You want your kids to grow up grounded, grateful and connected to the earth. But honestly? You’re tired. Screens are easier. And the thought of going plastic-free or making toothpaste from scratch is… laughable.
Good news: raising kids who care doesn’t only have to start with doing more.
It can also start with something as simple as the words we use.
Right now, do YOU feel like:
Screens are winning.
Convenience is winning.
And the eco-advice out there makes you feel like you’re failing?
Everywhere you look, the “suggestions” for being eco-conscious seem impossible: compost EVERYTHING, grow your own vegetables, go plastic-free, cycle everywhere with a baby strapped to your back and three toddlers holding onto the handlebars… all while baking everything from scratch.
But like me, you’re already maxed out. Yet, under the exhaustion, there’s that lingering fear:
👉 What if my kids grow up disconnected? What if I’m missing my chance to give them the values that matter most?
As an environmental philosopher, I spent years writing and lecturing about environmental ethics (I even got my PhD in it!) - but at home, I was stretched thin, juggling kids (3 under 4 at a stage) and SO MANY to-dos.
The result: I was am far from eco-perfect.
Then one day, I realised: it’s not only about big lifestyle changes. It’s also about the roots - the small words, the tiny rituals, the everyday noticing.
When I started swapping a few simple words, my kids began to see things differently. They noticed more. They asked questions. I could see a greater sense of care taking root inside of them.
🌱 Your child bites into a fruit and feels gratitude instead of taking it for granted.
🌱 They sit under a tree and notice the living patterns of light and shade.
🌱 At night, they look up and feel awe at the fiery brilliance of the stars.
By using little shifts in language, we can spark big shifts in how our kids notice, connect and care.
A 10-day email course that lands in your inbox with one word swap each day - so you can plant seeds of connection, appreciation and wonder in your kids, without adding more to your already maxed-out plate.
A small commitment with big potentital.
(And the emails will only take you 2 minutes to read- pinky promise!)
In 10 days, you’ll discover:
Everyday words that disconnect kids from nature - and what to say instead.
10-second word swaps that spark curiosity and care.
How to turn “ordinary” things into alive, magical parts of your kids’ world.
A set of language shifts you’ll keep using long after the 10 days are up.
🌱 10 short daily emails - each one includes:
A word swap,
A quick why it matters (the deeper meaning behind it)
A tiny action you can try with your kids that day.
🌱 Small words, big impact. Discover how everyday language quietly shapes how your kids see the natural world - and how changing just a few words can grow care, connection, and curiosity.
🌱 Designed for real life. Short, gentle and practical - these swaps fit into busy days without adding overwhelm to your to-do list.
See an example swap below!
Here's an example:
It’ll help kids admire how each seed soldier keeps fighting to give its seeds a chance to grow, even in the toughest places. It teaches them to see persistence and adaptability as bravery in growth.
Spot one weed with your kids and say, “Look at this seed soldier fighting through the concrete!”
"In a world rife with posturing, photoshop and fake, this is the real thing. 100% authentic... with a message that leaves one wanting to be a more real and involved human-being"
"A compelling message that is delivered with great skill, rooted in a wealth of knowledge and with deep authenticity."
"The perfect blend of credible and conversational. Jess has all the clout to compel her audiences to pay attention and all the warmth to make them want to."
"Informative and inspiring in equal measure."
You keep feeling guilty for not doing “enough”… but you also know you can’t possibly add more to your already full plate.
The years keep racing by, and you worry you’re missing your chance to give your kids the values that matter most.
Deep down, you fear your kids will grow up more connected to their screens than to the earth.
That’s the real cost - staying stuck between guilt and exhaustion, and raising kids who don’t reflect what you care about most.
This course gives you a simple alternative. With minimal effort, you can start planting seeds of connection and care that last a lifetime.
If you sign up now, you’ll also get:
Printable Kid-Friendly Poster - a simple, illustrated poster of the 10 word swaps to stick on your fridge.
Bedtime Story Prompts - playful ways to weave the new words into family storytelling.
Still not sure?
“This isn’t about adding pressure or overwhelm. It’s about giving you simple, doable tools that fit into real life. My promise: these swaps will feel light and easy - not like another item on your to-do list.”
“By the end of Day 1, you’ll already have one word swap in your pocket to start changing how your kids see the world. That’s my promise: quick, meaningful wins you can use right away.”
“If you don’t love the course, no worries - just unsubscribe from the emails. But my guess? You’ll want to stick around, because small shifts add up fast.”
Not for:
Parents already off-grid, weaving hemp diapers by candlelight.
Parents who don’t care if their kids ever connect with nature.
Perfect for you if:
You care deeply but feel exhausted and guilty.
You want your kids to grow up grounded and connected without needing eco-perfection.
You believe small shifts today can ripple into lasting change tomorrow.
The truth is, kids don’t wait for us to feel less tired or less busy. The years roll on.
If nothing changes, you’ll keep carrying that low-level guilt - knowing you want your kids to care about the earth, but feeling too stretched to do more.
Fast forward a few years, and you may look back wishing you’d planted those roots when it mattered most.
This isn’t about eco-perfection. It’s about giving your kids a lens that makes them notice, appreciate and care - before the window slips by.
Nature Language 101 works for a wide range of ages - from toddlers just starting to talk, to tweens and teens who are still shaping how they see the world. Parents often notice the swaps stick fastest with kids between 3–10, but don’t underestimate older ones - they love correcting us, too ;)
Not at all. This isn’t about eco-perfection or doing everything “right.” It’s about making small shifts in words and mindsets that fit into any family’s real life.
Just a few minutes. You’ll get one short email a day with a simple swap and a tiny prompt to try out. No extra prep, no worksheets.
Because this is a low-cost starter course ($19) and delivered instantly, there are no refunds. But my promise is that the swaps are light, doable, and designed to make parenting feel easier, not harder.
No stress. All the emails will land in your inbox, so you can read and try them at your own pace. You’ll also get a printable cheat sheet and poster so the swaps are always there when you’re ready.
You don’t need eco-perfection. You just need small shifts that fit real life - the kind that help your kids see the world with more wonder, care and connection.
