Amp,
Thank you so much for sharing this! Your description of a Slowlane and Fastlane parent was the kick in the pants that I needed. Up until now, I’ve been a Slowlane parent with the intention of being Fastlane but now will focus on being a Fastlane parent. Thank you.

I've got a 2 year old daughter, with a son coming in April.
When it comes to time with your kid, quantity is greater than quality.
People/gurus/columnists who say "make time for 1 on 1 quality time with your kid once a week" are on the sidewalk.
How about make 4-8+ hours of time a day for your kid, by being in the fastlane, and having all the time in the world.
Whatever values and influence you wish to impart on your children, will surely have more impact if you are simply always there and available.
Not to mention, when you have free time, you can do cool sh*t for/with your kid.
In the past month:
- I built a tree house with a sandpit underneath
- I built a 12 foot rock wall in the backyard for the kid (complete with harness/belay system).
- We've been to the library multiple times.
- We're spending tomorrow at a museum in Dallas.
- Read books together for 1-2 hours a day, daily.
- Been to every playground in town multiple times.
- Will take her fishing for the first time this week.
- Sang the ABC song with her about 10,000 times.
Because I can take a trip/vacation whenever I want, she's going to be closer to her grandparents than I ever was to mine. We plan on making the trip to see my folks 4-5 times a year. Last summer, we spent 2 months in Sweden, and we plan to spend ever summer in a new far-off destination. International travel teaches you things that you could never learn in a geography/history book. People who say it's no fun to travel with kids, haven't done it right. Rent a kid-friendly airbnb with a playroom.
I hope to be sufficiently far enough along in the fastlane to where I can homeschool my kids completely, when they come to that age. As a former teacher, I've got a pretty negative view on our school systems, and I feel like I could just do it better myself.
I think the fastlane opens doors to a whole side of parenting that most people never get to experience. Fastlane Parenting is immersive.
Sidewalk Parenting is an afterthought that you do for 1 hour in the morning and 1-2 hours in the evening. And then some time on the weekend where your kids watch you do chores around the house.
