Our vision is a world in which all children are treated with dignity, respect, understanding, and compassion. In such a world, every child can grow into adulthood with a generous capacity for love and trust. Our vision includes creating an atmosphere where parents enjoy being parents and children enjoy being children. We seek to teach parents to be gentle with themselves as parents. We seek to cre
ate communities of gentle parenting families to develop a global village to raise our children. Our mission is creating global villages based on The Art of Gentle Parenting (AGP). The Art of Gentle Parenting provides an understanding of the pressures children endure from birth to about age five. AGP can be called positive parenting, peaceful parenting, or authentic parenting. AGP is about parenting from a place of mutual respect that by its nature spills over into the practice of gentle discipline. We promote the realization that it's not that easy to be a kid. Children are expected to learn so much so quickly. They must learn how to walk, and talk, know right from wrong, how to tie their shoes, put their clothes on, brush their teeth, and more all before they attend school. We educate parents to be kids, to remember what it was like being a child. When parents accept their childhood as part of their life history rather than finding fault with their own parents, they can open their minds to new and gentle ways to be with their children now. We offer communities tips, and workshops to build their own village based on AGP.
