| Along the path of parenting,
one experiences certain defining moments that help us to reflect
clearly on our current lives, chart a new course, or simply stand
back and celebrate the fruits of our labor. Our phone consultation
with Enki Director, Beth Sutton, has proven to be one of those
great defining moments. Beth's experience, knowledge, wisdom,
clarity of thought and vision, compassion and non-judgment are
rare and precious gifts that she generously shares. Our consultation
revitalized us and instilled in us great optimism and renewed
vision as we set off along the path of homeschooling in the Enki
philosophy. The suggestions she gave us for improving our family's
well-being have propelled us into a very nurturing rhythm. Beth
Sutton is a beacon of hope and calm in today's world of parenting
and teaching. We wish all parents the opportunity to consult
with herto get help with homeschooling. |
I waited a long time
to use the consultation included in my first Enki package;
I thought I needed to know more, understand more, have my act
a little more together, before I asked for help with homeschooling.
What I learned in that first consult is that there will always
be more questions, none of us really have our act together,
and getting my feet in the water is what’s really important.
As I fumbled for language to describe my daughter, who was
5 at the time, Beth helped me explore different ways of looking
at her, and how what we were doing or not doing was supporting
her, me, and our family.
Since that first consult, I took the plunge and bought a
consultation package. My daughter is now almost 7 and my son
is 4, and I lead
an Enki co-op, so I come to the conversation with questions
both practical and more philosophical. On both counts, each
conversation
with Beth has offered a wealth of food to chew on, suggestions
to try, new ways of seeing, new resolve for following through
on the difficult parts of life and simply help with homeschooling.
I highly recommend it as a support to yourself, your children
and your learning. |
