Savanna Means
Column Writer
The Motherline
Savanna is a certified parenting mentor living on a small regenerative family farm in central Oklahoma, with her husband and daughter. She believes parenting culture needs a shift—away from managing behavior and toward prioritizing relationship and development. Rooted in a deep understanding of child development, she looks beneath the behavior to find developmental needs, connection, and real cooperation. This shift changed her life and her mothering, equipping her to support families ready to move away from punishments, rewards, bribes, and threats toward a lasting relationship with their child.
