Conceptions on Parenthood is a new series for The Childhood Curator. Occasionally I will be sharing brief interviews with parents to offer different experiences and perspectives on childhood development beyond my own professional lens. After all, parents are the experts on their own children. Participants can choose anonymity in order to protect the identities of their family members.

In addition to being a parent, what is your current career?

I am working full time as a speech-language pathologist.

How many children do you have and what are their ages?

I have one child who is two years old, and I’m currently pregnant with my second child.

What type of community do you live in?  

Suburban

If you had to realistically describe your experience as a parent or caregiver so far in 3 words, what would they be…and please be honest!

  1. joy

  2. snuggles

  3. consuming

Have you read any books about parenting or child development? If so, which ones?
