Teaching you, to teach them.
I’m Stephanie Kennedy. A Canadian mom of 4 children ranging in age from 15-22 years old. My dream is to bring together a community of parents who don’t do it all! As a retired high school teacher, a professional coach of youth sports, and a parent, I believe that you can’t do it all (well at least not without losing your sanity). I will share the many hacks/tricks/tips to raise independent, happy, loving, and empathetic children.
Nowhere has it been said that TRUE lazy parenting is easy! It often means taking the harder, longer, more difficult (in the moment) way...but TRUST ME, it is worth it. When all of your children are getting themselves up and dressed in the morning, making their own lunches, emptying the dishwasher, feeding the pets, doing their own laundry, AND making dinner....all without rolled eyes, delay tactics, and huffing and puffing.
No-this is not a dream...it can be YOUR REALITY. I can’t wait to join you on your journey.
Raising readers takes work - there is nothing LAZY about it! But if you want to BE a lazy parent, and have some free time NOT entertaining your kids all the time…put the work in to make them readers! And, it will make them more knowledgable, more worldly and more thoughtful about what is going on around them! I share 5 tips in this post!
