Sarah
Parent is the whole-life unschooling Mama
of Elijah (6.5 y/o) and Sadie (5 y/o). Sarah
spent 11 years as a registered nurse in labor
and birth, mindful childbirth preparation,
and advocacy for women and families which
culminated in a Master's Degree in Nursing
Education. Career and education clashed head-on
with motherhood with the realization that
money and degrees were no match for her sensitive,
pensive son and spunky, wild-child daughter
when it came down to where to spend her time.
Their lead and the hearts of she and her husband,
Chris, brought them to whole-life unschooling
and gentle parenting over bumpy roads of doubt.
She maintains a wealth of knowledge and strong
belief in- and advocacy for- the empowerment
of women through birth. Now, as her children
grow, she has found her voice in advocating
for authentic children and peaceful families
through unschooling and gentle parenting if
only to support others in navigating those
bumpy roads.
She is the author of Clan of Parents (www.clanofparents.com)
which chronicles her family?s unschooling
adventures and the host of Humans Being (available
on itunes or at www.werhumansbeing.com)-
a podcast focusing on gentle parenting and
unschooling issues.
