| Is parenthood on your mind? |
NewParentalk is for:
|
| A smoother, more enjoyable transition |
The aim of NewParentalk is to assist men and women in sorting out the lifestyle and relationship changes associated with having a child. Together we'll explore ways you can make the transition with greater ease, awareness and confidence. |
| The inner life of a new parent |
As you embark on this new life direction, you may experience varying degrees of inner turmoil – excitement, worry, possibly fear. Who can you discuss that with? Indeed, who wants to listen? NewParentalk's focus is on this inner landscape – the things we feel and say about parenthood. Here's your chance to talk about it with others who will be interested in what you have to say, because they're going through it too. |
| Parenthood as a process |
Within this site the word "parenthood" is defined as a new phase of your life – a process over a period of time. When does it begin? When does it end? |
| An opportunity to learn from each other |
The opportunity provided by this site, given that the Internet is a global community, is the potential cultural diversity of views and experiences of new parents. By exploring a variety of opinions and options, you can discover ways to design parenthood to suit your particular values and lifestyle. |
| Explorers of a new frontier |
Together we're exploring a new frontier. Who has mapped the internal landscape of becoming a parent for the first time? Perhaps it is totally unique for each of us, perhaps men and women experience it differently, or perhaps there is some common ground that will be unearthed as this site develops over time. I extend my personal welcome to you, as my partner in this exploration, and look forward to what we'll reveal together.
