10 Resources To Support You Along Your Conscious Parenting Path.


Parenting is not always easy. It comes with triumphs and tribulations. We wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. We were born to be parents. It definitely wasn't always easy, even as our children get older it's not always easy. Once a parent, always a parent. Your roles shift and change as your children grow up into adults, you may still want to take their pain away, protect them from poor choices and guide them, but there comes a time when you have to step back and let them navigate their own path. 

Parenting for everyone is different. Most find it rather hard and some find the answers they need seem to come to them in one form or another. Intentional conscious parenting is about being aware and awake through your parenting process. It's about taking responsibility. It's about learning just as much from your children as they learn from you.


When you are tuned in, balanced and grounded in your parenting you might stop to ponder the lesson you are learning right along with your child as they experience life's lessons along their journey. You really listen to what your children are asking for, needing, seeing, feeling. When you can't figure it out you ask for help. You look for guidance and you know you don't have to do it all alone.

There's no such thing as a perfect parent. We do the best we can. Carol always thought parenting came naturally to most parents. Boy, was she wrong. While working as a Family Resource Specialist at an elementary school she realized quickly some parent's were completely winging it. Some were really struggling and needed all the help they could get. Some had a really good grip and just needed a little help.

Through our blogging, book reviewing and parenting adventures we have come across some really great parenting resources. We thought we would compile them here for easy reference.
