the art of accompaniment
An exploration of values-driven child-rearing

Discover how your values can shape a more connected, grounded family life.
Parenting through adolescence is its own kind of journey—one that asks us to continually balance guidance and trust, protection and freedom, connection and letting go. In this series, we’ll explore how our own values can become a compass for family life, helping us make thoughtful decisions, navigate challenges, and support young people as they discover and define what matters to them.
This series is designed primarily for parents, guardians, and caregivers of middle and high school-aged young people, though those accompanying children at other stages of development will also benefit.
Together, we’ll explore practical ways to strengthen relationships, foster self-awareness and confidence, and create family cultures where young people feel both rooted and empowered to become themselves.
We’ll also make space for the tensions that inevitably arise when our values meet the wider world. What do we do when the culture around our children seems to pull in a different direction?
How do we hold our hopes and fears for who they will become without asking them to become who we imagined? And how can we remain grounded in what matters to us while making room for young people to find their own way?
Each webinar will draw on real-life case studies and scenarios contributed by participants asking questions like:
How do I inoculate my son against unhealthy masculinity?
Will I damage my daughter's social life if all her friends have a smartphone but she doesn't?
What should I do if I find out that my child has bullied a peer?
Is it normal for my teenager to change their values overnight?
How do I raise my kids so that they are friends with each other?
These case studies will create space for reflection, conversation, and practical exploration together.

Junemee Kim
Junemee (she/her), a graduate of Seattle’s Lakeside School, earned a BA in Social Studies from Harvard College. She also holds a master's degree from the university in Regional Studies and pursued further research in History and Anthropology. During her time in Cambridge, Junemee was a proctor, resident tutor, and assistant resident dean, as well as an award-winning teaching fellow and academic advisor in the humanities and social sciences.
After starting a family, she began coaching other parents and served in multiple family association roles across several schools. She utilizes 25+ years of educational and developmental knowledge and expertise in her private mentorship practice – guiding students, parents and families to craft personalized roadmaps for academic and socio-emotional success and fulfillment – building skills, connections, mindsets, and self-understandings which last a lifetime.
“In a world driven by transactions, Junemee is genuinely relational. She cares for you and your child’s heart with compassion and empathy while also being direct and honest in her coaching approach. I feel less alone in this parenting journey thanks to her support. I see a meaningful difference in the ways I am able to slow down, self-reflect, and guide my own children in healthier ways. I feel lighter and my children notice it too!”
