Mothering Mag this week:


Hello everyone! Here's what's new this week at Mothering.com&





Featured Articles:

Sometimes, gentle and firm disciplining of your child can seem impossible. But listening to your heart and the experience of parents you admire can help you provide the loving guidance that makes all the difference in the world.



Compassionate Connection: Nonviolent Communication with Children

When our baby was a week old, his grandfather expressed concern that my partner and I were holding him too much. Since then, Grandpa has worried about cosleeping and extended nursing, and we have continued to talk together about the differences in our parenting philosophies. At one point Grandpa tried to harmonize our obviously different approaches: "Surely we all want the same thing," he said. "We want our children to grow up to become independent."

Parental Anger: Mindfulness and Letting Go

As a facilitator of parenting workshops, I work with parents on understanding their emotional reactions to their children. Without question, the issue that is raised more than any other is parental anger. One day, listening to a woman talk about how angry she gets with her children, a light bulb clicked on in my head: I realized that the best way to understand the anger in our society is to understand the anger inside of us. The best way to teach our children is to be role models, by looking at and understanding our own anger.

Wow Judy, I have never read Mothering Mag, there are a lot of powerful articles just in that issue. Can you tell me more about the magazine itself what kind-of background does it have? I have to send this article to many of my friends, have lots of friends dealing with little boys who are having really hard times dealing with anger.
Thanks,
Kelli

oh, what you have been missing!
It is a fabulous, fabulous publication. Peggy O'Mara is a woman who has
facilitated many paradigm shifts for our children. and a great speaker!
if you ever have the chance to see her- DO!

and shoot- I just gave years and years and years worth of back issues
away ( to my local OB Clinic- 'strewing' on a community level ;-)
(Am I the oldest parent here?- I have an almost 27 yo...)

*DO* get yourself a subscription, Kelli.

Sadly, Catherine Young past away last year ( on Sept 11th- I like to
think that she was needed to be a 'Compleat Mother' to all the people
who were murdered that day...) but her magazine goes on as wonderful as
ever.

Oh, why couldn't I have had a mother like you? I do love my mother and everything but I just wonder what I would be like now if I would have had one that accepted me for me.
Unfortunately, she is older than you and didn't know these things.
Also, I wish I would have found a Le Leche group, because I was unable to nurse any of mine and I still have dreams of doing that, sad huh? Oh well, I can still be a good parent now!
Do you think I would still like Mothering, even tho' I'm past the birthing part of my life?
It has alot of parenting things also, right?
Thanks, Kelli

My Mom and I have VASTLY different parenting styles, too.
that was then, this is now...
do your best for *your* kids.

Oh, I'm sorry.
almost all breastfeeding 'failures' are simply mismanagement by the
'professionals'... too much separation in the hospital, introduction of
pacifiers, bottles too early....
if you know a woman who is expecting a baby, help her get the
information she needs. attending LL Meetings is a must do while pregnant
and the LLLI website is VERY helpful:

Be careful what you say if you go to their meetings! I formula-fed both my boys because I had to work full time. When I had my third baby, I had been staying home for over 4 years, so I wanted to breastfeed her. I went to a meeting.... they asked about how I'd fed the boys, and I told them. The rest of the meeting was spent with them attacking my choices and telling me what a bad mom I was. Absolutely no support for me wanting to breastfeed now, no help or advice, nothing. Just criticism for past choices. I was almost in tears by the time I left.

I'm serious!!

I'll be 54 next month. My oldest is 27, and my grandkids are almost 8, 2
today, and 2months. I think Helen might be older than me. My "baby" will
be 15 in a couple of weeks.

I'm SO sorry that you had that kind of an experience at a LLL meeting! How
awful that must have felt! Having been a LLL leader, it saddens me to hear
that you did not feel any support at the meeting you attended, a meeting
where the primary purpose is to offer support and encouragement to ALL moms
who wish to breastfeed their babies. I can certainly understand why you
would have been brought to near tears after feeling attacked. I think I
would have felt that way, too! No mom should have to defend her choices to
ANYONE, certainly not people she is going to for HELP!

