Overcoming the Stress of a Traumatic C-Section

Charlotta — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:45:41 +0000

I had a pretty traumatic emergency C-Section nearly three years ago when my daughter was born. Since then, I’ve had an immense amount of pent-up emotion and upset connected to that operation. Even after several years, I would constantly find myself still very much caught up in that incident. Not a day went by that [...]

Regarding Scientology and Breastfeeding

Tad — Fri, 11 May 2012 20:52:35 +0000

Though it’s been covered in other posts on breastfeeding and barley formula, today’s brouhaha stemming from the Time Magazine cover article on breastfeeding moms seemed a decent enough reason to restate & distill the topic: Do Scientologists breastfeed their kids? Yes, they do. But the decision as to whether or not to breastfeed, and for how [...]

Raising Physically Fit Kids

Tad — Fri, 11 May 2012 03:32:01 +0000

One of the core goals that I have for my kids is, as a parent, to try to help them develop very physically fit bodies. Obviously, it would be a great thrill to me if, later on in life, my daughter ended up as a soccer chick and my son ended up as a basketball [...]

Protesting the Drugging of Our Children

Tad — Tue, 08 May 2012 16:53:46 +0000

If there’s something that should have been abundantly clear by now, it’s the fact that I’m 100% opposed to the practice of labeling and subsequent psychotropic drugging of children. At its core, it is the world’s most-effective marketing sham, and too many parents fall for it. The American Psychiatric Association held their annual marketing pitch [...]

Stephanie — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 22:14:28 +0000

This is the third in a series of posts on the subject of using Dianetics as a parent. The first and second posts focused around how I use Dianetics as a parent, with my kids. But there’s that other part of being a parent – taking care of oneself so that parenting doesn’t drive you [...]

Parenting: The Importance of Understanding Dianetics (Part 2)

Stephanie — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:17:45 +0000

Dianetics has so many uses within the family. Many have been covered in articles on this site: how to handle injuries, calm and quiet birthing, assists to help moms during pregnancy and after the birth, etc. Yet in some ways this only scratches the surface of the use of this subject. My last post on the subject centered on [...]

Inconceivable!

Tad — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 01:03:44 +0000

I introduced my daughter to The Princess Bride last night, unbeknownst to my wife (who was out working late). She’s seen only the first 2/3 of the movie, just once. Then today, at dinner, she runs up to my wife and says, “Mommy, it’s INCONCEIVABLE!!” Shocked, my wife says, “What’s that?” Mackenzie then, noticing mommy must [...]
