A promo of Babywise...
I just ran across thie article (You'll have to cut and paste and remove the space between norwich and bulleting)
http://www.norwich bulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060129/LIFESTYLE/601290301/1024 Apparently, there is a "new player" in town promoting the same schedule and cry it out as Ezzo - they are at: www.raymond parenting.com (remove the space between raymond and parenting)..... I just hate all of this faddish advice being given - it's really sad to me..... |

Re: A promo of Babywise...
So. . . . "careful crying" is what they are calling it now. "Controlled crying" was the last term I had heard. :/
It bugs me that the Raymond's are co-opting some positive discipline terms. :/ C |

"Learning what is normal for a child (and an adult), what to expect, what to worry about and what not to worry about - all are available through Kitty's enlightened courses." The picture DIRECTLY above this quote "Learning what is NORMAL" (emphasis mine) is a picture of a baby being fed a BOTTLE!!! how is that "normal"??? just venting. and yes I know that there are some moms who end up bottle feeding not by choice... but still... breastfeeding is what is natural/normal. Things like this drive me crazy! |

Re: A promo of Babywise...
"The only reliable way for babies to design their own self-calming strategies (thumb, fingers, blanket, rocking, settling into the corner of the crib, etc.) is through being allowed to do some careful crying..."
This is a quote from their home page. Funny, all 4 of my kids learned self-calming strategies without doing "careful crying," but yet apparently "careful crying" is the ONLY reliable way for babies to learn to self soothe. Of course I don't expect a 3 month old to do much self-soothing--that's why mommies were made softer than daddies, right? They don't seem to be all bad though. Here are some other things from the website: "We encourage parents to...
Of course then there are those bottle feeding pictures. Its not just the one above the quote about "normal behavior," there is also one on the page about good nutrition for children, above a quote about the importance of feeding kids healthy food! I sent them an e-mail about the pictures, we'll see if I get a reply back. Jenn |

Re: A promo of Babywise...
Shoshoi, your joke about the drafting table made me smile and it also made me think...and when I think, it sometimes leads me to get on my
I don't know if the site is promoting itself as a Christian approach or not. All I can say is the idea of leaving people alone so they can design their own self-calming strategies lacks a major hallmark of following Christ, and that is getting involved with people who are suffering. I hope and pray that more and more Christian parents will see Christian parenting of babies as a ministry, and be encouraged that it's ok to calm your own babies, and be glad you can extend God's love and care to them in that way. Your own flesh and blood should not have to design a strategy to self-calm because no one will come, any more than the man beaten and left for dead in the parable of the good Samaritan should be left a little longer to see if he can design his own strategy for self-woundtending. |

Go Kathy! I'm gonna write that out and stick it on my fridge! Maybe I'll make little slips of paper and hand them out at church...

He he. I would love to do that at my church- but it would have to be 'approved' by the pastor/staff. Ofcourse that's not what they teach at my church (GKGW TTAC is more their style). That reminds me that I still need to look for a new church... |
