Motherhood unleashes a primitive instinct in a woman more profound than any other change that she will undergo in her life. Protecting your young is the name of the game. From birthing style, to circumcision, to neighborhood you buy a house in, to car you drive, car seat you buy, childcare provider you choose, vacation you do or do not go on, everything you decide is based first on whether it would be good for your children. That simple fact puts things into perspective and puts your life on a very specific track: seeing your children flourish.
These truths are what connect all Mothers. It is our differences, however that I want us to share. I am driven to stir up conversation and conscious thought about parenting in a very progressive and creative way. We are parenting a generation of people that have a very challenging world to face. Our children are as innocent as any child has ever been, and yet the world they are faced with has corruption sweeping to the furthest reaches. How can we pluck from this world, the opportunities to truly connect in a meaningful and lasting way with our young? We must think about what grabs the attention of our little individuals and use it to communicate with them.
In these posts, I want to share my ideas and to hear others' ideas, in hopes that we can have an uplifting and affirming experience. Share your wisdom! Share your fears! Just share!
