Connecting with Other Moms

A friend of mine turned me on to a terrific new site for moms called The Skinny Scoop which allows you to ask questions (get the “skinny”) or answer questions (give the “scoop”) on any subject. Lots of fun and super helpful when you want to poll other moms about things like the going rate for the tooth fairy, whether you really need a diaper bag, or how much you should tip when you order takeout from a restaurant. It’s also fun to be able to share your hard-earned wisdom – what else can you do with all your toddler birthday party ideas once your kids are in elementary school?

"Connected Parenting advises us not just how to parent, but—far more important—who to be as parents. The therapeutic methods suggested by Jennifer Kolari are based not on simple-minded behavioural solutions, but on building warm, nurturing relationships with our children, with insight and compassion not only for their little flaws, but also for our own larger ones."
—Gabor Maté, M.D.

"A must read for parents, educators, and any other adults who want to connect in a deeply caring and positive way with the children in their lives."
—Barbara Coloroso
