We believe great parents are made, not born. We believe parenting is as challenging as it is joyous. We believe sippy cups might just be a necessary evil. We believe parenting has the steepest learning curve of any job. We believe in piggy backs, peekaboo and pillow fights. We believe in being afraid of the witching hour. We believe sometimes kids teach us more about ourselves than we wish to know. We believe good parents make the best friends. We believe sharing is hard whether you’re two or sixty two. We believe authentic connection with kids is a panacea for what ails them. We believe people are the best toys for kids. We believe oxytocin is better than heroin. We believe in naps. We believe in being skeptical of quick fixes. We believe in trusting your instincts but stocking your bookshelf. We believe in holding the line. We believe in saying Yes. We believe in letting girls be boys and boys be girls. We believe in hard science. We believe in parenting with a long-term plan. We believe in the well timed snack. We believe good parenting has powerful ripple effects.
Most of all, we believe in bringing a variety of proven, progressive parenting tools together in one place. We are parents, writers and educators who are passionate about helping parents (including ourselves) to create the best little people possible.
