Hello Modern Parents!
We haven’t been in touch for a while, but it’s good to be back! Wherever you are in the world, we hope you’re well and staying safe. Our Modern Parent publication has been very active, and many of you continue to submit stories about your daily lives and experiences (reply to learn more if you need help!).
Meanwhile, at Modern Parent HQ, we’ve spent the last few months re-inventing how Modern Parent can continue supporting you. Take a walk with us…
Our mission is to do two things: celebrate and support those who are raising the next generation. This, of course, means celebrating and supporting parents. But parents, as we traditionally define them, are not the only ones supporting the next generation. Sometimes it’s our grandparents, relatives, teachers and so on. So just know when we say parent, we mean anyone who’s helping shape our youth.
Anecdotes and data show that parents largely feel underappreciated and undersupported. And that’s not good for parents or kids. If we can help parents feel more supported and appreciated, they’ll be happier. And if parents are happier, they’ll likely be better parents, which naturally leads to better outcomes for children.
This is why Modern Parent exists. To celebrate and support you.
How do we at Modern Parent plan on doing this? We’re (re)starting with this newsletter, and there are a few things we’re planning on doing with it.
In the spirit of celebrating and supporting parents, below you’ll find what to expect in our weekly newsletter:
On the celebrating front:
Modern Parent Stories of the Week: We’ll highlight some of our community’s best stories each week.
“Modern Parent” of the Week: Is there a parent you’d like to nominate for doing something exceptional? We’d love to honor and celebrate their actions and efforts. Submit your nomination by clicking the button below:
But wait, there’s more. Introducing… the Modern Parent Council
The Modern Parent Council will be a select group of qualified parents that we’ll be working with and actively consulting. In future newsletters, the Modern Parent Council will be reviewing and recommending the best resources for parents, whether they be innovative products, the newest services, or the best new books for our Book Club.
And we’ll be holding giveaways of these products in this newsletter that you’re reading right now! Stay tuned.
Are you interested in learning more about Modern Parent Council and becoming a member? An application process will be coming shortly, but please email rebecca@modernparent.io to display your interest.
Thank you for reading! As always, please always feel free to reply to us with your questions, parenting experiences, or if you just want to chat.
See you next week!
Dear Modern Parent team, Great news. Keep up the good work! Best, Kristina (God)
