To unschool your child, you must first unschool yourself.

Many parents are aware that their child is unhappy at school, but they assume that if their child were to leave school, they would need to recreate school at home which can feel impossible. However, when the parent is willing to move beyond their own conditioning, learning beyond school can offer exactly what their child needs to grow into the full potential of who they are. 

Esther Jones gently encourages you to navigate this journey with curiosity and self-compassion and provides you with a clear path forward in your next step in accompanying your child in their learning. Extremely relevant for parents of a neurodivergent child, this book packed with practical suggestions and exercises, as well as stories from parents who have walked this path before, including Esther's own lived experiences.

Consisting of two parts this book will first guide you through how children learn and then offers you a four step solution to unlocking your freedom from traditional schooling, providing you with all the tools you need to understand what it means to unschool and help your child thrive in a home setting.

Esther Jones is a podcaster, mindful parenting teacher, parent mentor, and mother of three. She hosts 'The Unschool Space' podcast, speaking to parents, professionals and well-known figures in alternative education. Esther has also published articles on Self-Directed Education and runs a monthly unschooling workshop and an online Mindful Parenting course.
