Description

Hi/Welcome,

This grp was designed 4

1. Parents who believe the conventional method 2 parenting doesn't work. We have found alternative methods we believe do work.

None of these altern. methods involve violence or abusive methods.

We realize as parents we sometimes act in a negative manner, but that is just part of learning & growing as humans as well as acknowledging that we learned this behaviour from our parents & the buck stops here.

We might also be parents of an altern. nature such as single parents (male or female), gay/lesbian parents, bi parents, polyamorous parents etc

2. We also want the right 2 use the methods we feel are best 4 our children & be free human beings.

Being altern. or mainstream parents usually means we are scrutinized 4 how we raise our children. We are watched over by other parents & social service agencies.

We are lumped into the same basket as parents who abuse (physically, emotionally & sexually) their children on a daily basis or even parents who kill their children.

We are afraid 2 parent the way we want 2 b/c society has avoided taking responsibility 4 so many centuries that now they are 2 paranoid & we pay the price.

This group is here 2 discuss the following.

1. Our frustrations
2. What is feels like 2 be alternative, be a parent & fear our children might be taken away from us
3. Various different methods 2 raising healthy loving children
4. How we can build an organization that will make a difference so we as parents have rights 2
5. 2 help educate other parents on how 2 use alternative methods instead of the conventional ones

If u fall into any of the above categories, pls feel free 2 join us.

My only requirements are that u post minimum once /month, absolutely no immature flamming & u answer a few questions b4 joining us.


Let's learn together, support one another & build a community that will make a difference.

We'd love 2 talk with you


Michelle
Peace & Serenity
