Maggie Modjeski: Parenting styles not worth going to war over

I know everyone’s parenting style is unique and needs to work for their children and family. I know it takes a village to raise a child, and I don’t want to anger anyone because most days I need help from all of the villagers I can get.

What made me decide to open this can of worms was a Facebook post from a longtime friend of mine who lives far away. We have grown apart because of our parenting styles. She made...

News from the Crib by Alex Barnett: Ivan’s Parenting Tip #54 – Stage Time Magazine

My wife and I have an infant son named Ivan. He is 9 months old. Ivan is very concerned that parents do right by their children (he is especially worried about me and thinks little of my parenting skills to date). Ivan has decided to help out new parents by issuing a regular newsletter called: #TeamIvan’s News From the Crib.

1. My husband and I have an 9-month old. He isn’t crawling yet, should we be worried? Nah, he’s got a whole life ahead of him to crawl. Just look at how well you and your husband crawl and cower before your bosses.

2. My husband and I have an 9-month old. When can we expect him to walk? You can expect it anytime you want. But, the baby will...
