Parental Alienation Syndrome or PAS is a devastating, complex and real problem. Children of divorce become alienated from one of their parents by either the naive or active "brain-washing"/campaign of denigration against the other parent. The right of a parent and child to have a loving relationship is one of the most fundamental rights and developmentally critical relationships a person has. It is challenging to reverse PAS and many alienated parents do not recognize PAS when it is actively hap …

This is a group for moms who use a parent-directed approach to child rearing with their 0-9 year olds. We use sleep training methods to get our children on a sleeping and eating schedule, and we are trying to raise them to be content and independent. This is decidedly not attachment parenting. We love our children and feel that we are raising them in a healthy, loving way that trains them to participate in the world in a more enjoyable way.  Let's MeetUp, get to know each other, and provide …

I have been trying to find a group of parents who love and enjoy to read as much as my husband and I do. Sadly we do not have as much time to read as we use to but we still try to read as much as we can:) Now I read a lot of parenting books or books geared towards children and their interests. My hopes for this group is for us to have a kind of book club aspect in that we will read some similar books and meet at each others home for a session or local coffee shops to discuss them. I love hosting …

The goal is to find other parents who had a rather painful beginning of the journey of parenthood.

Additionally, it is to provide support for each and every person who attends so that they can feel understood and empowered to reach their personal and fami …
