Being inspired by them is one thing but to say "I am an attachment parent" like it is the only way is weird to me. Like it's some parenting manual, which we all know does not exist. Yes, my boys are very different and have required different responses since day one.

I agree the terms are useful for informing, but not dividing us. Sometimes people wear these labels like medals of honor, like they are better parents for it. I don't personally believe in any particular method as the only way to parent, however I am inspired by things I read. The funny thing is, I didn't know these terms but was following them intuitively (like ecological breastfeeding, attachment parenting, etc.).happynikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730082505038569248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1875682281370083357.post-37052752246112202332012-04-04T16:16:54.861-07:002012-04-04T16:16:54.861-07:00I love these thoughts and really agree. There is s...I love these thoughts and really agree. There is so much pressure to fit our parenting styles into some school of thought and then to "do" that style 100%. I know you are not at all saying that it doesn't matter how we parent...but rather that it matters most that we parent with the specific needs of our small individual(s) in mind. Even two different babes in one family might need dramatically different approaches. Good for you, Mama. I am sure you are doing your very best!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17097246518117554538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1875682281370083357.post-11207493223370086032012-04-04T16:03:59.460-07:002012-04-04T16:03:59.460-07:00I dunno, personally I think it does matter how we ...I dunno, personally I think it does matter how we parent and though labels don't suit everyone to a tee, they are helpful shorthand for where your values lie when discussing it with others.Alyssa Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113400463865991848noreply@blogger.com
