Pediatrician Matthew Aney, MD has developed this printer-friendly collection of files mainly oriented to medical concerns with Ezzo methods.
Dear Concerned Parent:
Many families and churches have been negatively
affected by the Growing Families International parenting
program developed by Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo. If
you have a particular question you'd like to ask
about this program, please
email me.
