Life with kids is hectic, frantic even. There are playdates, practices, school functions, music lessons. The average family calendar is overflowing with commitments. Even downtime at home can feel fast paced with the constant flow of information and entertainment options available today. But being run ragged isn’t the only option. A solution? Slow things down a bit.

Slow parenting is a direct response to the more more more trap of modern parenting. It eliminates the idea that kids should be afforded every good opportunity. Instead, it abides by the notion that they should be given meaningful experiences they have time and energy to process. Importantly, it stresses that parents shouldn’t give kids so much to do that they lack sufficient free time to explore their interests and the world around them. This lets kids discover themselves, recuperate between organized activities, and have downtime to bond with family members. It certainly has its appeal.
