Raising My Wild One

On this page you will find a list of my The Best Positive Parenting Books.

When I was pregnant, I suffered from Hyperemesis Gravidarium. I spent A LOT of time in bed! I tried to use this time to my advantage, and panic read as many parenting books as I could get my hands on.

A brief introduction into home education.

Do I need to send my child to school? - Raising My Wild One Do I need to send my child to school?

Hi, my name is Bizzy. As a child, I was lucky to grow up with my Mum at home full time looking after me. I have such fond memories of that period in my life. When my daughter Lyra was born in 2019, I felt passionate about wanting to replicate the same experience with her.

Whilst I was pregnant read a lot of parenting books and was drawn in particular to the method of gentle parenting and teaching using the Montessori method. These were completely new concepts that I had never heard before and utterly different from any parenting models I had seen.

This discovery ignited a desire to continue learning and eventually led me down the road of home education.

I love the idea that by educating our daughter outside of a school environment, we will allow her to follow her passions, free from the restrictions of having to fit into a ‘one size fits all’ approach to learning.

When I am not in ‘Mum mode’ you will find me either at the local veterinary hospital where I work as a Veterinary Nurse, rummaging around my local charity shop or watching scary movies.

Whilst Lyra has not quite reached compulsory school age yet, we have already met a welcoming, supportive home education community, and I am very excited for our adventures ahead!
