Resources for parenting a werewolf

With the compliments of the Lunar Foundation: social work for the wolfish.

Becoming a parent or caregiving packmate to your first werewolf child is always a steep learning curve. Whether you are a werewolf yourself or not, and regardless the age of the child, parenting a lupine shapeshifter comes with challenges you will probably not encounter anywhere else. The Lunar Foundation has various resources available that you can access at any time:

► Find healthcare with a paw print of approval. Access our website noneedtohowlalone.com for a full registry of (health)care professionals who have the appropriate specialization to treat werewolves. This includes physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopaths and masseurs that specialize in working with shapeshifters to handle the physical strain of (involuntary) transformations.

► Our “Who’s a good baby?” parenting package. For parents to the littlest pups. Includes some basic (were)wolf biology, a list of transformation-safe clothing, education on food and nutrition, and information on shapeshifter-safe childcare.

► The Full Moon Prep Kit. A great place to start at any stage and for any age. Adaptable to every individuals needs and habits.

► Tips for inside transformations. Until children have developed the necessary self-control to roam free during their transformations a little preparation will go a long way to protect them and their surroundings (and your furniture).

► Methods to gain control of transformations. A practical resource for older children who are struggling with involuntary shifting. Can be shared directly or used to read up on the subject before discussing it.

We are currently working on turning many of our workshops and presentations into online courses, but please feel welcome at any of our community centers at any time, including full moon nights!
