Unprepared for Parenting
Support and information for those affected by the Ezzos, the
Pearls, and other punitive and adversarial methods of child-rearing. They claim to be
Biblical, yet they misuse Scripture and weaken and strip parents of an essential God-given
gift--their intuition, and leave them unprepared for parenting.
INSERT VERSE
Mama-to-Mama Support
If you haven been affected by the Ezzos, Pearls, or other punitive and adversarial methods of child-rearing and would like support from other mamas, please visit our Unprepared for Parenting forum.
Everyone can read the posts, but to post a message you first need to join the messsage board.
