My observation would just be to be very, very suspicious of anyone who thinks they have all of the answers when it comes to parenting. While scripture gives us much guidance, there is no man-made, foolproof formula for raising godly, healthy children. Anything that sets itself up as judgmental and narrow is probably not of God. I am not picking on just the Ezzo stuff here, though it certainly qualifies, but I see this on both ends of the spectrum. Recently, in an online discussion where one of the participants was an avid Attachment Parent-er, she referred to strollers as “dumb”, I guess not realizing that that sounds an awful lot like “using strollers is dumb” or “dumb people use strollers” and then offered up some questionable hypothesis that strollers cause or are linked to developmental delays. :roll:

Okay, she is entitled to decide whether or not to place her child in a stroller or not, but perhaps should also realize that many many millions of parents raised children using strollers as one device of conveyance, with no apparent harm at all, through many decades. It’s okay to do what one feels convicted to do with regard to raising one’s own children, but it’s not necessary to call anyone else’s innocuous choices into question in order to validate one’s own viewpoint.

I find this trend divisive, no matter which side of the aisle it appears on. It makes me almost grateful that the internet was not available to me when my children were babies.
