Please Introduce yourself
Hi there! Welcome to When Stopping Isn't An Option! I am so grateful you are here... especially because I know that you haven't had the opportunity to pause the world and join us, and you've likely just added this in to your day! This space is a safe space for sharing the realities of navigating education systems that don't work for all children and young people and of course the many complex, endless and frustrating bureaucracies that accompany them! It is my hope and intention that being in this group gives more than it takes and supports you as you keep going on whatever pathway you are on. You are important. Your mental health is important. And you are so welcome. Please do introduce yourself on this thread as you arrive - it's great to meet you x

I'll go first - Hi, I am Laura, author of When Stopping Isn't An Option, Mum of 4 home educated children and navigator of systems! We stepped out of the UK education system early on, so we are an Elective Home Ed family, and I support other families with their EOTAS (Educated Other Than At School) packages. I also run The Motivated Learner, the UK's first Trauma-Informed Education Consultancy and Tutoring Agency. It's such an honour to do this work... and also my brain melts almost daily, so I have build my own rhythm to build in and protect my sanity! :)

The Polyvagal Compass - this week's printable
Squirrelling away over here...
Happy Sunday everyone. I am sitting here putting the finishing touches to the printable for The Sanctuary Members today as 2pm I will be going live to explain how this solo journaling/ deep dive exercise is done. I'm really enjoying it... I love anything to do with Polyvagal Theory so teaching people how to use it to find a calmer and more regulated nervous system is just wonderful! Apart from that, I have a preteen 'cleaning' her room (ready for us putting up a shelf this evening), a 9 yr old taking his opportunity to play Minecraft on the TV with no one else to share with for once, 7 yr old is at football and Jon is getting the toddler to sleep in the buggy, walking round the sidelines. I will be dashing downstairs in a minute to spend an hour batch cooking TVP lasagnes and making carrot cake bars for next week! PHEW! I hope your Sunday is as restful or productive as you need it to be, especially if you are gearing up for a return to school/ education establishment tomorrow. Do share what you're up to ... it'd be lovely to know where we are all at x
