Welcome! I am delighted that you are considering the option to raise a Child of AWE! Congratulations!! It takes courage to seek something different, and I am proud of you for taking this first step on your journey. Bravo!

This path isn’t the easiest, for sure. It does require a lot of commitment from you, the parent. But it is the most rewarding. I can vouch for that. It may take a lot of effort initially to raise your kids unconventionally (or the old-fashioned way) - sans devices and back-to-back scheduled activities. But once the rhythm gets going, you’ll be astonished at how incredibly easy and enjoyable parenting can be!

Parenting is a touchy topic, and parenting without screens is even more so. For years, I debated sharing my observations and views with others. After all, every family is different, and so are their circumstances. Additionally, I am not an expert on the topic, and I do not hold any relevant credentials. My biggest accomplishment as a parent may be that my kids haven’t uttered the dreaded word ‘bored’ once in 13 years! (They are 13 and 7 years old.)

Given how rare that is in this century, where kids are unable to stay 5 minutes without stimulation, I thought maybe I was onto something.

Perhaps sharing what I have learned may help at least one person, such as the parent who is tired of the norm and wonders if there is a different, better way. Perhaps it will offer some guidance, resources, or confirmation to the parent whose heart has brought her here.

Perhaps, just perhaps, it will inspire a movement to reclaim childhood, its soul-smiling innocence, and the innate sense of awe and wonder that every child is born with, but which is sadly being lost alarmingly fast today.

Whatever the reason you chose to explore this tiny part of the internet, I hope that some part of it speaks to you, inspires you, uplifts you, encourages you, and supports you.

Thank you for stopping by. Welcome to the world of AWE.
