Our 6th Annual Ezzo Week(end) 2009
Posted by TulipGirl | Under GFI / Ezzo / Babywise Thursday Jul 16, 2009Once again, it’s time for the TulipGirl annual Ezzo Week blog-a-thon!
As always, Ezzo Week here corresponds with Gary Ezzo’s Growing Families International National Conference slash Leadership and Parenting Symposium. This year the conference will be held in Cleveland, OH, from July 16th through July 18th, 2009 (with a mini-conference in Houston in the fall).
While this Ezzo Week annual event will be somewhat abridged this year, we still encourage you to join in! Blog about your own Ezzo experiences, chime in here at TulipGirl, or join the conversation over at the AwareParent discussion board.
Why do we do this?
It’s not about blaming parents.
It’s about families that are still struggling with the repercussions of adopting man-made ideas which are marketed as “Biblical” principles. It’s about moms who want to breastfeed, but can’t because they are taught a routine that is “best” for baby but contradicts they way breastfeeding is designed. It’s about parents who want to do the best for their children, but get wrapped up in bondage and lose sight of the Gospel.
It is about Gospel-focused parenting, freedom in parenting, and encouraging mothers and fathers.

I have not seen this! Thank you for offering a balanced perspective.
thank you for your continuing concern for moms who care enough to try to be the very best. thank you for alerting them to the pitfalls of a parenting doctrine that may ambush their intentions. may your readers be wide and many and grasp the heart of your previous Ezzo weeks and writings.

It’s not just about the content of the material, though in areas is off, but it’s about the Ezzo’s character or lack of.
Jesus asked the disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” Jesus was the son of God, but he wanted them to say who He was because of the things they had seen.
Ask anyone on church staff at Grace Community Church during Ezzo’s time & “Who would they say Gary & Anne Marie?”
Just something to ponder.
Okay, TG. You have inspired me. This year, I’ll blog a little on my take on it all: http://sortacrunchy.typepad.com/sortacrunchy/2009/07/points-to-pick-with-ezzo-part-1.html
