Ep. 60 - What's Wrong with Attachment Parenting (part 1)

Send us a text

It's time to talk about attachment parenting. And more specifically, is it any good? Attachment parenting is a method developed by William and Marth Sears, and is a very popular parenting method these days. Attachment parenting followers focus on a close relationship with the baby and developing sensitive communication with it.

Sounds good, no? But the problem is that attachment parenting has its flaws, and it's time to talk about them. This is why I created this podcast episode, which turned out so long I had to split it in two. So this is part 1, where you'll learn what attachment parenting is, what are the Seven Baby Bs (fundamental principles) of the method, and how it came to be. In the next episode, I'll talk about why I think attachment parenting is not really what you need if you want to create a secure attachment with your children.
