From www.attachmentparenting.com " Attachment Parenting is a style of parenting that develops an infant or child's need for trust, empathy, and affection in order to create a secure, peaceful, and enduring relationship. This style requires a consistent, loving, and responsive caregiver, ideally a parent, especially during the critical first three years of life. In addition, we encourage parents to work towards the following attachment parenting " ideals " : Connect with your baby early. Read and respond sensitively to your baby's cues. Breastfeed your baby. Wear your baby (lots of close physical contact by holding or use of baby slings) Share sleep with your baby. Teach empathy through positive, non-violent methods of discipline. " Etc. One of my favourite AP sites is: http://www.gentleparenting.com/ And one that started it all off (the author of the book) is: http://www.continuum-concept.org/ A well known AP author much quoted and talked about amongst US " APers " is Granju: http://www.attachmentparent.com/ Dr. and Martha Sears are advocates of the Attachment Parenting style of parenting: http://www.askdrsears.com/ Others: http://www.empathicparenting.org/attach.htm http://www.alternativeparenting.com/ HTH ! -- Clare Lusher.
