The Little Lion and Lioness

I loved reading things like this that reassure the way I am raising my child. When we had our first sin I had never heard of attachment parenting. I agreed to give breastfeeding a go because my husband asked me to.

He hoped that it would reduce the chance of our baby developing the rare skin condition he has. I thank God that I agreed. It has totally changed our lives. Obviously since then I have read a lot about attachment parenting. We cosleep with our second son and alrhough our first son wanted his own room my hubby still lies with him til he falls asleep most nights. Everyone says how happy our children are and all we have dobe is listen to them!

I have been one of those people with a troubled past. I was not put into foster care, but probably should have. Luckily, I was blessed with a step father who is now my best friend. He answered every need since I met him at 7 years old. Now, I have 2 beautiful girls that have every need met at every minute of the day.

She is the smartest child I have ever met and I can only hope that her little sister who is only 3 weeks old as of yet will be half as smart. Thank you for writing this! I love that someone else parents as I do. It is very annoying to hear everyone else tell us to let our kids cry and figure things out on their own. I just blogged about this same topic myself recently! See what you think: I have five kids ranging from I breastfed, co-slept, and babywore all of them. They are attached, good children.

I totally agree with you and I am one of the few that have chosen to do all that it takes to give Brooke the best life and childhood that I can.

I have chosen to listen to and respond to all of her cries, and to snuggle her whenever possible unlike the way my caregivers did with me. And I have seen the benefits unfolding. I am an AP parent and social worker as well. I used to believe, as you do, that the cry it out method was the worse of all evils.

Why would anyone do that to their baby? My thoughts have changed a bit on this subject as well as many others on parenting after watching so many of my friends use different types of parenting methods to raise their children. I have one friend, very attachment oriented, who chose though to sleep train her son. It hurt my heart to hear she was doing this but for her sleeping alone with her husband was very important to her mental health.

So at 5 months old she started and by 6 months he was sleeping beautifully. The child is now my sons age, 4, and he is not detached or disconnected. Quite the opposite in fact. He is very empathetic, loving, kind and compassionate. Just as much as my son. The sleep training did not impact his trust in adults, not as much as I can see. Perhaps it was because she AP parented all the hours he was awake just setting clear boundaries around bedtime.

Perhaps he learned quickly that this is the way life is in his home and figured he might as well learn to sleep on his own! Looking now at her sons sleep behavior vs. The book Born For Love by Bruce Perry is a great read for those looking to help foster empathy in their children as well as children they may work with. Perry makes many recommendations on how to help this part of the brain develop and interestingly enough he states that he is not recommending AP!

Probably because he feels that in order to raise emotionally intelligent, empathetic children on does not need to wear their child 24 hours or sleep with their child. Again my thoughts on these issues are ever changing. As my child develops i can see with a little more clarity how my past decisions may have impacted him. Like you said my child is my teacher and as long as we keep our eyes, ears and minds open the learning process continues.

I was reading this blog intently, nodding my head the whole time until I got to this sentence: I always was different from my family though. Already have an account? Share this image Share link Copy link.
