In The Joy of Slow, she offers practical guidance on: creating daily rhythms that celebrate the ordinary and make space for spontaneity supporting children as they explore personal interests and engage in self-directed learning tracking students' progress in ways that might be overlooked by traditional assessments prioritizing connection with other people and the natural world While parents of young children are more likely to embrace a slow childhood that nurtures wonder and imagination, panic often sets in as kids grow older, and parents worry about preparing them for the world beyond school.

"A practical guide for women, nonbinary, and LGBTQIA+ people to claim our right to be safe, to take up space, and to speak up for ourselves. Don't walk alone at night. Don't leave your drink unattended. Don't hurt anyone's feelings. Most women and nonbinary people are taught these rules, intended to keep us safe from harassment, abuse, and assault, from a young age.

Growing Up in Public shows parents how to help tweens and teens navigate boundaries, identity, privacy, and reputation in their digital world.

How can they figure out who they really are with zero privacy and constant judgment?
