I am starting this group to connect with other like-minded parents who are commited to raising healthy and loving families and living peacefully. I have come to realize that a lot of the subjects that I am interested in all come from the broader perspective of "PEACE". Most of the ways in which we have chosen to raise our family are very peaceful and we try to respect nature. I feel that in order to raise children who are peaceful we need to take a good look at how we are raising them and to make sure our lifestyles are refective of that. Topics will range from but will not be limited to: Peaceful Parenting, Attachment Parenting, Vegetarianism, Animal Rights, Midwifery, Extended Breastfeeding, Gentle Discipline/Loving Guidance, Cloth Diapering, Co-sleeping, Non-circumcision, Non-vaccinating, Homeschooling, Waldorf education, No-television, Homebirthing, Organic foods and gardening, Veganism, Paganism, Earth Based Spirituality, Homeopathy, Herbs, Peacemaking, Ecology..you get the idea...(and NO you don't have to be a follower of ALL of these ideas!) I am hoping this will be a group where we can all share ideas and opinions and help each other on our parenting journeys. Please have an open mind and respect for each others differences. Discussion and differing opinions are welcome, after all how else will we learn from each other? But attacking each other in posts or flamming will not be tollerated. I think as adults we all know what this means, if you are going to be a jerk do it someplace else please! (or not at all:) As the group name suggests lets please be Peaceful with each other. I am also requiring that everyone post at least one message a month so we can keep the list active and discourage lurking. Even if you just post to say you are still here. I am new to moderating a group so we'll see how this goes. Welcome!
