The Oakton Balance Project began from the chance connection of a few parents who happened to be asking the same questions at the same time. We quickly realized that we had more questions than answers, but more importantly that we shared values, hopes, and a desire to do better for our kids.
Some of the questions we shared included,
How can we help our kids navigate the digital world thoughtfully - at home and at school?
How do we connect with other families interested in raising children more intentionally without peer pressure?
How do we create space for our kids to just be kids?
Our goal isn't to be the authority nor to have all the answers. Our goal is to create a safe place for parents to ask questions, share ideas, and support each other. Over time, through asking questions, sharing our vision, and consistently showing up, we've built a meaningful community.
We can't wait to meet you and hear your story.
