Welcome! This site is for parents-to-be and parents of young children who want to do their very best each day to love, cherish and respect their child, and who want to learn and grow from their role as a parent.

I believe that in order to accomplish these tasks, parenting must be a conscious endeavor. We must be willing to examine ourselves - our background, beliefs, motivations, behaviors - and how these things affect the way we parent. We must be willing to disregard the way we were parented, and the way people say we should parent, and instead, parent the way we wish we were parented. Conscious parenting, above all, requires us to understand that every decision we make - even before conception - affects and impacts the child-soul that God (or whatever higher power you believe in) blessed you with.

This site contains insights into conscious parenting, gleaned from personal experience, meditation, and the wisdom of other soul-centered parents who have gone before me. It is my hope that, after reading the essays on this site, you will come away with new tools to help deepen your bond with your child, and new ideas to incorporate into your day-today parenting life.

If you have any thoughts about the content on this site, please feel free to leave a comment on the essays page. If you would like to ask me a question, or suggest a topic for discussion on this site, kchavener@hotmail.com.

Enjoy!
