Smart Love, Not Tough LoveRead the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only". « Previous 1 2 Next » » BeckySAHM - Welcome Sara! Welcome Sara! That's a great article. I know what you mean about baby training vs. raising a happy, healthy child. I'm an attachment parenting mom too and am so happy to see your topic here. It's nice to read articles or books that encourage moms to follow their heart instead of the typical advice. Have you visited my topic?http://www.suite101.com/welcome.cfm/15421 Keep up the good work! -- posted by BeckySAHM » rahunter_nf - Welcome, Sara! Welcome to the community of Suite101.com editors and to the Home & Family Community, Sara. I hope that you enjoy being a part of each as much as I do.-- posted by rahunter_nf » msaraann - Re: Welcome Sara! In response to message posted by BeckySAHM:Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed my article. I have visited your topic. I've been reading your articles while my nine-month-old daughter naps. Your recent article on What a Marriage is Really About makes a good point in that the media unrealistically influences our expectations of marriage. I wonder how much happier people would perceive themselves to be if marriage was portrayed more realistically. -- posted by msaraann » klomanno - Thanks for a great topic Hey Sara,Welcome to Suite101. I'm a fellow editor of the Working Mom Survival Guide topic, and it's so refreshing to see parents following their instincts rather than the advice of a book or so-called expert. I jokingly tell people, "I'm the worst mom in the world" because I still rock my 11-month-old daughter to sleep and let her sleep in our bed. I fed her solids before 6 months against doc's orders because she had chronic constipation from formula, which was forcibly given to her at 3 days old when she was hospitalized for jaundice. We were stuck with formula ever since. Needless to say, I'm wary of doctors at best. How could they possibly know my daughter better than me? I tell my husband, if there were no books or experts on parenting, we'd be forced to follow our instincts. Well, we've just decided to follow our instincts anyway, and we've got a healthy, smart, active, loving, attached daughter. I look forward to your future articles. -- posted by klomanno » ravenfairie - Thanks for a great topic Welcome to suite101! I'm so very glad that I've found your topic. I'm expecting my first child in august and I'm already being overloaded with advice about the 'right way' to do, well, everything. I'm positive that your site and your articles will me very helpful to me keeping up my confidence over the next while. Thanks! And again a warm and happy welcome!!Anne Ellis, -- posted by ravenfairie « Previous 1 2 Next » Please follow the guidelines set forth in the Suite101 Posting Etiquette when adding to the discussion. |
