Modern parenting meets curiosity, play & tech that supports growth.
🖍️ The CRAYON Philosophy
A parenting framework that keeps us grounded — even when things get messy.
At Code & Crayons, we follow a simple idea: parenting doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be intentional.
Here’s what CRAYON means in our home:
| Letter | Meaning | In Action |
|---|---|---|
| C | Cultivate Curiosity | Follow wonder. Ask before telling. |
| R | Reflect & Respond | Pause first. Empathize before correcting. |
| A | Act with Intention | Say no with love, yes with purpose. |
| Y | You Matter Too | Care for yourself so you can show up fully. |
| O | Observe the Child | Listen deeply. Let them show you who they are. |
| N | Nurture Future-Ready Skills | Focus, resilience, kindness > checklists. |
📚 Raising Readers — Without Pressure
We didn’t start with flashcards.
We started with stories.
My 2.5 years old toddler started his reading with CVC words like cat and mat — not because I pushed, but because we built a reading habit from joy . Now we have moved to books where he read sentences on his own.
On the blog, I share:
- What actually helped us fall in love with reading early
- Our most re-read books (100+ and counting)
- Play-based phonics ideas
🎁 Free Tools (Coming Soon!)
I’m building simple, no-pressure resources to make parenting feel calmer and more connected.
What’s coming:
- ✅ Morning Reset Checklist
- 📚 20 Most Re-Read Books PDF
- 🧠 Spark Curiosity in Toddlers (Mini PDF)

You’re just learning in real time — like the rest of us.
Let’s raise these little humans with wonder, intention, and a few crayons along the way.
