I Am Creative with Hollis Citron

Lets Hear It From A Dads Perspective

This  panel discussion of the year and it was enlightening.
 
Love this quote, " Vulnerability is lacking now a days in our society". 
 
I personally don't think Dad's get to express themselves enough and it was great scratching the surface of many topics.
Would love to hear your takeaways
 
There is no manual on parenting. We call this space the art of parenting your own way. Here we will be talking with Dads and hearing their take. I don’t think Dads are heard enough.
 
We will be exploring if they always wanted to be a father, if they parent like their father and so much more.
Let’s see where the conversation goes. We would love for you to be a part of it.

Whether you have one kid or twelve, not one is the same. They do not come with directions or a rule book to follow. Oh the journey we are on and we are so happy to be sharing it with you. In January 2023 we will be launching our space with articles on topics from birth to empty nesters, forums and so much more. We want to keep you in the loop so you can join our community and know that we have your back! Sincerely yours, Hollis & Keocha

Holiday Time & What Does It Mean For Your Family

SO much covered here.
 
New traditions, experiences, grief and loss structure and flexibility.
 
Love this quote from the discussion " Permission to say NO". 
 
During this time of year and everyday it is about protecting your energy and having the permission to say this quote below to allow more joy in your life.
 
There is no manual to be being a parent. The child does not come with directions. These topics explore and take a deep dive to start conversations that will spark new topics to create new topics, it is only the beginning.
 
The holidays hold a lot of meaning, emotions, traditions, joy, excitement, stress for individuals and families. As parents we are learning and navigating our way through this thing called ”parenting” and we often take our stories along with us or make a concerted effort to make it different as we become moms and dads.
