Faire Child has a lovely blog nurturing a culture shift toward more time, more play, more exploration of the natural world. I had the honour of being asked to share my thoughts on slow living and my parenting philosophy, and although they asked for short answers I might have gone a little long. I hope you’ll visit the blog and see all the great resources Faire Child has for parents, teachers and guardians to nurture and nourish a love for the natural world.
You can link to the blog here. And you can read my interview “A couple of moments with Danielle Chassin”.
Here are some of the things they asked me about:
- What 3 words best describe your parenting philosophy?
- How have you made changes in your life to ‘live slow’ and what benefits have you seen?
- How do you try to be a more conscious and thoughtful consumer?
- This is where I talk about a concept I call ‘extended consumer responsibility’
You can also read more about Faire Child and their amazing zero waste weather clothing for children here. I’m not big on promoting consumption, but I do wholeheartedly believe in Faire Child’s mission, ethos and products. And, I only do genuine, unpaid endorsements.
