Attachment Parenting International
I mentioned last week that having support is a huge benefit to parents practicing attachment parenting. Unfortunately many people live in areas where there might not be a lot of local support for parents to have. Where I live most people have never heard of attachment parenting, or see it as something negative based on stereotypes rather than what it is for. That is why having an online support team can be a huge benefit. People who can give encouragement and advice from the same view point as you. One place where parents can connect with others is Attachment Parenting International.
Attachment Parenting International (API), a non-profit organization that promotes parenting practices that create strong, healthy emotional bonds between children and their parents, has several exciting changes they would like to announce, including:
- A newly redesigned web site and new logo at Attachment Parenting.org;
- Attachment parenting worldwide support forums;
- Parent Education Program - a comprehensive series of classes for every stage and age of child development from infancy through adulthood;
- A new book based on API’s Eight Principles of Attachment Parenting by API co-founders Lysa Parker and Barbara Nicholson which is expected to be available this summer;
- A series of podcasts, webinars, chats, and forums with API Advisory Board members and other supporters of AP. Future events are scheduled with Dr. Bob Sears, Dr. James McKenna, and Kathleen Kendall Tacket. Check out the events page for more information.
These are just a few of many exciting things going on at API. I hope you’ll stop by and check it out for yourself.
