We believe that positive discipline starts with the child feeling secure and reassured starting in infancy. Any kind of bond formed between the child and parent (whether it is by breastfeeding, co-sleeping or being held) can only be beneficial to the discipline process. But like I mentioned in my previous post not all moms feel that this is an issue and that is perfectly understandable. It was just important for the ladies in our group to take suggestions from someone who shared similar child rearing beliefs. Tiffany,

I wan't aware of that but really don't see the connection between co-sleeping/extended breastfeeding and discipline....I am surprised it was an issue. I think positive discipline is important for attachment parents though. Thanks for the feedback Cyn.

However, I am a little conflicted on Ms. Nelsen's work. Although I actually read “Positive Discipline for the First Three Years" book and not the preschooler one …some of her ideas surprised me. I know this book never claims to be pro attachment parenting, but a lot of us “green” moms tend to practice this approach. In her book Ms. Nelsen is not fond of co-sleeping and extended breast feeding which went against the grain of a lot of the moms in my book club. Just some food for thought!! So for those rushing out to purchase this book they may want to consider this point-if those values are important to their families. Otherwise keep up the great work Tiffany!
