Attachment Parenting

The Attachment Parenting Blog is written by Dave Taylor, a parent who practices attachment parenting. This is a parenting style that focuses on spending extended time with your children.

Attachment Parenting Blog – Why You Should Go

Attachment parents use strategies like co-sleeping, extended breastfeeding and using slings rather than strollers to transport their babies. These strategies help ensure the maximum amount of time together between parent and child. Some of the strategies, of course, change as the child gets older, but the focus remains spending lots of time with your children and delaying the independent nature fostered by many parents. Dave Taylor has compiled a large list of resources on the blog for helping parents practice attachment parenting, and he writes regularly about his own parenting experiences.

This blog is helpful if you’re interested in practicing attachment parenting, or if you’re just exploring different parenting techniques before you have children. For those already practicing attachment parenting, this site is a great place to share experiences with other attachment parents.

Bonnie’s Blog Of Crime

No one would argue that there is any shortage of crime in the world, and given the choice most of us would rather turn the other way and not think about it. Blogger Bonnie Prisbey is doing nothing of the sort, though—she is shining the light on criminals, crime, and victims of crime to make perpetrating such offenses all the more difficult.

Bonnie’s Blog Of Crime – Why You Should Go

Although pretending crime doesn’t happen seems the much more comfortable choice, pushing aside crime and criminals simply makes it that much easier for criminals to get away with it. Blogger Bonnie, however, is doing her best to make sure that doesn’t happen. She is using her “life of crime” blog to spotlight criminals and to expand exposure for those who need her help the most—missing persons and victims of violent crimes. The blog regularly features stories and commentary, as well as articles and advice for keeping you and yours safe. It also ‘hosts’ bios and inmate information, stories of crime, and missing persons information in an effort to get the word out.

Summing Up Bonnie’s Blog Of Crime

Bonnie’s Blog of Crime serves an important function, albeit one that we’d all prefer were unnecessary. Nevertheless, crime is not going away any time soon and so it is important to have bloggers like Bonnie out there looking out for our best interests and keeping the public informed.

Black And Married With Kids

Bloggers seem to be very good at naming their blogs in quite self-explanatory ways; this is another blog where the name says it all, or at least most of it. This is a blog dealing with both the everyday issues and unique challenges that marriage, culture, parenting and children, and achieving the home-work balance can create.

Black And Married With Kids – Why You Should Go

Black and Married With Kids is the work of Lamar and Ronnie Tyler, a professional couple living and working and raising their family of four children in the Washington, DC, USA area. Their blog is focused quite heavily on all of the issues that impact a marriage, and also takes a wider world view into areas of interest. Ronnie and Lamar describe it as a place where they

“…share our opinions and points of view on relationships, parenting, politics, current events and anything in between.”

For readers, the multiple award-winning blog has become a place for insight, growth, inspiration, discussion, advice, and much more. The Tylers work hard to make this a community blog where topics are discussed rather than preached, opening up the blog as a sort of forum with each post, but most specifically with their category, Dear BMWK.

Summing Up Black And Married With Kids

Black and Married With Kids is a place of insight which takes on the always complex issue of parenting and maintaining healthy relationships. It’s no short order, but this couple has managed to build a place where real life meets the media world, and continues to work hard to lend advice and support to readers facing the triumphs and challenges of married life and raising children in a seemingly ever-changing landscape.

Biking Hiking With Kids

Biking Hiking with Kids is the shared experience of a father and his two young sons who are off enjoying the great outdoors of Northeast USA. This blog is both a resource for other parents and people who want to know more about sharing these activities with kids, and a chronicle of some quality times spent together between a father and his two children.

Biking Hiking With Kids – Why You Should Go

The author of this blog has been camping, hiking and mountain biking with his two sons for about four years now. They utilize many of the great trail systems and natural resources near their New Jersey, US home and are slowly expanding their outreach. Along the way, Dad is blogging about the trips and experiences and providing detailed trail reports so that readers and visitors can use the information to determine which points may be of interest to them, and which ones suit the skill-level, ability, and interest of them and their children.

This blog basically grew out of necessity when the author found that, although the US has many excellent trails prime for quality exploration with children, there is not a lot of good, detailed information on the web about most of them; and so, as he and his sons tackle a trail he also tackles the job of reviewing it and posting the information at his blog. Posts come complete with first-hand accounts, reviews, pictures, and trail maps. Additionally, the author offers up a variety of posts covering gear, preparation, and much more.

Summing Up Biking Hiking With Kids

Biking Hiking With Kids is an excellent first-line resource for anyone with an interest in sharing like outdoor activities with their children. The conversation is good, the trail reviews detailed and useful, and the example set by this father-son team is one definitely worth taking in.

Internet Safety – For Our Children’s Sake

Internet safety is a job for Jace Shoemaker-Galloway, but it is so much more to her, too. Much in the same vain as community child protection is both a business and a passion for Megan Bayliss, internet safety education and awareness is a whole-life passion for Jace. This blog is your online portal to that passion and the work she does each and every day.

Internet Safety – For Our Children’s Sake – Why You Should Go

Jace’s work and passion is internet safety for children and teens. It is one of the “buzz word” topics of the day—one that that we as adults and parents know is of eminent importance, but that runs the risk of becoming part of that background buzz; and that is precisely why blogs like Jace’s, and indeed Megan’s as well, are so important—to not only remind us that we have a task at hand, but to also put the tools of safety and success in them. On this blog Jace talks about the how and the why of internet safety, delivering real advice, solutions, and prevention tips and techniques. All of these stem from her work as an internet safety educator, work she has been devoted to for the past four years, educating parents and children and developing innovative programs for each.

Summing Up Internet Safety – For Our Children’s Sake

Internet safety is an issue that will only continue to grow in importance. It is also an issue with the potential to overwhelm the average parent or caregiver/educator with information overload. At this blog, Jace rights the balance again, delivering the most important news and tools for keeping our children safe online.

Imaginif

Imaginif…it’s the simple statement that precedes every effort at the blog that bears the name. In itself, it is a compelling statement. Combined with the rest of what’s going on at Imaginif and its parent site, it is a powerful statement indeed.

Imaginif – Why You Should Go

Imaginif is the blogging extension of Australian therapist Megan Bayliss‘s website, also named Imaginif. The website and the blog center on primarily two initiatives that stand strongly together and alone, but in the end go hand in hand.

“Imaginif…personal development and child community protection were serious business”

For Megan, it is. Megan has leveraged her experience as a parent and her experience in social work and therapy to develop an innovative program to empower children and keep them safe. She has coupled that with an innovative work at home program, one which she invites everyone to participate in. The icing on the cake is her blogging and work in the realm of personal development—something you can benefit from on its own, or in combination with these other components.

Altogether Megan Bayliss is doing some very important work, work that we all need to be aware of as people who care for and about children (whether you are a parent or not). Her business also gives her a way to extend that important work far beyond her own scope. Whether you subscribe to the business end of her blog or not, there is more here that you need to know, and more that you can do to better the lives of children as you better yourself.

Summing Up Imaginif

Megan’s work and her blog create an interesting symbiosis of opportunity and awareness. It’s a whole lot of goodness all in one place, and an experience you need to have to fully understand it all. Take some time to explore Megan’s site and her blog, and see how much more you can do for yourself and young children everywhere.
