Part memoir, part manifesto, blogger Design Mom Gabrielle Blair and her husband, educator Ben Blair - parents of six children aged 12-25 - offer an unexpected parenting guide that encourages parents to let go of old expectations about what it means to be a "good parent" and instead embrace adventure and uncertainty (for their own well-being and that of their children). In the journey of raising six children, Gabrielle and Ben Blair have forged a unique path: working from home before remote work was mainstream and having moved their children multiple times, including a relocation to France, where their children were enrolled in local schools without knowing the language. This unique parenting path is characterized by experimentation, trial and error, decisions driven by economic or psychological necessities, fluctuations of anxiety and tension, despair and hope. This unique journey proved to be fertile ground for the development of independent, resilient, and creative children, and for a family that is truly close-knit and enjoys each other's company. With this book, they share how they did it, and how we can do it too: letting go of old expectations of what it means to be good parents (focus less on grades and more on seeing your child for who they are); accepting that old rules won’t necessarily apply in the future (changes in higher education and career building are rapidly evolving) and instead focusing on making time with our children an experience of connection, adventure, shared projects, creativity, and joy. And no move to France is required! Instead, it's about creating a family life that embraces change and uncertainty instead of running from them. Anticipating that difficult things will happen - it’s life, after all - the goal is never perfection, but resilient children and a family bond that can bend but not break.
