We are a Christian Attachment Parenting (AP) email community who seek to provide information and support to the attachment parent using Grace-Based Discipline (GBD).

This list is for Christian parents who do not use spanking or other punitive discipline methods (such as time-outs) and desire to foster a loving and kind relationship with their children while guiding them in a relationship with Christ. We seek to be firm and kind in our interactions with our children, and authoritative without being authoritarian or permissive. While we embrace those who are seeking to understand more about GBD we do not tolerate posts that promote spanking or other punitive measures.

Although discipline is our main focus, topics such as the family bed, extended nursing, birth options, natural health, informed vaccinations, etc. are also discussed. We encourage discussion of growing and nurturing a Christ-like home and Christian family.

Frequent topics include GBD responses to hitting, sibling rivalry, mealtime issues, child safety, the “Rod” verses, and understanding age-expected behaviors.
