It
is with great pride that I am pleased to announce a series of
articles on Parenting and The President which are now
posted on my new blog, The Parenting Doc.
The first article appeared on August 18 and sets the
stage with an overview of why the president of the United States
needs to become a champion for making effective parenting and
parenting education national priorities. In that article I
share a National Effective Parenting Plan that will make it
possible for every parent to eventually receive the best parenting
education and support, and how the president can help to make that
happen.
Subsequent articles in the series, which will
also first appear on my blog, will be concerned with regular updates
on the progress that is being made in engaging President Obama in
these leadership activities. Also, stories will appear which
have to do with such matters as the role of government in assisting
parents in raising America's children, the history of such efforts,
and the need for a more focused and sustained
approach.
In
addition, I will be discussing the history of actions that
I and CICC and the National Effective Parenting Initiative (NEPI)
engaged in during the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations to
promote a national effective parenting
agenda.
Altogether, these articles will provide
an inside look at what is and has been done in our nation to provide
parents with the status and education to carry out the most
important endeavor of any country, the effective and sensitive
rearing and guidance of its young.
Much of this
information has never been available for public consumption.
By going to my blog and subscribing, you will be
able to not only receive every article written but also be able to
comment on making America an even more wonderful place to raise
children.
You
can also become personally involved and supportive by taking out a
membership in NEPI, the National Effective Parenting
Initiative. Your membership dues are not only used to provide
the member benefits but to also support the various advocacy actions
that are needed to bring these important matters to the attention of
the president and the public in general. This entire effort is
of a grassroots nature and membership dues, and funds that have been
contributed to CICC over the years, are the only monies that are
supporting it now.
There are three membership programs
with different benefits and fees:
Parent Memberships
Professional Memberships
Organization Affiliate
Memberships
For
those of you who want to make a financial contribution but do not
want to become members of NEPI, you can support this grassroots
effort by making a tax-deductible contribution to CICC.
