This week, we’re talking about the theme of the month in the Neighborhood—independent play!—and why explaining our family’s choices to others is easy for some Parenting Perspectives and harder for others.


The Neighborhood is a private online community for parents of spirited kids ages 2-7, where you'll learn positive parenting strategies for challenging behaviors like getting kids to listen and play independently, while connecting with other parents in the same stage as you. The Neighborhood is already full of AH-MAZING parents who've had this to say about the experience: "Evie and Sarah have built a community where we all feel empowered to be our true selves, and do not have to apologize or feel guilty for that!" You can learn more about the Neighborhood at community.evieandsarah.com.
