There are so many parenting styles out there. I truly believe there is not a one size fits all parenting style. Each parent and child are unique and that’s the beauty of it. My husband and I have tried many different styles and natural parenting seemed to be the best fit for us since we already aim to live a natural minded lifestyle. I think there are huge benefits of raising a family this way. We certainly aren’t perfect at it but trial and error are what helps us figure out what works best. For our children we do our best to raise them as toxin free as possible. From their lotions, bath products, sunscreens to the foods they eat. We also choose not to use harsh chemicals in the home and use eco-friendly detergents, cleaning products and more so they are less likely to be exposed. We use little to no plastic and use glass or cloth in place of disposable household items. Our children are raised to have an eco-friendly mindset. Children with a natural upbringing are more likely to benefit from this in so many ways, strong immune systems, care for their environment and their own health and wellness. We have decided to live this way due to allergies, sensitivities and asthma that has been well controlled with this lifestyle change. People say we are living a radical lifestyle but for us as a family we are confident in our decision to do this. Try it out for your own family and see how it may benefit you as well. Taking small steps in this direction is how we started, it certainly wasn’t an over night change for us.
