Parents Forum

What we are:

  • Parents who can think for ourselves
  • Parents who want to bring up our children without being lectured to
  • Parents who want our children’s horizons broadened, not narrowed
  • Parents who are fed up of being treated like children


The Parents forum is an initiative aimed at parents and other individuals who are critical of the knee jerk reaction to most domestic issues that it is the parents or family to blame.

The forum started in October 2006 and so far discussions have looked at: is modern society dangerous for children?, the obsession with healthy eating, breast feeding and what is positive or negative about the family today.

If you feel this sounds like you and you would like an opportunity to discuss parenting issues the Parents Forum is holding a series of discussions.
