What a great approach! My sons are still very young (4 years, and 3 weeks), but I have already laid a foundation of freedom while establishing a healthy respect for authority.
The parents are most certainly "in charge", but it doesn't come to that much. My four year old is given the freedom to explore and learn in his own way, provided that way is safe.
@cryptomomma and I have recently started a curation effort centered around parenting. We would like to invite you to use the #steemmoms tag on posts about being a mother, and we'll be sure to try and get them some more attention 😁
It sounds like you are creating such a healthy home culture so early! I wish I had known everything I know now when my girls were little. They are 13 and 15 now.
Thank you so much for the invitation! That sounds amazing! I am loving getting to connect with other parents in this space and learn from their wisdom and experiences. I would love to follow you and your wife and use your tag. Thats incredibly kind of you to invite me.
Parents aren't getting the attention they deserve here on steemit. I aim to fix that. This is the hardest 24/7 job imaginable, and we all deserve a pat on the back and our own juicebox every now and again 😉
I fully agree! Thanks for taking the initiative and creating a group. I'm honored to be included. It sounds like you are cultivating a really encouraging space for parents : )
