About:
Parenting 101

Are you frustrated by the stupidity and ignorance in other parenting groups on LJ?

This is a community for intelligent, open-minded, knowledge-seeking people to rant, share information, ask questions, and discuss different viewpoints on various parenting subjects.

This is NOT a community for those who blindly follow the herd. If you don't make your parenting decisions based on knowledge and careful consideration, then this is NOT the place for you. This is also a sister community to [info]boob_nazis, so if you have problems with receiving advice and information from [info]boob_nazis, please refrain from joining.


Feel free to join if you have questions, concerns or information on subjects such as:


Hospital, Home, Natural or Medicated Births
Circumcisions
Vaccinations
Formula Feeding
Breastfeeding, Extended Breastfeeding, or Nursing in Public
Attachment Parenting
Co-sleeping
Discipline
Homeopathy
Nutrition
Daycare
Stay at Home or Working Parents
Public, Private, Home, or Un-Schooling


You don't have to have kids to be a member, and please don't feel that you have to stick to these topics - anything related to parenting goes. But as fair warning, our members have many types of parenting styles, but the majority falls under the attachment parenting crowd. Some topics are found to be fire starters such as cry it out methods, bottle propping, and any Ferber/Ezzo type styles in this community. Please do not expect to be fully supported by the community if you post about these topics considering the member list and the general feel of the community as a whole.
