  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I've read it as well (the one Leanna is referring to, which I assumed you were referring to as well). Very informative and I would jump at an opportunity for a free workshop around the concepts presented. I definitely feel the skills I learned in that book helped my relationship with my child.

I've heard of the book, but haven't read it.

I would definitely go to the workshop - I'm not a big reader of parenting books, but will attend workshops and lectures on parenting any day of the week, Maybe that's just me. It's not that I don't read, it's just that I like to be able to talk to people about things as well.
