Review for Nurturings (Attachment Parenting International), Bristol, TN, USA
I have been volunteering with API for over twenty years, since shortly after I found them and began receiving education and support. I had learned about attachment in my psychology graduate program, and I found when I became a parent that while the professionals knew a lot about what children need in terms of attachment-promoting care, the culture was telling parents things that were not supported by research. Things that would put distance in the parent-child relationship. When I found API, and saw that it was bridging the gap between what parents were told and what the research showed, I knew I needed to be a part of their efforts. Through my involvement with API, I have grown so much as a parent and as a professional helping parents.
