My philosophy on parenting is...

"My philosopy on parenting centers around love and logic and of course staying flexible, because as the child grows their personality will shift and evolve and we'll need to ensure we support them on their journey. Love and logic really focuses on loving the child no matter what the circumstance, and helping them grow and make their own decisions based on logic and teaching them their choices have outcomes, whether those be positive or negative. this really helps the child develop critical thinking and shows that you are supporting them rather than telling them who they should be or what they should do. Love, support, structure, and education is the foundation I believe in, to provide the child the best possible options as they grow up." - Jonathan
