Raising kids can be one of the most rewarding and the most challenging things you do in life. When I first became a parent, I found myself swimming in information about things like what to look for in a car seat or stroller, how to swaddle a baby, how to get a baby to sleep, types of poo to look for, cradle cap, skin infections, teething, potty training, how to prepare all sorts of solid foods, and an never-ending list of things I should know but definitely don’t have time to learn about. But when it came to what to do after you get past all the practical things, I found very little information.

BUT WHEN IT CAME TO THE IMPORTANT THINGS ….
How do you teach compassion? How do you share your values? How do you help them understand the benefit of rules and boundaries? When it came to the important things of life that go well beyond the first few years and influence your child’s character, values, and sense of identity … well …. I found good information to be difficult to find.

A PLACE FOR YOU
Raising Kids on Fun is a place where conscientious parents, family members, and teachers can find a community who care about teaching the most important things of life in a way that creatively engages their child in FUN!!  We believe that many lessons are learned through discipline, failures and great challenges that occur in all of our lives; but we also believe that creative parents can create numerous opportunities to teach these important life lessons in a way that really is fun for everyone.

I’ve heard it said that the job of every parent is to help their kids to grow up, but helping our kids grow up has helped us grow up too.

… helping our kids grow up has helped us grow up too.

I know that we all have great stories to tell. What’s one tough “lesson” you’ve had to teach your kids? Share your story with us.
