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.

Introducing our new program: ConsciousParents.org birthday parties!

Do any of these sound familiar to you?

  • Are you wishing your child could attend birthday parties that serve fun and tasty (but healthier) food options?
  • Do you wish you had some say over what types of gifts your child receives at their party?
  • Do you get stressed out thinking about planning a party for your child, because you feel pressure that your child has an expectation of what the party will be like, even though you don’t want to or can’t afford to have that type of party?
  • Are you secretly wishing you could get all the parents in your social circle together and all agree to start making some changes, so that you aren’t the only one doing something different?  (i.e. NOT doing goodie bags full of junk?)

 

Why birthday parties?

As parents, we all know it’s time for some change.  While there are many great opportunities to promote conscious parenting, we believe we can make the most immediate difference with children’s birthday parties.  We know we can throw a great party, and the children and parents will have a blast, incorporating some of our ideas and suggestions.   At the same time, we can feel great knowing we are doing our part in making a shift for the greater good.

At ConsciousParents.org, we believe in our hearts that we CAN make a shift.  The more parents that embrace unique options, and new ideas, the better it will be for all of our children.

Some parties may only incorporate one of our ideas.  Some might incorporate many of them.  Either way, we can slowly, but surely shift the tide.

Imagine how nice it will be when you can have your child attend a party, and know that the parents throwing the party have paid attention to some of the things that are important to you?  And how your child will have the chance to experience some parties that are not “just another keeping up with the Jones’” type party?

That is our hope.  And our wish.  We’ve seen it happen – and know many of you out there are already doing these things.  We are excited to provide you a platform through which to really get the message out there.  And get the discussion started.
