Tell Me More...
If you are keen to learn more about conscious parenting whilst being part of a community of like-minded individuals then our book club is definitely for you! Our aim is to create a safe and welcoming online community where we can explore books about parenting, child development, self-reflection, trauma and healing. The book club is intended for parents with children of any age, grandparents, carers or professionals working with children. We launched our very first 8-week block of sessions in January 2024 covering the book The Whole Brain Child by Dr Daniel Seigel and Dr Tina Payne Bryson. Click here to find out what people said about it!
Our next book is going to be The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read (and your children will be glad you did) by Philippa Perry. Keep scrolling for details, we'd love to see you there!

I love learning but I hate reading! I know, I know, the irony! We all have different learning styles though, right!? And the moment I discovered audiobooks my book consumption increased tenfold! My favourite way to devour a book is to listen on double speed when I'm driving. I do enjoy fiction books but I like to complete them in a day or two so that only happens a few times a year, usually when I'm on holiday! Parenting books, on the other hand, I read all year round however, they don't tend to have the irresistible page turning cliff hangers that a good thriller does so motivation can be harder to come by. That's why I love a book club! I find that I am motivated to read because I want to join in with meaningful and reflective discussion. The books I have read so far have all contributed to improved self-awareness, improved parenting and better outcomes for my family as a whole.
Favourite Non-Fiction Book:
Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenburg
Currently Reading:
The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read, Mother Hunger, Prima Facie
I love reading books and like to discuss books with other people. I like to hear opinions and interpretations that are different to mine to think about things that I might not have considered. I prefer to read paper books when I’m reading a non-fiction book. I tend to read the chapters randomly starting with the chapters that catch my attention first. For fiction books I like to read them in e-book format as this allows me to read them without a light on at night. I have been in several book clubs in the past and I have run a fiction and a non-fiction book club myself.
Currently Reading:
The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller. Beautiful book about the different types of grief the human soul encounters in life (not just the loss of the people and the things we love) and the importance of acknowledging them all.
The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read (and Your Children Will be Glad That You Did) by Philippa Perry.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am quite nervous about having to speak in front of a group. Is this complusory? No, we encourage participants to keep their camera on if possible but we understand that some people might prefer to observe rather than participate. You can send the hosts a private message to let them know if you don't want to speak or if you have other requirements that would make you feel comfortable.
What happens if I can't make all of the sessions? You can still access the WhatsApp group to stay in the loop and if you haven't had chance to read the chapter, still turn up! We do a chapter summary in each call!
I haven't got children, is the current book appropriate? Along with parents and grandparents, the current book is suitable for anyone who works with children or supports parents/ carers e.g. teachers, TA's, social workers.
My child is neurodivergent, is the current book suitable? Yes, you know your child best so you may want to adapt some strategies to meet the needs of your child and we welcome discussion of this in the group. The strategies in the book are based on connection with your child.
I am neurodivergent, is this club suitable for me? We want this book club to feel like an inviting space for anyone who would like to attend. Here are some things we are doing; weekly voice notes sent via WhatsApp to inform members of the chapters to read along with the equivalent audible chapters for those listening to an audiobook, weekly session plans sent in advance to let members know what to expect on the live call, all documents use OpenDyslexia font and are on a coloured background and members can participate as little or as much as they would like in group discussions. If you have individual requirements that we have not thought of, please email jodie@nurtureinfused.com to discuss how we can accomodate you.
I am not very confident with technology. Is this book club suitable for me? If you can operate your email you should be fine! You will be sent a link via email to click on for the calls. There will be other basic things that we can talk you through such as turning your camera and microphone on.
I haven't got a PayPal account, is there an alternative way to pay? You can pay by bank transfer. Email jodie@nurtureinfused.com to receive details.
I've got a question you haven't answered. No problem! Email me at jodie@nurtureinfused.com
