About Parenting with Tradition

The Parenting with Tradition curriculum draws on the strengths of traditional Indian parenting practices using storytelling, cradleboard, harmony, lessons of nature, behavior management, and the use of praise. It also addresses the historic impact of boarding schools, intergenerational trauma and grief, and forced assimilation of parenting; it empowers Indian families to reclaim their right to their heritage to be positive parents.

During the classes, parents and guardians will

  • explore traditional approaches to parenting,
  • gain a deeper understanding of the values and attitudes expressed in traditional child-rearing practices, and
  • learn how to apply traditional child-rearing practices to modern parenting.


Parenting with Tradition is open to ALL parents or guardians.
