Parenting With the Daily Groove

Posted by Michelle Carchrae Aug 27, 2008

I recently came across a parenting resource website called Enjoy Parenting. It's aimed at parents who embrace the ideas found in holistic, nonviolent and attachment parenting philosophies, and aren't afraid to parent with the idea that we are all capable of infinite love, joy and self-worth. Their daily email subscription service, the Daily Groove, offers a bite-sized snippet of parenting ideas related to finding your groove together as parent and child.

While some of the ideas might come across as being very new age or touchy-feely, lots of them really are grounded in truth. Most encourage you to question any parenting technique that doesn't respect the child as an independent human being. That sounds like a no-brainer, but when it comes to enforcing bedtime or safety-related discipline it can be a humbling experience to really evaluate how you're interacting with your child.

If you really click with the Daily Groove and the Enjoy Parenting website, author Scott Noelle also offers a paid subscription part of the website, with a forum where you can discuss parenting with other subscribers and get tips and feedback directly from Scott.
