Restorative Parenting

We loved having discussions between the four of us, but we want to hear from you! We are hosting an online meet-up over Zoom on Monday the 22nd of May 2023 at 7pm British Summer Time (2pm Eastern) and you are invited to join us to share your highs and lows of restorative parenting.

We would particularly be interested to hear from you who are dads or parents of older children since those perspectives weren’t reflected in season one of the podcast.

If you would like to take part in the meet-up on the 22nd of May or in future similar meet-ups, please send me a message at joy@minthouseoxford.co.uk and I’ll send you the details. You can also find information in the episode description.

Hope to see you there!
