There are many purposes that I hope this site serves.

Primarily, I hope that it serves as a valuable resource for parents who are interested in information about the Ezzo method of parenting, hence the name www.ezzo.info. What I mean by Ezzo method is the method that Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo (and Robert Bucknam) advocate in their books, tapes and parenting courses. The most well known of these are Babywise, Growing Kids God's Way and Preparation for Parenting.

Of course, there are some who, because I am a critic of the Ezzo method, will discount what I would write. Because of that I tend to not write very much at all, but would rather just provide links to what others have written and, in many cases, host the files myself.

Some other critics of the Ezzo method would rather me not provide direct links to www.gfi.org, the website of Gary Ezzo's company that promotes his parenting materials written for Christians. While I respect that point of view, I would rather parents have full information before they make any decisions, even if some of that information is advocating ideas I may not agree with.

Many of the other questions one might have about this site are probably covered in the Frequently Asked Questions file. If you have any questions not covered there, please don't hesitate to send an e-mail. However, I might suggest putting your questions to those who participate in the Awareparent.net discussion board. The people there are a dynamic group of thoughtful parents and former users of the material with a surprising amount of knowledge about the Ezzo teachings. Current users are welcome to join the discussion at any time.
