About Ezzo.info

About This Site

There are many purposes that I hope this site serves.

Primarily, I hope that it serves as a valuable resource for parents who are interested in information about the Ezzo method of parenting, hence the name www.ezzo.info. What I mean by Ezzo method is the method that Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo (and Robert Bucknam) advocate in their books, tapes and parenting courses. The most well known of these are Babywise, Growing Kids God's Way and Preparation for Parenting.

Of course, there are some who, because I am a critic of the Ezzo method, will discount what I would write. Because of that I tend to not write very much at all, but would rather just provide links to what others have written and, in many cases, host the files myself.

Some other critics of the Ezzo method would rather me not provide direct links to www.gfi.org, the website of Gary Ezzo's company that promotes his parenting materials written for Christians. While I respect that point of view, I would rather parents have full information before they make any decisions, even if some of that information is advocating ideas I may not agree with.

Other questions one might have about this site are probably covered in the Frequently Asked Questions page. If you have any questions not covered there, please don't hesitate to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

    "It is dangerous to do it the way he describes," Pediatrician Dr. Rosemary Shy says of Ezzo's technique. "It puts these babies at risk for jaundice, at risk for dehydration, and at risk for failing to thrive, all of which we’ve seen."

  • Ezzo.info Notes With Sorrow... +

    Ezzo.info notes with sorrow the passing of Michael Mahurin, aka "Metochoi," a pastor who became concerned about the Ezzos' teachings on parenting when he encountered parents, even in his own flock, who believed that following the Ezzos' teachings was the only faithful approach to Christian parenting. Pastor Mike responded by vigorously teaching biblical hermeneutics, logic, and core Christian doctrines like grace and law, both in his congregation and in online discussions. A gifted teacher with an irrepressible sense of humor, Metochoi equipped many Christian parents to use basic biblical hermeneutics

  • An Open Letter about the EzzoTruth Site +

    Summary of This Open Letter

    A site called Ezzotruth.com portrays authors Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo as victims of attacks on their parenting programs and personal character by unprincipled people. Because many of the accusations at the site have been discussed in the past, Ezzo.info simply suggests two things to consider: whether the Ezzos’ claims of victimhood at the hands of numerous reputable Christian leaders are believable and whether the results in the Ezzos’ own family support their teaching. The debate is wearying, but it is crucial to the Christian
