SURVIVING SCHOOL
With Aware Parenting and the Marion Method
Helping you confidently navigate the school/day care systems, advocate your needs and maintain a lifelong connection to your child.
This course is for you if...
You are ‘in’ the system, but don’t want to become a part ‘of’ it, by ignoring your child’s needs and family values.
You are navigating traditional school challenges and need practical tools to support your child emotionally and reduce daily stress.
Are wanting to say goodbye to stressful mornings, drop off anxiety and bullying.
Want to raise emotionally secure, independent children, who thrive both in school and in life.
I would love to ask you...
Is school drop-off a daily battle?
Are you struggling to support your child through meltdowns, bullying, or separation anxiety — but don’t know where to start?
Imagine if you could drop off your child with a smile, knowing they feel safe and supported, especially when you’re not there?
Imagine evenings filled with connection and calm, instead of tears and tantrums?
You are not alone...
As parents, it can feel impossible to juggle the endless demands of work, schooling, family life and your own well-being—but there is a more enjoyable way!
What if you could:
Support your child’s physical and emotional needs, without spending hours searching for answers?
Transform morning stress into morning bliss with calm, organised routines—starting this week?
Finally feel confident as a parent, knowing what you’re doing is in alignment with what you REALLY want for your family?
If this feels out of reach, you’re in the right place.
In just 20 mins a day...
Surviving School with Aware Parenting and the Marion Method is a 10-module online course, designed for busy parents who want effective solutions, without adding more to their plate.
In just 20 minutes a day, you’ll gain the tools to:
Handle morning meltdowns and create peaceful drop-offs.
Advocate for your child’s needs confidently with teachers.
Use attachment play to stay connected before and after school when they need it the most!
See results fast...
I understand you don’t have endless hours to dedicate to parenting courses. That’s why this program is designed to fit into your busy life.
For example, using the Fast Start Guide you will easily experience:
More peaceful and organised mornings within two weeks.
Meltdown free evenings after completing module 4.
Be able to clearly express yours and your child’s needs, making requests that get answered after completing lesson 5 & 6 of Module 7.
Here's what it looks like...
Each lesson can be completed in around 20 minutes a day, with practical steps you can use immediately.
You’ll need to dedicate short bursts of time to learning and practicing the tools—but the payoff is definitely worth it!
Imagine fewer daily struggles, calmer evenings, and a happier home.
And you’ll never have to “sacrifice” connection with your child. Instead, you’ll build a stronger, more enjoyable bond that lasts a lifetime.
I've been there...
I created this course because I’ve been there. I know what it’s like and I only wish I had these tools back when my daughter started school 6 years ago.
As an Aware Parenting Instructor, Marion Method Mentor, Psychospiritual Parenting Mentor and Marion Method Teacher, and a parent who has navigated these exact challenges myself, I know how overwhelming it can feel.
But through years of applying these strategies in my own life—and helping hundreds of families do the same—I’ve created a process that works.
This course is built on:
8+ years of experience in Aware Parenting and the Marion Method principles.
Practical, real-world tools tested by families like yours.
A proven approach that transforms both your parenting and your child’s school experience.
Imagine this...
Mornings that start with laughter and ease, not stress or tears.
Drop-offs where your child walks away confidently, and you feel at peace (not picking up guilt sticks!)
Imagine fewer daily struggles, calmer evenings, and a happier home.
With Surviving School, these aren’t just dreams—they’re achievable, and they start with small, manageable steps.
