Effective Parenting Online Support Group

The National Center for Biblical Parenting offers closed email Effective Parenting Support Groups. These groups provide you with a support system as you grow in your parenting and find solutions for working with your kids. You'll be able to post prayer requests, get advice from other parents, discuss child related and parenting issues, and offer and receive encouragement from other parents.

Parents need answers but are also greatly encouraged when they hear other people's challenges and struggles, especially when progress and breakthroughs occur. You'll find this group an integral part of your life and a great source of strength as you engage in the toughest job in the world – parenting.

The group is a closed group, only allowing people into the group who have been authorized. A moderator oversees the group to make sure people feel welcome and that members follow the guidelines.

Here's how it works:

First choose the group you'd like to join:

1 • Infant/Toddler Group
2 • Preschool Group
3 • Elementary Age Group
4 • Teen Group

Read the Guidelines for Groups and the How to Be a Good Group Member pages to make sure that you understand and agree with what the group is all about. By joining the group you are agreeing to the guidelines described on these pages.

Next, register with the National Center for Biblical Parenting. You can purchase your membership for one year right here on the web. The cost is $25 per year. You must sign up with the email address you'll use for the group.

As soon as the moderator makes you active you will begin receiving emails from the group. You may hit reply to any email to send your message to the group and begin interacting. Keep in mind that you're entering a group in process and may not understand what people are talking about at first. It won't take long though, before you get up speed with the rest of the group since new topics are introduced on a regular basis.

It's that easy.
