The concept of "attachment parenting"-a term originally coined by parenting experts William and Martha Sears-has increasingly been validated by research in many fields of study, such as child development, psychology, and neuroscience. Over the years, it had been slowly replaced by a more detached parenting style-a style that is now believed by experts to be a lead contributing factor to suicide, depression, and violence. In this controversial book, readers will gain much needed insight into childrearing while learning to trust the intuitive knowledge of their child, ultimately building a strong foundation that will strengthen the parent-child bond.Ĭontrary to popular belief, "attachment parenting" has been practiced in one form or another since recorded history. And while it is understood that there is no such thing as perfect parenting, research suggests that there is a strong correlation between a heightened sense of respect, empathy, and affection in those children raised the "attachment parenting" way. A crying baby is comforted and kept close to parents for protection. In its most basic form, "attachment parenting" is instinctive. Attached at the Heart offers readers practical parenting advice for the modern age. ![]() ![]() Rooksgrave Manor's defenses against its peculiar guests are failing, the wards are disintegrating, and Esther's brand-new, exquisitely pleasurable life might collapse as a result.
