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.
