31. Conscious Parenting as an Act of Resistance

Parenting Decolonized

Let’s talk about mainstream parenting and conscious parenting.
Here is some truth to chew on...mainstream parenting is brutal and harmful and we are all tired.
Conscious parenting, on the other hand, is a long and tedious journey but it is worth the sacrifice.
The conscious parenting journey is two-fold, and before we can excel in conscious parenting, we must strip off the negativity of our cultural backgrounds and all the social injustices we’ve internalized. We are in a constant battle of mind over matter, and we have to stay in the fight and win for the sake of our children. We must allow ourselves to go through the process of creating new patterns in our minds and neuro systems. It is an internal work that impacts on our children and the world at large. This journey is predicated on focused resistance.
