You're not behind. You're not too late. You're just not alone anymore.
What if the exhaustion you feel isn't a sign that you're failing — but a sign that you've been trying to do something love was never designed to do?
There is a design for family. For childhood. For the way human beings grow into wholeness. And when we align with it, everything changes — not because it's easy, but because it's true.
Restoring the Lost Art of Being Family
I'm Janet Newberry. I didn't set out to help families find their way home. I set out to find my own way home — and what I discovered changed everything. It turns out the way home is the same for all of us.
And the further I walk toward home, the more I realize how many of us are looking for the same thing.
On the day I was born, the world thought childhood was a season for measuring up. By the day I die, I hope we know it's a season for growing up — for developing a nervous system, not relying on one that isn't built yet. For building secure relationships, not résumés.
I want to change the world's mind about childhood. And I believe it starts here — in your home, with you.

Restoring the Lost Art of Being Family began as a personal reckoning — my own honest look at what family was designed to be and how far we've drifted from it. I wrote it because I needed it. I offer it because I believe you do too.
It is not a how-to. It is not a checklist. It is an invitation to stop managing what was meant to be loved — and to find your way back to the design.
Read it slowly. It was written that way.
