I am now an administrator for a group! Very exciting. I figure I have the free time to help and maybe it will keep me out of some of the drama post on Cafemom that I have a bad habit of getting myself sucked into. Anyways, we need members. It is a brand new group for AP mammas!

Check it out! Sensible Parenting

What is AP?

Proponents of the Attachment Parenting philosophy attempt to foster a secure bond with their children by promoting eight principles. These principles are goals for parents to strive to accomplish.

1. Preparation for Pregnancy, Birth, and Parenting
2. Feed with Love and Respect
3. Respond with Sensitivity
4. Use Nurturing Touch
5. Engage in Nighttime Parenting
6. Provide Consistent Loving Care
7. Practice Positive Discipline
8. Strive for Balance in Personal and Family Life

These values are interpreted in a variety of ways across the movement. Dr. Sears does not require a parent to strictly follow any set of rules, instead he encourages parents to be creative in responding to their child's needs.
