Parents are tired, overwhelmed, and unsupported. The last few years of the pandemic have exacerbated the situation, especially for the primary parent (usually moms).

Enter C+ Parenting, a name we totally made up to describe a more relaxed style of parenting, that allows parents to take a breath, enjoy our lives, and let kids of all ages develop more independence. If you’re an A+ mom and loving it, do you.

What is C+ Parenting?

It’s similar to Slow Parenting, but more emphatically centers your own needs and preferences as a parent. The name is inspired by the pressure we all feel to be A+ moms. A+ moms are all over social media. They're the influencers with the perfect look and who somehow have the time to interior design while curating elaborate activities for their kids. They tell you “it’s so easy”, but we all know it’s not. 

A+ Instagram moms have set an impossible standard for the rest of us. So, what’s the alternative?

The alternative is C+ Parenting, where you only put focused effort into a few areas and accept a D or even an F in other areas of parenting. Instead of trying to do it all, you choose to do SOME, not all. Then you do the bare minimum for everything else.
