Being a conscious parent is not about arriving at a destination…after which you have earned the title “conscious parent.” It’s not a designation to put on your resume, or a symbol of having achieved a certain level of mastery of its principles. It’s about the commitment to the journey – and it can start on day one. You can choose TODAY to be a conscious parent. It means you are committed to the never-ending journey that emphasizes growth, truth, authenticity, and presence. We can all practice these skills and achieve various levels of mastery, however the genuine intention towards the journey is the most important piece that matters. Conscious Parenting is not a checklist of external attributes….it’s about the process. It is not about being a “human being,” but about being a “human becoming.” It is about being authentic, vulnerable, and honest. While there is a full spectrum of what that looks like from the outside, the most important aspect of being a conscious parent is the intention.

Love of learning

This morning, on day 4 of summer vacation, my 7 year old asked me, “Mommy, can you make me some homework?”

About an hour later, here is the result of that….

In an effort to help me get my work done, my little one wanted to do what she does every day anyway…..learn.

Instead of the fallbacks of games, reading, or (yikes!) television, I was oh so thrilled to make these for her.

Like she already knows, the brain does not turn off because it is summer! (well, not all the time, anyway!) 🙂

What special things do you do with your child for learning?
