  • Time and space does not permit for me to be able to explain all the wrong and misguided assumptions underlying "Attachment parenting". Suffice it to say, that structure and discipline brings security and confidence to a child. They need to know that they are not the boss, and that they will not always get to decide what they want to do, and when they want to do it. As usual, there are elements that are commendable and laudatory about how to relate to your child. But, letting them decide......

  • @dgrove21 I understand you thoughts perfectly here, however I strongly agree. We live in a society of detachment, where it is acceptable and encouraged to distance yourself from your children physically as well as emotionally. How well really can we make accurate decisions for them if we are not connected to them? Structure is important, as is discipline, however physically harming your child can have negative results and it has been proven you can get compliance by communicating with your child

  • I would love to see a day in your life and how you and your sons day goes.i know its busy with a toddler but i would just like to see how it goes....really interested in AP seems like such a beautiful thing!

  • This is great! Attachment parenting dosn't have to end at school age. I didn't learn about attachment parenting until my oldest turned five. Now I'm making up for lost time by unschooling, another great way to nurture attachment.

  • Thank you for this, I'm the mother of a 9 week old who I'm demand breast feeding and I've decided to follow his cues (not letting him have to cry before his needs are met, etc) and being present as much as he needs me. He is the happiest baby I've ever met and cries less than 10-15 mins a day. I'm finding it hard to find ALOT of info about this, though there seems to be alot of negative info....so thanks for reminding me why I'm doing this...
