Teaching you, to teach them.

I’m Stephanie Kennedy. A Canadian mom of 4 children ranging in age from 15-22 years old. My dream is to bring together a community of parents who don’t do it all! As a retired high school teacher, a professional coach of youth sports, and a parent, I believe that you can’t do it all (well at least not without losing your sanity). I will share the many hacks/tricks/tips to raise independent, happy, loving, and empathetic children.

Nowhere has it been said that TRUE lazy parenting is easy! It often means taking the harder, longer, more difficult (in the moment) way...but TRUST ME, it is worth it. When all of your children are getting themselves up and dressed in the morning, making their own lunches, emptying the dishwasher, feeding the pets, doing their own laundry, AND making dinner....all without rolled eyes, delay tactics, and huffing and puffing.

No-this is not a dream...it can be YOUR REALITY. I can’t wait to join you on your journey.

2. Parenting without yelling, is it even a thing?

Lazy parents are slackers, right? They're the ones who don't parent their children and let them run wild, right? They're the ones whose kids cause YOUR kids so much trouble, right?

Wrong!

Lazy parenting is actually a purposeful & intentional way to parent that is grounded in the importance of building a strong relationship between the parent and the child. At its core, it is a methodology that centers on the idea that we must teach our children how to take care of themselves and be independent.
