Hi Peggy! |

12:11:15 |
PeggyO |
I'm the mother of four children, Lally (30), Finnie (28), Bram
(26) and Nora (22). They have taught me everything. In 1980 I
was lucky enough to take over ownership of Mothering magazine by
just making monthly payments. |

Hi Peggy! I
love Mothering Magazine! I give it to all my students. (I'm a
Bradley teacher in CA) |
|
12:12:24 |
PeggyO |
The mag was started by Addie Eavenson. Its' grown so much and
I've tried to figure it out as I've gone along. I'm very happy
with the magazine and the website. When I bought the mag in 1980
we had a circulation of 3000. Now 250,000 read each copy. We're
getting these great ideas out to more families. |
|
12:12:26 |
HeatherE |
Oh Peggy, I
met you at an lll conference in Connecticut a few years back.
I totally bawled- you are such an inspitation for me as a mother
and a doula... |
|
12:12:36 |
Ms._Mom |
Was Marion
Cohen the original owner? |

12:13:04 |

sorry
ladies, i crashed...i'm back |
|
12:13:10 |
Webmama_Tina |
on my
husbands zippier computer |
|
12:13:16 |
PeggyO |
I often feel unworthy of this adulation because I'm just a mom
like you all trying to figure out things everyday. But, I do
have this history now and so much to share for years of my own
experience as well as hearing the stories of other
mothers. |
|
12:13:22 |
Webmama_Tina |
i mean i'm
now on my dh's computer, so that shouldn't happen again |

I only

mag yet...but I am so happy I found so many others out there
like me :) |

12:14:25 |
PeggyO |
Adeline Eavenson was the original owner. She founded Mothering
in 1976 in Ridway, Colorado and she lives near there in Paonia
now. Marion Cohen was one of the first poets we published. She
still lives in Cleveland, but we have not published her work in
awhile. Like me, her kids are grown. |

Peggy, In
your editorial, Wake Up" (a while back now) you stated something
to the effect of ..We as childbirth educators have failed by
offering natural childbirth as just another choice instead of
the best choice..." |
|
12:15:33 |
Ms._Mom |
I met
Marion Cohen 10 years ago at a Pregnancy and Infant Loss
conference, she moved me deeply - that's how I found Mothering. |

Peggy,
really, you are such an inspiration. Your words and dedication
to the magazine, your books, have all been so encouraging. It is
so hard to live in mainstream society today without getting
sucked in. I feel like I am constantly met with resistence. I |
|
12:16:05 |

ok this is
what i have right now.....onekid02 is our first person in line
for a question |
|
12:16:20 |
onekid02 |
I love your
magazine. Do you have any advice on parenting an only child? Do
you see any issues to be concerned and aware of as our little
babies grow ? |

how can i
get in line for a question? |

I just
wanted to comment (meant to write in) that we (Bradley teachers)

serious complication) |

Webmama_Tina Webmama_Tina Hi is the general chat over?
first time in chat room, got an email that there'd be a chat |
|
12:18:38 |
PeggyO |
I try not to buy into these stereotypes. All families have
strengths and weaknesses. I think the main issue would not to
give your child the impression he or she is the center of the
universe -- your universe, of course -- but being with other
children helps, relatives and just being careful not to make
your child too precious. We have to watch that no matter how
many children we have. |

I am
considering the Montessori school for my only child, will that
make her feel more isolated? |
|
12:20:48 |
Webmama_Tina |
it is
currently onekids turn...so only her and peggy should be talking |
|
12:21:38 |
onekid02 |
Do you have
any resources or books that you recommend on raising an only?? |
|
12:21:40 |
PeggyO |
I don't think any form of education in itself would make a child
feel isolated. Feeling isolated has more to do with lack of
community. If your child makes friends and likes the community
of her school and you do, then she will probably feel less
isolated. If she has friends in other schools, she can see them
after school and on weekends anyway. |
