What
is Positive / Attachment Parenting?
Positive Parenting for many families, varies in form. This may be because
of the core or what positive parenting is all about. That is, respecting
our children and the wonderful blessings they are, and nurturing them.
For some, positive/attachment parenting may include: the family bed; "extended"
breast feeding/nursing; home schooling; etc.
