I cried."
That's how Danielle described her reaction that the day when she was finally able to take her son to an un-planned event at school and he didn't have a meltdown.
"He didn't push, elope or react when kids of all ages started pushing and screaming. He also didn't protest when he was given his usual plum, apples and healthy treats while other children ate the pizza and candy that used to give him tantrums in the past.
Even though you might think that Danielle is lucky - in this podcast episode she describes the days when "she just cries out to God because she "simply doesn't want to (or know how to handle) autism anymore.
Why? Because he's still not speaking/communicating.
Because the progress he's made has taken 3 years.

#123: NONVERBAL AUTISM: WHY IS MY CHILD NOT SPEAKING?
Why is my autistic child reversing pronouns, echoing or parroting instead of speaking? Non verbal autism is on the rise and if you're worried about your child's future - asking yourself: "Will my child ever speak and what can I do to help?" - I have recorded this podcast for you....
Non-verbal autism is misunderstood and mistreated in the mainstream, special needs, speech and behavioural therapy community.
It's almost always caused by one of the 3 underlying issues (that you can address) that I am describing in detail in this week's podcast episode:
Epigenetic insults and imbalanced methylation pre - during or after pregnancy.
Neurological under-stimulation. You can re-develop the brain to hardwire the skills your child needs (starting today.)
Emotional/psychological issues. (we have to talk about this.....
Listen to this value-packed and short podcast and regain hope while you collect tools you can use to help your child now..
Love from me...
