Home School Curriculum For Attachment Parenting
I know that not all AP parents choose to home school, but many do take that route. For those that do the bonding process and family attachment seem like logical first steps towards homeschooling, often the often misunderstood style of unschooling.
Being an AP parent who chooses to home school my sons as well means that I am often looking for material that fit our lifestyle without being too light in necessary areas. I would say that we are probably 90% unschoolers with a sprinkling of this and that mixed together. A few weeks ago a friend sent me a set of Oak Meadow books for homeschooling parents and I was delighted to read how close the style is to Attachment Parenting.
From what I have read bonding is seen as very important, with touching them and talking with them as valuable parenting traits. Loving our children unconditionally is also stressed, as well as looking deeply at our children and what is truly happening behind the outward appearances we see. Just reading the teacher’s books I can already see why Oak Meadow curriculum is often a huge hit among those who follow Attachment Parenting.
Though I’ve put a pause in reading the books I wanted to share what I’ve read so far. I would definitely recommend this to parents who what some structure, but not too much, in their day. Even families choosing not to home school would gain something from reading one of the main parent’s books: The Heart of Learning. It would be a great resource for understanding how your children are learning and how to help them absorb more from their school.
