Check out the July/August issue of Mothering Magazine for an article of mine on allowing risk. It’s a fine line for parents and one that is sometimes hard to walk. And even harder sometimes to defend when others are there to watch and comment.
And I love the photo of our giant steel slide – from hereonin referred to as our “monument to risk”. How could you not want to read about that?
Our new friend Jim Swift of KXAN, the Austin NBC affiliate, created a beautiful news piece on Slow Family Living. Click here to see the clip and read the story.
There is definitely not a Slow Family stance on vaccines because we really believe families need to do what is right for them. We know however that it is a discussion that presents itself always when parents get together and discuss the health and well being of their children. And a dialogue that can often get heated as families decide what is right for their children and what is right for the community at large. It is a decision that often makes parents feel confused as to what to do.
We just received an announcement from the producers of Frontline that their show The Vaccine Wars will be aired next Tuesday on PBS. Check out the preview and then participate in the dialogue on the Frontline website. It’s a heavy topic and will only get heavier if we’re not informed.
ABC news has a story tonight about Slow Family Living. They talk about the connection, the checking in with yourself, and of course, the slowing down. Check it out. And then tell us, what does Slow Family Living mean to you?
That’s the topic of On Point Radio today featuring our own Carrie Contey. And she is, without a doubt, on point for Slow Family Living!!! If you have 45 minutes, go ahead and have a listen whilst you make that Thanksgiving pie.
Check out the interview I did with Jennifer Hill Robenalt for her Blog Talk Radio show Soul Lab. Jennifer is a writer, mother, publicist, blogger, spiritual seeker and all around fabulous woman. During our time together we explored the link between parenting and spirituality. Good stuff.
We are excited and proud to announce that Carrie will be representing Slow Family Living on the Today Show Thursday, May 28th. She will be appearing on a segment about Slow Parenting during the Fourth Hour with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb which is on from 10-11am EDT.
Tell your friends! Tune in! Tell more friends!
And if you miss it, check back on our site. We’ll be posting the clip.
