I will be leaving to attend a wedding in Kansas, and then returning to Southern California for La Leche League's Western Division Conference. If any lactnetters are there, say hi to me! In the meantime, I need to go "no mail" so that I can get ready and don't come home to a flooded mail box. I'm still receiving inquiries on Ezzo stuff, and will gladly continue to fill them. Just as a reminder-- I have the transcript of the ABC World News Tonight story; I have the WORLD magazine article; <---Ezzo response to WORLD; <---Author's response to Ezzo; Position paper by "Barbara" (excellent!). I send these by email and by attached file. For additional insightful and helpful material, go to http://www.fix.net./~rprewett for additional articles that you can download yourself. You will need Adobe Acrobat, available through that site, or from AOL's software library, etc. in order to read and print them out. A lot has been written, and efforts are being made to make all these resources available to those in need so that we don't have to keep reinventing the wheel! ALSO-- Focus on the Family strengthened their statement against Growing Families curriculums after the WORLD article was published; you can obtain a copy of their statement directly from them. Partial quote: "because of XXX, we do not recommend this to our constituents........." AND....... the county of Orange in California received so many inquiries about potential child abuse as it related to the GFI curriculums that they actually put together a task force to do an official analysis. It included LC's, people with psych backgrounds, a pastor, etc. They reviewed each piece of curriculum, and then rated each piece against other known religious parenting curriculums. Very helpful! This is also available through the county or on the above cited website. (I just love the web when it comes to disseminating information easily. No more postage stamps!) -Lisa Marasco, LLLL, IBCLC
