hello!
This blog came about when, in searching for parenting advice or answers to questions, we discovered that much of the information we were finding was often narrowed down to one specific opinion. And that many of those opinions were portrayed as the perfect methodology, which if not followed or agreed with meant that you were simply doing it wrong. We soon became frustrated with all the rigid, and often opposing, information we were seeing and noticed that the term “a healthy balance” started popping up in our conversations about parenting. Before too long it became a near certainty that after discussing our research on a parenting topic, one or both of us would say “I think we just need a healthy balance of each.” So that is what we did, and continue to, try and do. When faced with a question or problem, as we often are, we gather what information we can and work together to find a healthy balanced solution. We believe that this has helped us better define what parenting means to us and has given us direction for trying to be the best parents we can be for our kids.
what if…
- Parents supported each other through the journey of parenthood
- we could discuss different parenting philosophies without passing judgment
- laugh and cry with one another in a safe space
- feel free to parent the way that is best for our child without having to justify our choice
that’s why we created Healthy Balance Parenting
To Help Parents Just Like Us!
Healthy balance parenting is meant to be our way of sharing the parenting styles that have worked, and not worked, for us so far and the strategies we continually use to try and find a healthy balance of all the seemingly endless parenting advice, opinions, and methods in today’s world.
We feel that the parenting community has become more intent on setting unattainable standards, and unrealistic expectations. Along with disdaining any honest open dialog and mutual understanding. How great would it be if more parents were intent on working together and supporting each other instead of constantly trying to portray a façade of perfection and demoralize everyone else. Let’s laugh at the crazy, beautiful, stressful, and most amazing journey that parenthood is.
That’s what we intend to do, we are going to be real about all the ups as well as all of the downs. Share philosophies we have about parenting and things we have learned. Our hope is to help others to know that they are not alone and provide the information that is too often left out when people talk about pregnancy, parenthood, and all that comes with it. Parenting is a never-ending cycle of feeling like you’ve got it and you’re doing great and then all of a sudden feeling like you know absolutely nothing and you’re doing everything wrong. Join us as we talk about our journey in parenthood and hopefully provide some helpful resources for other parents along their journey.
