Parenting on the Web |
|
Here are some of my favorite websites related to parenting that provide information and articles. For links to specific articles on some of these sites, see my Articles page. For more informal thoughts, check out my blog! A colleague and I moderate an email support group to provide non-punitive discipline support, especially as it relates to Attachment Parenting. Talk About Empathic Parenting Bulletin Board A joint endeavor with several friends of mine created this respectful and supportive parenting community. Although this is a busy page, there are many wonderful articles at this site that are well-worth reading. Someday I want to find the time to read through the site end-to-end! In the meantime, I urge you to check out the “Articles” section. Alicia Bayer describes her site as a place that “focuses on plain old happy, goofy, silly, leisurely life for our children. Check out the newsletter archives for a mixture of musings, craft ideas, suggestions and so on. The articles section has a range of humorous, helpful, sentimental and just plain goofy stuff, while the poetry section has an assortment of poems.” The Consciously Parenting Project by Rebecca Thompson A positive paradigm of parenting without the underlying punitive messages so common in many parenting websites. Listen to podcasts / recordings of telecalls with interesting people. Your Parenting Solutions by Dr. Laura Markham This “Dr. Laura” has a wonderful site with a true emphasis on parenting through connection and empathy. Check it out for lots of great tips and articles. Official Site Of Positive Discipline by Dr. Jane Nelsen As far as I know, Jane Nelsen coined the term “Positive Discipline”. This site is a great resource, with lots of helpful articles. Dr. Gordon’s Parenting Philosophy Originally published in the book, “Parent Effectiveness Training”, Dr. Gordon’s parenting model is very empathic parenting method based on respectful communication with children. Positive Discipline Resource Center A collection of helpful ideas to support Positive Discipline. Biblical Parenting by Crystal Lutton Although this is a Christian parenting site, you won’t feel that you are being preached to; you will only see the strength of Crystal’s own convictions. If you are interested in Positive Parenting from a Christian perspective, or even in general, this is a wonderful site.
