Our Love Language is Authenticity
Dear Parents,
When I founded Safe Start, I didn’t want it to be just another baby proofing company. I felt it was important for safety experts to account for the struggles and difficulties of modern parenthood. My mission became: Utilize my expertise by helping parents with well-balanced and thoughtful safety solutions that improve their everyday lives while approaching each family with empathetic understanding and genuine acceptance. Because let’s be real, parenting isn’t picture-perfect and we believe in embracing the chaos, not hiding it.
The Trauma of Toddlerhood
When we talk about being traumatized by toddlerhood, we’re not exaggerating. The relentless curiosity of toddlers, paired with their unexpected speed and ninja-like abilities requires an immense amount of attention from a parent to keep all limbs in place. And for us? It turned us into baby proofers. It was a coping mechanism, a way to regain some semblance of control in the whirlwind of parenting.
The Unqualified Conversation
We’ve made it a point never to qualify our discussions about children. No ‘but they’re so sweet’ or ‘it’s all worth it in the end’ to soften the blow. Parenting is tough. Period. It’s frustrating, exhausting, messy, annoying, and expensive. The upside may be that it gives you purpose, and, at times, it may be fulfilling. But we think it’s crucial to talk about it in its unadulterated form.
Open Books, Open Hearts
We believe in sharing our personal experiences as parents. The sleepless nights, the mini panic attacks when a toddler goes quiet, the joy of first steps, and the terror of what those steps might lead to. We hope to foster a sense of openness and understanding.
Judgment-Free Zone
Every family’s journey is unique. If a parent chooses not to baby proof, that’s okay. We’re here to provide advice, support, and service, not judgments. We respect every parent’s choice because we know firsthand that parenting doesn’t come with a manual.
With the vast array of parenting services, Safe Start stands out because of our steadfast dedication to truthfulness. At our core, we are just parents helping parents, navigating the ups and downs of family life, and doing our best to support one another along the way.
With Sincerity & Understanding, Alisa
