My point of view on parenting has gone viral on TikTok and a whole platform of eager parents has been born. From that wild and wonderful explosion of attention, I now offer:
Parenting Mentoring Sessions for parents who need advice and input on the stuck places with their kids. Here is a link to book a mentoring session with me: https://calendly.com/rythea
Your Kids Don’t Suck PODCAST
Through in-depth discussion and disclosure, therapists and parents Rythea Lee and Cara Tedstone explore the personal and societal challenges of choosing this uncommon parenting philosophy. The intention behind this podcast is to empower parents with education and tools to help them dismantle the patterns that cause power struggles, disconnection, and stress within our family systems.
This podcast is fun, punchy, vulnerable, and exploratory. Go dive in!

For Parents: I am an unschooling/homeschooling Mom who practices non-coercive parenting. This is a big part of my path; to foster my daughter’s autonomy, creativity, and learning while guiding her from a non-authoritarian perspective. This is hard work that requires me (as the parent) to educate myself deeply on the repercussions of authoritarian parenting and the options that are possible if I do something other than that. It turns out, there is a rich, somewhat uncharted world of alternatives to mainstream parenting and schooling that bring profound closeness, play, collaboration, and joy to parenting. It has changed my family’s and my life for the better every day.
