Discovered parenting page; became revolted

Conscious Parenting — Parenting Your Children With Love and Authenticity

I ran across this page because the author recently began following me on Twitter.

She says a lot of vague, friendly things about parenting through the veneer of being hippy dippy. There's even a misused phrase in the first sentence of the only entry. It's a very hippie thing to do, to not care about typos. Indeed, hippies tend to disregard little annoying mistakes in their very selves (little annoying tweaks in their personalities) that drive friends and family crazy. They also tend to keep their heads in the clouds about it.

Every time I read the word conscious here, I think couscous.

Let me get to her actual thoughts instead of my immature reaction to the page's design.

But first, it's not pink. Thank god. No pink anywhere.

There are, however, typos everywhere. She misuses common words and phrases frequently.

Okay. She's doing this thing that Ayn Rand did, but to a much smaller degree. She's taking her own idea and assigning it to all human beings. People don't have a 'natural state.' People just exist.

People are all different. Not everyone naturally wants to be a good parent, or has it in them, and even less are willing to be called a Soul Keeper.

But seriously, Soul Keeper, if you want to sell your messege, use proper grammar. Type in a language people are used to reading. You can't reinvent the wheel until people prescribe to your ideas.

In the last graf she mentions herself in the third person, and then tries to sell you on what seems like a series of classes, or maybe a way of life. She calls it a 'perspective.' Let me just quote her:

With over ten years of experience helping adults to empower themselves and create the lives they prefer and having been a successful elementary school teacher for five years, Kalyn B Raphael offers a wonderful perspective on parenting which will help you be the Conscious Parent you always wanted to be while helping you have the well-behaved, happy child that you wish to raise.

If you're gonna say you have a lot to offer, offer more than one blog entry! She seems full of herself, enough to refer to herself in ... ugh... 3rd person. Rand can do that. Not Soul Keeper.

D-
