Welcome
to Our Family & Children Page
If
we had to choose
one "theme" that motivated us the most to launch this site, it's seeing
what the Rat Race is doing to families and children. It's chewing up
families at a furious clip, diminishing our role in our children's
lives -- often making strangers of parent and child -- and distorting
their own experience of childhood as well. (And just as a footnote,
it's
replacing the love and tenderness between partners with stress,
preoccupation, and absence.)
But
it's not too late
to turn the ships of our families in a better direction. Here are some
resources to help you identify a better course, avoid the rocks and
shoals, and move toward a more positive destination for you and yours.
Rebelliously
Yours,
Chris
& Mike

Father
Work: "We believe that many fathers are pioneers
in their
efforts to care for their children today; they are blazing trails and
exploring unmapped territory. We believe that most fathers want to do
good fathering but that they often face significant barriers to
achieving that goal. Our focus is on good fathering, not good fathers.
We assume that most fathers want to improve and that all fathers make
mistakes."

what to do with your children in the car has come up again

all-inclusive resource on the topic. For years I enjoyed website
creation for my personal family website, so I decided to create this
website as a resource for moms everywhere."
