Breaking Up With Attachment Parenting: My Coming Out Story




Raising Primates show

Summary: Wow...well this is awkward. Today on the podcast I share why I'm leaving Attachment Parenting philosophy behind for good. This may come as a shock to many of you who found my podcast specifically for getting support in your parenting practices. What I'm hoping to provide you with is the courage to believe that families, especially mothers, are always doing the best for their child and themselves, and that this looks SO different for every family, and always has ...and that's ok! Through hearing my story, I hope that perhaps you will challenge your own thinking and beliefs about what brings about healthy and content children (and parents!)
