Parenting Is Human • Parents Are Human

140 reflections for parents at any stage, on what you inherited, what you believe, and what you need. Co-created with love by real parents.

Parenting Is Human is a deck for becoming the parent you want to be.

For parents at any stage, from newborns to grown kids, this deck holds 140 prompts that help you:

Look at what you inherited and decide what you want to carry on
See where your days reflect what you believe
Say what you need, out loud, to someone who can help

There's no shortage of parenting advice. What is usually missing is space to think about who you want to be. Parenting asks you to make the call constantly: hold the line or let it go, step in or stay out. Fast, on instinct, usually shaped by how you were raised. These cards slow that cycle down.

This one works differently from the other decks. Most of it's yours alone, for a walk, the car before you go inside, or after the house is quiet. The twenty Together activities are the exception, and you do those when you aren't rushed. There's also a card on what to do when a card stings, because some of them will bring up things you aren't proud of.

It takes a village to raise a child. Understand the one that shaped you, and build the one you need.
