Pearent.com--A Parenting Website

There are lots of parents who want to be awesome parents. But how do you become an awesome parent?

You can read a lot of books by people like Alfie Kohn, Steven Covey, and Marshall Rosenberg, etc. But that takes a lot of time, you have to be sitting down and have your eyes open--parents find this challenging. You can send your child to a school that shares your parenting philosophy. But these schools are uncommon and you're also probably paying a hefty fee for private school tuition. You could go to parenting classes, get a sitter, coordinate schedules with your partner, change out of your favorite sweatpants, and pay more money. You could search for parenting education online, but there is inadequate information about becoming an awesome parent in this respectful, empathic philosophy.

But don't despair Soon you will be able to go to Pearent.com for interactive, online parent education.
