I hadn&#8217;t composed an inclusive understanding of the entire concept I seem to house in my mind concerning children, childhood, and parenting them as a whole before. \u00a0I haven&#8217;t been able to wholly align myself with any of the aforementioned &#8220;styles&#8221;. \u00a0So, maybe this angle will suit me better.<\/p>\n<p>The entire point of me creating this blog is to learn, to expand, to share, and to reach out to those needing encouragement along the way. \u00a0However, the content found at sentientparenting.com isn&#8217;t exactly what I had in mind&#8230; I guess maybe my take on this is mine after all.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Sentient &amp; Authentic Parenting is, to me, sharing my life as an equal partner with my child, while she shares her childhood with me. \u00a0Choosing awareness and observation over control, manipulation, and coercion. \u00a0Intentionally respecting her just as she is, equally to any adult of whom I respect and admire deeply. And making sure she sees me, raw and genuine, real and vulnerable, learning and growing in wisdom through imperfection and resilience. I&#8217;m here for her now, until she takes flight, as a guide, a comfort, a mama. One day, not so very far off, I hope she will choose me as her friend.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">And, just in case you need a few other words\/concepts to choose from:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Main Entry: cognizant<br \/>\nDefinition: aware<br \/>\nSynonyms:<br \/>\nacquainted, alive, awake, conscious, informed, judicious, knowing, knowledgeable, observant, perceptive<br \/>\nAntonyms: ignorant, unaware, unfamiliar, uninformed, unknowledgeable, unwitting<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Main Entry: conscious<br \/>\nDefinition: alert, awake<br \/>\nSynonyms: able to recognize, acquainted, assured, attentive, aware, certain, cognizant, discerning, informed, keen, knowing, known, mindful, noticing, noting, observing, perceiving, percipient, recognizing, remarking, responsive, seeing, sensible, sensitive to, sentient , supraliminal, sure, understanding, vigilant, watchful,<br \/>\nAntonyms: ignorant, impassive, indifferent, senseless, unaware, unconscious, unmindful, unresponsive<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\">Main Entry: responsive<br \/>\nDefinition: quick to react<br \/>\nSynonyms: <strong>acknowledging<\/strong>, active, answering, awake, aware, <strong>compassionate<\/strong>, <strong>conscious<\/strong>, forthcoming, <strong>impressionable<\/strong>, influenceable, <strong>kindhearted<\/strong>, <strong>open<\/strong>, passionate, <strong>perceptive<\/strong>, <strong>persuadable<\/strong>, reactive, receptive, replying, respondent, sensible, sensile, sensitive, sentient , sharp, softhearted, susceptible, susceptive, sympathetic, <strong>tender, warm<\/strong>, warmhearted<br \/>\nAntonyms: insensitive, unresponsive, unsusceptible<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right; padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Roget&#8217;s 21st Century Thesaurus, Third Edition<\/em><\/h6>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Ok then&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authentic Parenting Aware Parenting Attachment Parenting Love &amp; Logic Child Training Helicopter, Gender Neutral, Unparenting, Tough Love, Teacup, Baby-wise, Conditional, Unconditional, and even, Hypnosis Parenting (yep, it exists).
