Parenting Against the Grain

Another aspect of thoughtful parenting that we discuss on the blog is the idea of Parenting Against the Grain. As you make mindful parenting decisions for your kids, you often find yourself going against the grain of modern parenting culture.

Do you want:

  • to value time and space for kids to be kids and allow time for free play?
  • to find ways to NOT overschedule your kids?
  • to foster strong emotional intelligence in your kids?
  • to set age-appropriate limits on technology?

If you relate to this feeling, I urge you to join our Facebook Group, Parenting Against the Grain, where you will find support, encouragement and information to help you navigate your parenting choices. Join HERE!

Amy Webb
As a mom of two young boys, I've seen first-hand how research-based child development information, combined with intuition, can guide you through your parenting journey. Although I have a Ph.D.in Human Development and Family Sciences, many of my real parenting discoveries have come through my experience. I believe parenting with confidence comes from knowledge; parenting with grace comes from insight. Join me on this parenting journey of learning and discovery
