About Us
Our Story
Hello! I'm Chantell, a proud AuDHD solo parent of four wonderful kids who are also AuDHD. I'm really into tech and have lots of cool hobbies that I love to share with my community.
For two decades, I played important roles in the cyber security world. When I became a solo parent, I decided it was time to leave my job and focus on spending quality time with my kiddos full-time.
Since then, we've made amazing progress and discovered so many alternative solutions that we've brought into our family, leading to wonderfully positive changes in our relationships.
Since 2020, I've been helping families strengthen their bonds, sharing insights about parenting neurodivergent children, and championing a more inclusive world.
Our Values
I know Parenting can be quite a journey, and when you're raising neurodivergent kids, it can feel even more challenging. That’s where graceful parenting steps in, offering a path sprinkled with grace, understanding, and a touch of spiritual growth.
Grace and love are at the heart of what we believe. It’s all about unconditional love, selfless compassion, and kindness, not something we have to earn, but something that's given freely.
In parenting, this means showering our children with love and kindness, even when they make mistakes. It’s about recognizing their potential and guiding them gently, rather than focusing only on punishment.
A law-based approach is all about rules and consequences. But with grace, the focus shifts to understanding and building relationships. Instead of reacting to misbehavior with strict penalties, we look at what’s really going on and address those issues with compassion.
This doesn’t mean there are no boundaries – it means setting those boundaries with love and clearly explaining them, so children understand the ‘why’ behind them.
Kids learn by watching us. When we show them unconditional love, they see it in action and are more likely to follow our lead. It means letting them know our love isn’t based on their behavior. Celebrate their wins, absolutely, but also be there for them when they stumble, offering support and encouragement. This builds a strong foundation of trust and security.
By weaving grace and love into my parenting, I’ve created a warm and nurturing environment where my children feel safe, valued, and understood. Graceful parenting doesn’t just change how we handle misbehavior; it has transformed the whole atmosphere in our family, fostering closer connections and leaving a lasting positive impact.
