Welcome to a new monthly feature for the Parenting Pit… The Pit Stop, which will highlight wonderful parenting sites & resources around particular themes each month.
I wanted to kick off the first Pit Stop with two sites from other Dads, although the content is relevant to all parents:
SCOTT NOELLE’S ENJOY PARENTING
If you have been around non coercive/ mindful parenting/ unschooling sites or egroups you hopefully already know about Scott’s Daily Groove emails. If not subscribe to the Daily Groove here and get regular short tips on being mindful and joyous in your parenting and life. Given how many he writes I am amazed at the number of gems Scott manages to come up with. Scott’s emails are short, to the point and often suggest practical approaches to concretely impact on your day. Scott also offers parental coaching from his site which I have not experienced but I suspect would be very powerful.
BOB COLLIER’S PARENTAL INTELLIGENCE
The strength of this site is its ability to plug you into a range of thinkers and writers in the alternative parenting world. Bob has edited two free ebooks entitled “Guiding Stars of the New Parenting Movement” volume 1 and 2. Between them they include bios and articles from the likes of Jan Hunt, Pam Leo, Alfie Kohn, Naomi Aldort, Scott Noelle and many, many more. Did I mention they were free!?!! Thanks Bob! Also subscribe to Bob’s monthly newsletter that collects interesting and current articles around parenting from all over the web.
Stay tuned for more Pit Stop’s next month…


I’ll head over first think next week and see what the sites are all about. Thanks for the heads up
