Parenting challenges us to acknowledge and meet our personal growth and developmental needs as much as it does our children’s!

 

As a young mother Beverley Paine blended her growing understanding of permaculture and natural learning to synthesise a simple, paradigm-shifting path through the bewildering and often conflicting maze of parenting advice and information. Since the mid-1980s she has been growing and learning and sharing her awesome journey of parenting with others through her website The Educating Parent http://theeducatingparent.com.

 

She has steadfastly promoted and supported homeschooling / unschooling as an educational choice for Australian families. Her writing aims to demystify education, gently de-schooling parents so that they may help their children meet their individual and unique educational and developmental needs. Her honesty, insights and wealth of experience continues to bring hope, reassurance and confidence to families.

 

Beverley is also the author of Getting Started with Home Schooling Practical Considerations and other titles, available through Always Learning Books http://alwayslearningbooks.com.au.
