The Peaceful Home approach to parenting during a pandemic.

We are living through an unprecedented and stressful time, and many parents around the world have been asked to care for and educate their children at home. This presents unique challenges, especially for parents trying to work and oversee their children during long days at home.

Extraordinary Parenting offers authoritative, calm, credible advice that is easy to digest and put into practice straight away, as parents learn to navigate unthinkable circumstances. Central to this quick, informative book is a guide to building strong, flexible family rhythms.

Written by a homeschooling expert with the current Covid-19 crisis in mind, Extraordinary Parenting will have lasting appeal for any family dealing with a sudden change in circumstances—or even just those families who want to rethink the way their household and parenting is structured. What emerges, through Rickman's Montessori- and Waldorf-influenced approach, is a peaceful parenting style that fosters a slow childhood and a holistic family way of being in the world.

Eloise Rickman is a parent educator who works with clients around the world through online courses and coaching, and through her Instagram account @mightymother_. Her work focuses on evidence-based parenting, home education, and helping families find more rhythm and ease in their daily lives. She is a trained doula, and previously studied social anthropology at Cambridge University, where she first became interested in how childhood and family practices shape society. She lives in south London with her husband, Sam, and young daughter Frida, who has been home educated from birth.

Gemma Dawson is a classically trained British actress born and raised in London, England. She graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, and went on to become one of their prestigious company members. She has remained in NYC, where she now works as an actress and voice-over artist. Gemma has acted on stage Off-Broadway as well as back home in the UK. She has lent her voice to documentaries, television shows, commercials, and major motion pictures. She has narrated over sixty audiobooks and approaches a title in the same way she would any stage role, with the objective of bringing the story and characters to life with authenticity, accuracy, and imagination.
