help for those who have a hard time just BEING
There are people here who live in the U.S., Spain, Australia and The Netherlands, but they can help internationally. If you need a language other than English, at the moment Spanish and Dutch are possibilities. (The pandemic has shortened the list, maybe temporarily.)
Roya Dedeaux
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #95302)
Roya Dedeaux was herself unschooled (as Roya Sorooshian) and so understands the considerations of such families. She can counsel in person in the Los Angeles area, or provide coaching services remotely, anywhere. RoyaDedeaux.com
Marji Zintz
Marji is set up to offer one-on-one help with parenting, as The Peaceful Parent Whisperer. She offers help in person (she lives in Olivebridge, New York), by phone, or via the Internet (Gmail chat or Skype).
To hear Marji speak about her family of origin, singing snatches of songs, and talking about music, listen here: Music is the Universal Language (at the bottom of a list of recordings, all available to hear there freely—only 12 minutes long, and beautiful).

Graham Dusseldorp offers coaching for dads wanting to balance work and families:
Graham can counsel in his native Dutch or his very-impressive American-accented English. ("Canadian" he says. Because his wife, Rippy, is Canadian.) (See their family here. )This is Graham's smaller second job. His main job is a consultant for the government of the Netherlands.
Amy Childs has retired, temporarily or forever, as of December 2018. She's taking a break.
