The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself

A Mindful Guide to Embracing a New Way of Living and Learning With Your Child

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 Esthers 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.

My Body's Power Pack

How to Manage your Energy and Stay in Charge!

My Body's Power Pack uses elements of neuroscience to help children understand why their energy ebbs and flows, and why this may cause dysregulation.

It provides gentle neuro-affirmative coping strategies, including the basics of energy accounting (which is like the popular 'spoons theory' for adults).

The story arc introduces the idea of Dremlins (drainer gremlins, who 'drain' a child's energy) as a metaphor for tough events.

The book empowers children with language to understand their experiences, offers suggestions on what the child can do to cope, and offering advice and support for parents and carers too.

Sandplay: the Image Speaks for Itself

Signposts, Symbols and Themes on the Path of the Sandplay Journey

Every sandtray is filled with symbolic meaning - the key is learning what there is to read and how to read it. This book emphasizes the importance of visual imagery and meticulous observation to interpret sandplays, allowing practitioners to find the authentic meanings in clients' sandplay expression before applying theory or referring to a patient's history. It also explores the impact of the environment on creative work, both in the therapist's studio and externally. Detailed case studies exemplify the themes of each chapter, from practical considerations such as restricted budgets, the sand trays and the physical objects in the sand tray, to the conceptual interactions between developmental play, myth, human experience, art and nature, and the symbolic representations that form sandplay journeys.

Messy Social Work

Learning from Frontline Practice with Children and Families

Social work is a complex career - a hugely rewarding way to make a difference in people's lives, paired with an enormous responsibility to get it right. This (unofficial) guide, grounded in the author's decade-long experience on the front line of child protection, explores the intersection between these points and how to handle the challenges of the job while celebrating its joys. This isn't a tidy list of textbook situations and perfect solutions - there are mistakes of all shapes and sizes, there are consequences, and (most importantly) there are reflections on what went wrong and how to not do the same thing in your own practice.

Created to encourage and empower clinicians to make a paradigm shift to a more neurodiversity-affirmative approach, this book acknowledges the challenges of working within a system that is inherently deficit based and provides practice points and clinical reflections on how to embed neurodiversity-affirmative principles in their individual practice.
