About This Orientation

Caregiving often asks us to decide quickly: should I step in—or should I let this unfold?

Many caregivers are taught to intervene out of habit, fear, or social expectation.

This free, live webinar introduces a discernment-based lens for caregiving—one that centers presence, safety, and respect for children as whole beings with inner lives.

This session is the official orientation to the upcoming workshop:

Rather than offering rules or techniques, the purpose of this orientation is simple and specific:

To introduce the philosophy, values, and relational approach that shape the workshop—so you can decide, with clarity, whether this aligns with you and whether you want to engage in the workshop.

This is not a training.

It is not a condensed workshop.

• The core philosophy behind discernment-based caregiving
• The difference between presence and performance in caregiving
• How this work understands boundaries, safety, and agency
