Parenting Philosophy: Don’t be a dick. One parenting philosophy that I live by is that we are all geeky about something; it just falls in to different categories. It all falls under passion, and I am the type of mother that likes to encourage my children to follow those passions and to nurture them. We all have the right to be creative in our own ways.
