To ensure a positive and enriching experience for everyone, we've established these guidelines to reflect our shared commitment to mutual respect, open communication, and creating a supportive environment for all members.
Gentle Parenting: We all trust in the process of natural learning and choose gentle parenting practices. Our family strives to utilize these practices, particularly in group settings.
Age Appropriate: Everyone has different family values and expectations. At group events, please ensure that your communication is sensitive to this expectation and kept age appropriate. When in doubt, ask!
Active Parenting: When you are in the group, you are expected to guide your child(ren) to ensure they are speaking and behaving in respectful ways to build their awareness of community. We recognize that we are all here to learn together and if you have questions, there are many members who are here to discuss strategies. Bullying, harassment, and other inappropriate conduct will not be tolerated. If you have an issue in the group, please reach out to an administrator.
Respect everyone's privacy: Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. What's shared in the group should stay in the group.
Be kind and courteous: We're all in this together to create a Welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required.
No hate speech or bullying: Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.
No promotions or spam: Give more than you take in this group. Self-promotion, spam and irrelevant links aren't allowed in any of our online or in-person platforms.
This page serves as a guiding resource and may be updated periodically to reflect the evolving needs of our community. Your commitment to these principles is appreciated in maintaining a positive group environment!
