YET
Welcomes An Honest Array Of Parental Opinions Within The Forums & Feedback Section Of This Website

Forum Disclaimer: With the very welcome increase in the number and diversity of stories and comments to those stories being posted into our Forums & Feedback section of our website by concerned and caring parents and website visitors just like yourself, I wanted to write this Forum Disclaimer and make a few things perfectly clear so as to avoid reader confusion and to ‘set the record’ straight, as it were, as to how I view all things ‘Parenting’

(Did 'The Record' ever become crooked? Perhaps not, but this Forum Disclaimer is to make double sure it all stays on-track and is perfectly understood by one and all).

First off, my views on all things parenting are reflected within the official pages of this Preteen Thru Teenage Parenting Action Guide, and Are Not necessarily reflected within the Stories and Comments to those stories that are posted by our website visitors (such as yourself) as found within the Parenting Forums within this website.

Does this mean that I don’t agree with anything that is found within the Parenting Forums?

Of course not.

But the stories and views found within the Parenting Forums reflect the wide array of views from the many diverse peoples who are visitors and fans and contributors to this website, and as such I welcome and encourage all views that are sincere and heart-felt to be posted to these forums for the edification and enlightenment of us all, whether I personally agree with those views or not - hence this Forum Disclaimer.

“What if I don’t agree with a view that is reflected within a story?” you might ask yourself?

Whether you agree or disagree, please DO leave a comment to that story explaining your point of view, why you agree or disagree, and what you might have done differently or why it is you see it from a different point of view or from the same point of view.

Just keep your comments cordial and civil and we will all benefit not only from reading a story that may not be in harmony with OUR parenting views, but we will benefit from leaving and reading a wide array of comments, pro and con, to all of the stories that are posted to our Parenting Forums.

We as a community of concerned and proactive parents can never hope to be ‘Better Parents’ unless we are exposed to a wide array of parenting ideas and thoughts, all of which must work on some level for those who hold those views, and which we may or may not agree with and which may or may not work for us and for our children, but which will expand our parental horizons just to understand that there are different ways of looking at and reacting to the parental experiences of life.

These different opinions are what make this website all the more valuable as we read your stories, opinions, and ways of looking at how you parent and why it works for you.

As people comment on your stories you can also see how others view the same matter, and then we will really be onto some good learning and growing and parental awakening here, which is what this website is really all about.

Note: If you take the time to visit this website then it will NOT be a waste of your time, I promise you that!

Henry Ford used to joke way back when that you could have any color of car you wanted, as long as it was black.

Well, making only black cars really didn’t allow the consumer any choices or freedom of expression, and that ‘lack of choice and diversity’ is what we avoid in our Parenting Forums when we receive and publish wonderful and interesting parenting stories from all over the USA and from all around the world that reflects a wide array of parenting thoughts and opinions.

Can you imagine how boring the world would be if we all thought exactly alike?

So when you read a story or two or more that is found within our Parenting Forums, realize that this is one of our most powerful and interactive offerings on this website for real-time parenting growth and learning within our parenting community that we are creating here.

The more YOU contribute to the thoughts and the discussions within the Parenting Forums the more YOU will grow as a parent and as a person.

I of course don’t agree with everything that is posted by our visitors (hence this Forum Disclaimer) but I do support YOUR desires to share YOUR opinions and I know that it makes us all the better to read them, think about them, and then comment on the same.

Have you left a comment or two to any of the stories posted so far that you have read?

If not, why not?

Become a part of the process and not just an observer – what YOU think really does matter.

Nobody ever advanced in life without taking a few risks, and that includes leaving a story or comment to a story that will help our community of caring and involved parents have more insight into the various ways of looking at and dealing with the myriad of parenting questions and answers we are faced with on a daily basis.

In closing this Forum Disclaimer, let me remind you that the views expressed within our Parenting Forums are the views of those visitors posting their stories and comments, just like you will one day hopefully do, and I nor you nor anyone else will or does or should agree with everything that can be written (and that is how it should be).

I have left some comments to some of the stories within our Parenting Forums and I wish that you would too!

I am not afraid of a honest difference of opinion on parenting matters for it helps to stimulate our thinking on why we do what we do, and helps us to ponder if there are better ways of doing things.

There is much to be learned by reading stories that agree and disagree with how we wish to parent our children, and that is the central message of this Forum Disclaimer.

You will feel within your heart what is right for you, and we can never go wrong when we follow our hearts and a lifetime of experience and practical wisdom.

A very big THANK YOU to all of you who have utilized these Parenting Forums and who continue to do so, as well as to those of you who will do so in the future!

May our Parenting Forums and the stories and views they express continue to serve as a clear, interesting and thought-provoking window on the wide and varied world of parenting, children, family, child behavior, life and all things parenting so we can know how to turn our houses into loving and caring homes; with each of our homes being a small piece of heaven found here on this earth for the families we love so dearly.
