I truly believe that my children will step out on their own and be much more confident when they do because I allowed them to do it in their own time, on their own terms - rather than pushing them away. Sasha is a great example of that. In some instances (usually at home, actually) she is ATTACHED to me - or at least wants ME to be the one to solve whatever problem she has. When we're out, though, she is confident and feels safe to wander off and talk to new people.Momma Jorjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17736034293320117257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776276231017030003.post-53428193906606857552012-11-19T11:41:41.122-08:002012-11-19T11:41:41.122-08:00Any form of parenting is a choice that each parent...Any form of parenting is a choice that each parent(s) must make for their child.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344269538670419413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776276231017030003.post-75350647520216848732012-11-18T21:10:33.099-08:002012-11-18T21:10:33.099-08:00Great postGreat postLorinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287714135316959358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776276231017030003.post-10614754216643282292012-11-15T14:38:19.440-08:002012-11-15T14:38:19.440-08:00It's a little ironic how some AP is often prac...It's a little ironic how some AP is often practiced by moms who don't know they're doing it.

I don't want to judge, but I've read some of these message boards and it pains me to see Mothers pleading "I buy him all the chocolate he wants and it's the only thing he eats but he's so cranky and miserable, am I doing something wrong?" lol ummm yikes! <br />I think there's always a happy medium and I'd say AP is pretty good. I actually hate that it has to have a special label, it should just be "parenting", but I know not everyone parents that way I guess. <br />I've considered myself AP since I was first pregnant in 1999 and found Dr. Sears The Baby Book and everything made sense.<br />I'm not perfect by any means, I'm not always positive and my words are not always gentle lol. But I try.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745197451972286271noreply@blogger.com
