I read the API Speaks blog regularly. It is fun to read the experiences of Moms so passionate about the principles of attachment parenting. Not usual to find Dads writing or commenting on this blog, so I feel a little strange writing a post for the AP month 2009 blog carnival.

I completely agree on the safety aspect. I find a lot of people have a misconception that attachment parenting means anything goes. That is not true. I do insist that my kids stay safe and I will use a sharp tone of voice or physically move them if they are getting into danger. I do it for their safety. I will not, however, spank them, insult them, or punish them for being curious. I will try to teach them to be safe, but curiosity is not something that I punish. I think that is where I sometimes differ, as an AP mom, from some more mainstream parenting practices. What a beautiful post! I completely agree on the safety aspect.

I'll be passing it on to all of the parents I know. So many times, attachment parenting ideas and actions, or even affectionate parenting ideas, are assigned only to moms. That is not only untrue, but also demeaning to the awesome dads out there. Thanks especially for the reminder to Be Present. I'll try to convince my husband to try some time without his iPhone.
