So if not using "holistic", what term do you use?
That is open to interpretation to it might be a better word to use. It will mean whatever healthy means to that person.

We are old school parents, but in a loving, nurturing way. Set limits, enforce consequences. BUT, we also communicate and discuss feelings with our children regularly.
I loathe every family that has said 'granola' 'crunchy' 'organic' 'baby wearing' etc
I NO LONGER advertise as RIE, RIE does NOT mean 'no consequences' and 'let your child behave like a monster'

We don't mesh well with other crunchy/granola families because of the way we parent. We parent traditionally but have a "natural side" to raising our child and taking care of our health.

I'm out of the loop though what's a granola and crunchy family?

Granola and crunchy are ways of saying alternative parenting and holistic medicine, natural birth without drugs, and breastfeeding, things like that. It's kind of slang but not in the sense of like bad words just another way to describe a lifestyle and value set of sorts.
I'm a half-crunchy parent. I look at each issue and decide which option makes the most sense. For instance I did natural drug-free childbirth in a Jacuzzi tub but I use disposable diapers, formula for my own babies from 4 months onward, and allow tv here and there. My rules are firm on things that matter, like being gentle to others, sitting at the table to eat, and for my own kids that if any water comes out of the tub that they are done with the bath.

When I advertised as holistic, childrens meditation teacher
I got a lot of crazies that expected me to wear their babies all day and lie down with their toddlers for naps and allow hitting and biting etc. I sometimes see providers advertising as "attachement parenting" providers and I laugh and think "good luck"!!! Attachment parenting only works when the parent is doing the attaching
