My philosophy on parenting is...

"to meet the child where they're at and help them contribute based on their enthusiasm and capability. I've been inspired by mothers all over the world who understand that capacity changes with age and that responsibility and joy enhance each other. I see myself as a guide to becoming their true selves so that they can contribute to this world and society as only they can." - Ronda

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"I consider myself to be religious and spiritual. My Christian faith underlies my values. I'm not perfect, but I try to do what is right and treat others how I want to be treated. While I plan to raise a child in the Christian faith, I believe it is important to give kids the opportunity to learn about other religions so that they can decide their beliefs and appreciate the beauty of all faiths that are rooted in love." - Lauren