But, I do want to say that LLL's policy is offer support through
encouragement, not attacking moms choices! I pray and I believe that your
experience is not the typical experience a mom would have who had formerly
bottle-fed and wanted now to breastfeed. We certainly had moms attend our
meetings who had bottle-fed in the past, but LLL accepts all moms and
accepts people where they ARE now (or at least this is the ideal). Each
group is made up of the people who attend, and each leader is a volunteer
mom. Therefore, no two meetings and no two groups are exactly the same,
but I do know that LLL does not encourage its members or leaders to
criticize others' choices in any way. My co-leader said it well. She
asked moms who came to our meetings to think of the meetings as a
supermarket of ideas. Each mom knows her family and her situation best and
should only take the ideas that SHE feels would work in her situation, and
leave the rest, just as we don't buy everything in a supermarket. The
point is that LLL acknowledges that each mom is THE expert on her family.

It breaks my heart to think that you came away from La Leche League with
such a bad (but understandable) impression of the organization. Many
people have come to our meetings warily because they had heard that LLL was
nothing but a bunch of breastfeeding maniacs, and they were pleasantly
surprised and went on to become members and held group jobs and one person
I can think of became a leader applicant.

Warmly,

Marji

P.S. By the way, we have had moms who come to our LLL meetings or call me
on the phone because they want to wean from the breast and start
bottles. And, if this is the kind of support they need, this is the kind
of support a LLL leader would give. Having said that, sometimes a mom will
ask for that kind of information but on further questioning from the LLL
leader, there is, in fact, a different issue that needs to be resolved and
then the breastfeeding relationship can continue, IF that's what the mom
REALLY wants. We have to be careful to find out what the mom really wants.

Hugs,

What a horrible experience! And how so very helpful (she says, dripping sarcasm.)
How very sad for them. They could have welcomed a great mom into their midst, learned from you how to help mom's who were working to nurse (you could have told them what would and would not have worked for you...what you wish you knew etc.). and lost they opportunity to advise and help you become a nursing mom to your third.

Different groups have different folks. It pays to shop for the group you'll mesh with best. I had a great LLL group in NYC, but in Brooklyn, even though everyone was Jewish--and Orthodox Jews to boot, in contrast to the other group which was mixed (and where I was the only Orthodox member to the best of my recollection) they were less my type in terms of philosphy of life. They were lovely people, just not where I was at in different ways.

Anyway, though it may have been a long time ago, hugs to you for what you went through...

be well,
Rachel Ann

Wow, would you come here and start a group Marji??? I'll come, I promise!!!! I would have loved to have a supporting group to go to, heck, I still would! As it ended up, my midwife was the only one to help me any, and that was just once right after the birth, and again twice on the telephone. Thankfully, I had no problems or I don't know if I would have been able to work them out. My only problem now is my little princess has gotten teeth and is not afraid to use them! LOL

I'll keep what you said about LLL's policies and such, I must just have found a lousy bunch. :-(

Thank you Rachel Ann!!!! I'm glad you guys all understand how I felt, my mom and DH both told me it didn't matter, to just let it go! It's hard to do that!!!

How sad for you. From my experience with LLL, I think this was an oddity.
Any group I've been to would have expressed sympathy for what you felt you
had to do at the time and then gone on to help you nurse the new baby.

Okay! I'm packing my bags!!! <G> In fact, I'm planning to come to the
SOS conference in South Carolina next week (!!!), and if I remember
correctly, you may be there, too! I'm REALLY looking forward to meeting
all these amazing unschooling folks; this is like a dream come-true for me!

The truth is that I am a retired (emphasis on -tired) leader and I'm not
running meetings anymore. But, that new-teeth thing is really quite
manageable! Please feel free to email me privately if you need some help
finding help or some strategies for dealing with your little sweetie trying
out her beautiful new teeth.

Do you think I would still like Mothering, even tho' I'm past the birthing

Go ahead -- read it and see!

If you find you don't want to get a subscription for yourself you could
perhaps give a subscription to a young woman who would benefit from it
or donate a subscription to your local library.

I think it's great to spread the word.

really looking forward to it.

Sure, I'm sure alot of us feel the same way about age; we enjoy all ages because there are so many different facets to each age and we can learn from all!

Yes, this is a good idea, my husband is on the library board and I could find out if they have a subscription. If they don't that would be a great donation! Our small town needs these natural and wonderful ideas!

Go ahead -- read it and see!

If you find you don't want to get a subscription for yourself you could
perhaps give a subscription to a young woman who would benefit from it
or donate a subscription to your local library.

I think it's great to spread the word.

So if you want to give your library a subscription gift, do you just
walk in and hand them a gift card stating that they'll be receiving
the magazine, or do you ask their permission first?
