Just thought I'd share this website, some of you may have heard of them before, they have the Parenting magazine. My partners' company have been working on this site for the last few months and it has gone live today:

| Has anyone done a Toolbox course? We were thinking of doing one, but were wondering if it would be beneficial now cos Isla's only 6 months,..or should we wait til she older? |

Yeah actually we have.. it was really great! But it might pay to wait until Isla is a bit older, it was focused more on kids aged around 18 months+  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yeah I was told to wait until Maddie was a little older for a tool box course...but they also do fabulous marriage seminars. I've heard Ian Grant and also John Cowan do a number of talks at church about parenting and they were fabulous, i'm particulary a fan of John Cowan.
Can also highly recommend the mag.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I subscribe to Parenting (the Parents Inc. mag) and it's great, far more behaviour/lifestyle related than say Little Treasures which is full on commercial.
I love the Grants, I think they are just so inherently sensible. The kind of parents I *wish* I could be, which makes me a better parent coz I try to follow some of their examples. Watch this space tho, coz we have a few things in the pipeline with Parents Inc. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I think almost everyone who works there is Christian (definetly the Grants and John)and particular when I've heard John talk it has been Christian based but it's not a Christian programme as such, it is aimed at all parents and families weather they are married, defacto, divorced, solo, teenage....whatever the situation. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
