Attachment Parenting

The website, http://www.attachmentparenting.org, is a helpful website explaining the importance of attachment during the first three years and its positive effects to child development. Infants thrive when they have a close, trusting, and strong bond between mother, father, and caregiver. Any person(s) giving care to a new infant can use this site to learn about how to emotionally attach to a baby and how to understand the needs of the baby. It is important to respond to the baby's every need and to do it in a timely manner. This will ensure trust and a healthy development between baby and caregiver. Newborns can bond to a number of people in the first year. Consistency and a nurturing environment are key. A toddler with a strong bond with its mother or father will be a well-behaved baby and a happier one too. This website has eight principals on how to bond effectively and ensure trust between baby and caregiver. If any one has any comments about this website or know of any other websites related that can be of use, would be really appreciated.

    Im glad this article is useful for you and your co-teachers. I have worked in a toddler room for many years. I just started working in an infant room a couple months ago and I did some research to update myself on infant care. This article help me a lot!
