Attachment Parernting Article

While there are some things that don't completely work for our family, we are mostly AP. I like the belief that children need to be handled firmly but gently and in many cases I've seen these methods work a lot better than punitive discipline. Now, I'm not saying that I will not parent and that my child will get away with misbehaving. However, I think it's important to recognize which behaviors are age appropriate before reprimanding. Children go through stages at every age and need to be redirected to learn acceptable behavior.

With that being said a mom in my AP group posted this article and I really like it
