Hi Everyone!

My name is Christina, and I created this blog because I truly believe in positive parenting and uplifting kids instead of bringing them down with strict discipline and rules.

Now listen, when I say I believe in positive parenting, I don’t mean to imply that I think I’m the perfect parent or anything. We ALL have our days. Some days I freak out on my kids and lose my temper. And sometimes they freak out on me. I think it’s completely normal to have those things happen. We’re only human, after all. :) We all have conflicts. But even those conflicts can be a positive thing when you turn them around and use them to make your family bond stronger and more fulfilling.

And that’s really what this blog is all about. I don’t think kids are *just* kids. They are individuals with their own preferences and their own thoughts and their own dreams and goals and imaginations. My dream is to be happy, to see my kids (and others’ kids) as happy and allow them to be who they are while I allow myself to be who I am.

I see my kids as my absolute greatest teachers in this life. Partly because they are having so much darn fun and I feel that we should all have that too! And partly because I believe that they came to this earth remembering more than I do. I really listen to what they have to say. And let me tell you, my 4.5 year old son has already told me some incredible things.

In a nutshell, positive parenting, to me, is not about me telling my kids what I know and what they should or shouldn’t do in life. It’s about me giving them my input from my point of view, and about them giving me their input from their point of view. Both inputs are equally as important.

Well, I hope you’ll stick around for more positive parenting thoughts, ideas and news. And in the meantime, please also enjoy my parenting store!

Much happiness and fun to you and your family.

Christina P. :)
