About meAttachment Parenting (also known as "instinctive" or "natural" parenting) develops and meets a child's need for trust, empathy and love in order to create secure, peaceful and enduring relationships. This requires consistent, loving and responsive caregivers, especially during the critical first three to five years of life.

Attachment Parenting principles encompass emotional responsiveness, informed and empowered childbirth, extended breastfeeding with child-led weaning, co-sleeping (or "the family bed"), unreserved comforting, baby wearing (using a sling or suitable baby carrier) and positive discipline.

By promoting and maintaining a close attachment with our children we are recognizing and meeting biological human bonding needs. Other related issues include home education, home birth, natural health, conscious living and maintaining balanced family lives.

About my libraryThis library is a collection of texts about Attachment Parenting and associated philosophies. Topics include but are not limited to: Attachment Theory, Childbirth, Co-sleeping, Natural Health, Philosophy, Parenting, Education, Continuum Concept, Books for Children, Breastfeeding, and Conception/Pre-conception care.
