Trustful Parenting

What does it mean to place radical trust in your children, supporting their independent decisions even if they don't always seem ideal? How do parents best support their children who enrolled in an alternative school like Alpine Valley School? We tackle these questions and more on episode 16 of the Alpine Valley School podcast. Guest Connie Cook talks about raising her three children (all AVS grads) and how she handled her own worries when they arose. She also talks about strategies for dealing with the rocky transitional period that can sometimes happen as newer students adjust to our radical model of education. Connie has been a staff member at AVS for many years, and she has a wealth of valuable information to share on this episode! In addition, we're rolling out a new feature and we want to hear from you!
