Hi everyone! We have almost reached 3,000 members. Its very exciting, especially with a group that regularly discusses parenting issues, the most important issue that we face - moreso than the dramas going on in the other groups, like my boyfriend said my butt was big, or my mother-in-law is a transvestite, should I have her around the kids.... Whatever, I digress....

Firstly, Becky Robinette Eanes, one of our members, has done some phenomenal things on Facebook. She started Positive Parenting: Toddlers and Beyond. I think Brenda and Lucienne have become fans, but I strongly recommend that you seek out that page on Facebook and become a fan so that you can the posts. Predominently the posts consist of excellent articles by parenting/AP experts. Every article is a "must read." Becky and the other contributors should be commended for the time and effort that they put into it. Also there is a page that I recommend TEACH Through Love - another excellent source of information and opportunities to share.

Secondly, I know, as an AP mom of now two children, we are very busy moms. When the opportunity arises, please come to the AP/Co-Sleeping page to read the discussions and contribute. Your input through your experiences with AP and Co-Sleeping is invaluable to the other members. Also, sharing articles, other links, and even photos of our little ones allows us to stay connected. This is by far the most important community of moms because we all share the same visions for raising happy, well-adjusted children. Not an easy task in this world.

Thank you! Geralyn

I didn't even know there was a community for this. I co slept with my 7 year old until 4 months because she slept through the night, but she was in my room until she was almost 6. I co sleep with my 8 month old now because I breast feed and she usually doesn't sleep through the night. Luckily DH is practically an insomniac and is up all night working on his 3D modeling. And he sleeps with our 8 month old when they both need a nap.



ETA: I shower with my 7 year old when she wants to. I bathe with my 8 month old because she hates the baby bathtub and we use the family change room at the community pools here in BC. No one seems to really care here.

We are still co-sleeping at 6 1/2 & 7 1/2. I wore my DD for the 1st year of her life until she didn't want it anymore. lol I hate negative comments on any of it. DD still showers w/ DH & both kids see me naked. Who cares? It's a non issue for us. We are comfortable w/ our bodies. However, in ultra conservative Utah, where I live, I make sure my kids know limits. lol

Hi Geralyn,

Thanks for doing such a great job with this group :-) I'm looking on facebook, but can't find Becky's page - there are so many "Positive Parenting" pages! I tried typing in the whole thing with "Toddlers and Beyond" but nothing came up. Could you post the link?

Thanks a bunch!

Irene
