Love this, Alisha. I came from a very similar parenting beginning and have walked a lot of the same journey. Now that my oldest is nearly 18 (yikes!) I'm so glad for the shift. What you said about approaching conversations from a place of curiosity is so huge. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Alisha, this is so important. As Americans we are especially prone to see our children as blank slates, an idea that came out of the enlightenment. As over quoted as it might be, Charlotte Mason was right when she said that children are born persons. And this is something to be celebrated!

Thanks for sharing, Autumn! I’m really proud of the brave shifts parents in our generation are taking ❤️
