Favourite Parenting Web Sites?

I know this question might be controversial, but I will ask it anyway, does being a Christian make you a better parent? I personally don't think so, there are good Christian parents, there are bad Christian parents, just as there are good and bad parents of any other faith and none! I just don't think faith has anything to do with your ability, or not, to be a good parent.

www.family.org is the focus on the family web site. They often have very good articles on parenting. Also, Dr. Laura's web site has several good articles under stay at home mom and stay at home dad sections.

This is a nice site: http://www.gentlemothering.com/

Tang I do not think specifically being a christian automatically makes you a better parent, however if you are a parent wishing to raise your children to Gods will, then you will parent differently than a secular parent.

Lisa Whelchel, of the show Facts of Life has a wonderful perspective of mothering. She writes an article in every issue of Today's Christian Woman magazine and has several books on parenting. Her website is www.lisawhelchel.com, I think.

My favorite magazine has a great website :

www.familyfun.com

I don't have a specific website to suggest. However, I would like to address Tangnefedd's question. I agree that being a Christian does not necessarily make one a better parent. However, if the parents are sincere Christians it does offer things that nonChristian parents do not offer and the things that it offers are the most important things in this world. For example, Christian parents will make it a priority to show their children the way to salvation. I can not think of a more cruel thing to do to child than not prepare them for eternity. To take the risk of allowing one's child to spend an eternity in hell is worse than physically and mentally abusing a child (both of which are atrocious acts). That alone seems to me enough of a reason to raise a child in a Christian setting, but I think there are other reasons too. For example, if one raises a child based on the Bible, then the child will always have a reference point of good and evil, right and wrong, but in a nonChristian upbringing, good and evil, right and wrong is based on what works for that family or what works for that individual or what society deems as good and evil at the time or it is based other unGodly standards. I think just practically speaking a Christian upbringing is the best way. It teaches compassion and love, but also wisdom and how to avoid many problems and trouble in life and how to handle problems when we can't avoid them. So the parent himself may not be the best in the world based on his individual personality or parenting style, but the parenting method of Christianty is the best way.
