The philosophy of Aware Parenting

 

Click here for a two-page printable summary of the philosophy of Aware Parenting.

Aware Parenting is a philosophy of child rearing that has the potential to change the world. Based on current research in child development, Aware Parenting questions most traditional assumptions about raising children and proposes a new approach that can significantly improve relationships within a family. Parents who follow this approach raise children who are cooperative, compassionate, competent, nonviolent, and drug free.

Aware Parenting is based on the work of Aletha Solter, Ph.D., a Swiss American developmental psychologist, international speaker, consultant, and author of five books. She is recognized internationally as an expert on attachment, trauma, non-punitive discipline, and developmentally appropriate education.
