Comments on: Is Parenting an Art or a Science? http://www.phdinparenting.com/2008/05/26/is-parenting-an-art-or-a-science/ ...exploring the art and science of parenting Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:24:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Marilyn Price-Mitchell http://www.phdinparenting.com/2008/05/26/is-parenting-an-art-or-a-science/#comment-141150 Marilyn Price-Mitchell Sun, 03 Jul 2011 03:28:22 +0000 http://phdinparenting.wordpress.com/?p=4#comment-141150 I discovered your fantastic website today quite by accident. And I've been engrossed in it for awhile now! I wanted to commend you on the research, thought, and deep reflection that goes into what you write here. What you have said about the art and science of parenting is a perfect way of communicating the mix of skills, abilities, and intuition that go into raising kids. And I so agree that it is the "art" that takes the work and experimentation as no child is the same as another. Thanks for your contributions. You are clearly making a difference in the world!

Great post – very clear and concise. This is a very helpful way to frame the complexities we face as conscious 21st century parents. Love the site and your writing. Looking forward to exploring more. Thanks for helping to elevate the discussion. Blessings I couldn’t agree with you more. Great post – very clear and concise.

Somedays, when I have 30 seconds to myself I think about the philosophy of parenting. I'm a nurse and in one of my MSc courses we discussed (at length) the theoretical basis of nursing & whether it's an art or a science. I thought parenting fit in with this perfectly too! I agree that it's an art & a science. I think I have a half written blog post written on it - you've inspired me to go finish it. I've only been on your site for about 5 min & I'm already in love with this blog. Awesome awesome awesome. Oh my! Somedays, when I have 30 seconds to myself I think about the philosophy of parenting.

I don’t get offended if I read somewhere about a different way of doing things that is perhaps better than what I did. I don’t feel the need to justify over and over again why I did what I did or why I just couldn’t do it differently. Instead I plan for tomorrow. I read. I read scientific articles and studies highlighting the most recent research on the science of parenting. I read blogs of like minded bloggers looking for inspiration and new ways of doing things that are in line with my parenting philosophy. I read blogs of people who parent differently than I do, to attempt to understand their point of view, although more often it strengthens my resolve to do things the way that I do. Here on my blog, I share some of the things I read. I share the things that interested me and that inspired me to be a better parent. I share my thoughts on the art and science of parenting.
