Parenting Wisdom

Parent holding child's hand- parenting wisdom- Fairfield County Mom

In a perfect world, parenting would have a guide for every situation. So, without a parenting handbook, what’s a parent to do? Welcome to Fairfield County Mom! Our team consists of over 30 contributors with diverse backgrounds and family dynamics, sharing a wealth of experiences and parenting wisdom.

Parenting wisdom is often gained through experience, but it can also be shared. At Fairfield County Mom, we value the uniqueness of every child. Qualities like patience, empathy, and active listening are crucial for parents, along with setting boundaries and routines. Perfect parenting is a myth; it’s the simple, everyday moments that truly matter. Parenting wisdom lies in adapting and growing alongside your child, guiding them with love and resilience through each development stage. This wisdom shapes the child’s journey and enriches the parent’s path.

Fairfield County Mom provides parenting wisdom for all stages of motherhood, sharing tales of daily life and the joys and challenges of motherhood. We talk about the household and how to budgeting can help your marriage. We offer advice on bedtime routines and sibling room sharing tips. We also tackle difficult topics like helping children cope with grief and advice for navigating divorce.

When you’re expecting your second, third, fourth (or more) child, there is another thing you can expect: LOTS of questions from your older kids. How does the baby get in your belly? How big is it going to get?...
Fall is probably my favorite season…don’t tell summer. I just can’t help myself when it comes to crisp cool mornings, delicious pumpkin spice everything, football games, scarves, soft Patagonia vests, brown boots and more. One of our favorite autumn...

Towards the end of my pregnancy I was put on modified bed rest and had to leave work two weeks earlier than planned. To everyone around me, this was glorious permission to ride out the rest of pregnancy with...
Like all moms I love my children to death. But having said that, there are so many things I wish I hadn't taken for granted before I had my kids. The list could gone on and on, but since I...
