Do you want to transform your relationship with your child, engage
their curiosity, and make your home the best place for them to
learn? In this warm, accessible book, experienced parenting coach
Eloise Rickman tells you everything you really need to know about
parenting and educating your child at home. Whether you're planning
to make a permanent move to homeschooling or you're temporarily
balancing it alongside paid work, Extraordinary Parenting shows
that you don't need a huge house, endless free time, or a host of
expensive resources to unlock your child's potential. Instead, it
will teach you to: Deepen your connection with your child to create
an attachment that promotes learning. Build strong, adaptable
family rhythms to provide your child with security and stimulation
every day. Create a calm, simplified home environment that will
encourage deep play and independence. Discover enjoyable ways of
learning together and using traditional teaching materials in a
creative way. Take care of your own needs as a parent, in order to
become the parent your child needs. Based on years of hands-on work
with parents, this book will reassure you that, whilst
extraordinary times call for extraordinary parenting, you can be
sure that you are up to the challenge.
A radical yet practical manifesto on why it’s time to rethink our
treatment of children and their place in society. In Children’s
Liberation, author and educator Eloise Rickman argues that we need
to urgently rethink how we raise, educate, and treat children, and
that the discrimination children face is a political and social
justice issue which has been ignored for too long. Upholding
children’s rights is crucial if we want a better world for us all
— a future that could be within our grasp. Rickman shows the ways
in which children are ignored, repressed, or actively harmed in
many aspects of our society, considering everything from smacking
and public shaming to the ways in which the school system
disadvantages children and governmental failure to confront air
pollution. Children are not passive victims though, and Rickman
highlights examples of their resistance, from staging climate
protests to ‘bad behaviour’. Drawing on sociology, philosophy,
children’s rights, and educational theory, Children’s
Liberation is at once a rousing call-to-arms and a hopeful book,
featuring practical solutions and the voices of people who are
working towards them. From educators creating schools where
children are free to be themselves to the political campaigners
advocating for children’s right to vote, Rickman shows that the
positive changes we need are closer than we think.
