So I am now an official blogger and fairly new convert to crunchy attitudes. My daughters teach me the ways of the new world (social networking and crunchy life style and such). Early on the subject was home schooling. This was very foreign to me at first. How do you socialize a child without school? How do they learn about hard work and schedules and study? Now I know that it's all poppycock. I am glad that Aellyn (my granddaughter) won't be going to public school. She won't be worried about measuring up - or forced to cope with unreasonable expectations. That's how I felt in school. My first memory of kindergarten was of a girl deciding she didn't like me and wouldn't let me play. Aellyn's first experiences have been with Mom and other babies and moms learning age appropriate songs and play. She is happy and brave and friendly.
Nursing, attachment parenting, co'sleeping, baby led feeding, gentle discipline all are new to me having grown up in the 50's - but I am on board. My 50's childhood was very wonderful but I want even more for my family now. So crunch on all you crunchy moms and dads, crunch on.
I think my next post will be about my first experience with co-sleeping.
Awesome mom. I knew you'd have a unique and important voice to add to the discussion about natural parenting. You prove that old paradigms can and should be thrown out and change (even if it seems weird at first) should be embraced!
ReplyDeleteSo proud to have a mom that supports me instead of tears me down as I hear so many moms do. You rock Crunchy Grandma!
