Oh Those Little Ones

If you work with the wee bairns this one is for you!  While the theory applies to all ages, if you are needing a few fresh ideas for the little ones, this handout will assist.  And while there are activities in the handout, please please please remember it's never ever about the activities; it is about the caring, the connecting, the relationships and attachment! If those ingredients are missing, it doesn't matter how pretty the room is or how much stuff you got! #handouts #care #relationships #DAP #teaching #theorists

Why Attachment Parenting Is Not the Same as Secure Attachment
2018

In my infant workshops I often remind the audience that attachment parenting (as a style) is different than understanding the theory of attachment. This article, which successfully outlines the differences between the two, is one of the best I have ever read. Additionally, in an age/stage format, it provides a sidebar overview of what secure attachment looks like. Whether you are working with 0-3 age group or not, this is a very important article to have at your fingertips!  #DAP #teaching #learning #parenting #relationships #zerotothree
