Attachment Parenting
Attachment parenting is getting a lot of attention in the news lately, but many people who might be familiar with the term aren’t really sure what attachiment parenting is all about.
The term, “attachment parenting”, was conceived by pediatrician William Sears and his wife Martha, to describe a highly responsive, attentive style of caring for a child. Attachment parenting promotes physical and emotional closeness between parent and child through what the Sears refer to as the “Baby B’s.” The Baby B’s are bonding, breatfeeding, babywearing, bedsharing and boundary building.
