He is a high needs infant. I tried many philosophies and that one worked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attachment-parenting-and-generational-differences#post-155970 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:45:16 +0000 Honeybee 155970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Agreed. We follow the general philosophy of fostering a strong parent-child attachment, but how we put those philosophies into practice vary from some of the mainstream views on what attachment parenting "should" be. Kinda like my views on religion, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attachment-parenting-and-generational-differences#post-155955 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:39:42 +0000 Rock n Roll 155955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know that attachment parenting is such a new concept as much as it has been kind of branded and re-packaged as a new concept. I mean, my mom breastfed/co-slept/baby wore and she was born in 1956. I do the same thing, but it's mostly because it makes sense to me because it's how I was raised and what I saw her do with my younger siblings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attachment-parenting-and-generational-differences#post-155949 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:36:46 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 155949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And it's really a spectrum. I think that it's going a little overboard to never say the word "no" or not babyproof your house because you'll never be away from the child's side (just some of the more extreme interpretations of ap), but you can take as much or as little as works for you and your family :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attachment-parenting-and-generational-differences#post-155944 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:33:29 +0000 LivsMama 155944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: exactly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attachment-parenting-and-generational-differences#post-155933 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:25:23 +0000 Honeybee 155933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Lol, I think you're the latter. :) </p> <p>@LivsMama: Attachment parenting just happened to embody some of the parenting ideas/beliefs that felt natural to me. I believed in attachment parenting long before I knew there was a name for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attachment-parenting-and-generational-differences#post-155921 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:11:26 +0000 LivsMama 155921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt realize that I do a lot of attachment parenting techniques until I read more about it recently. Its just what happened to work for us and our situation </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attachment-parenting-and-generational-differences#post-155919 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:10:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 155919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm either an old hippie or young at heart :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attachment-parenting-and-generational-differences#post-155913 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:01:33 +0000 Honeybee 155913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this theory that attachment parenting is becoming more popular as those of the Millennial Generation come of age and start having kids because of Millennials unique beliefs about parent-child relationships and communication. So I thought I'd test my theory on HB. :)</p> <p>If you subscribe to attachment parenting ideals (you don't have to follow attachment parenting exactly, but if you identify with the attachment parenting movement or consider yourself an attachment parent) what year were you born? </p>
