Sure! Conscious parenting is a label and it is only used here to assist in describing parenting choices that respect and honour the child as a spiritual being. We could also use natural parenting, attachment parenting, connection parenting, spiritual parenting or joyful parenting - choose which ever term resonates with you. Just as you choose the actual parenting concepts, styles, models and tools. We all aim to raise happy children, but conscious parents are aware that their behaviour (parenting style and choices) is paramount in their children's future. The child will develop physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually based on early environment, experiences, nutrition, activities and most of all - LOVE! |
A brief list of conscious parenting concepts are listed here.A discussion paper on Conscious / Sustainable Parenting downloadable here. Also see our Health and Nutrition page for health information and support. Keep an eye on upcoming events as we often have presentations on various conscious parenting topics.
