Secular Parenting
Hello! If you’ve found yourself here after searching for “secular parenting” on google, I’d like to apologize for the state of this page right now. For the last year or so I’ve been filing anything I’ve written or found on tumblr that was related to secular parenting AND every conversation with my son in this spot, so now it’s a bit of a jumbled, unorganized mess.
I’ll be cleaning up and organizing for the next couple of weeks, but for now - enjoy! And if you have questions or comments or recommendations, please click the “Ask Me Anything” link - I’d love to hear from you! ~JJ

I'm JJ. Female. If you hang out with me you'll get thoughts on atheism, secular parenting, ethics, feminism and politics (liberal, pro-choice) and occasionally excerpts from conversations with my 8-year-old son (there's a link below for most of the conversations and parenting posts). I don't accept anonymous asks, but if you request a private response, I will oblige. Also, because I get asked a lot, my url comes from the phrase "Teach children HOW to think, not WHAT to think." That's my parenting philosophy in a nutshell.
