I have a 1 year old and have already turned to book reviews on the internet to find different parenting techniques. Thanks for the great review! I am always looking to read new books on parenting.

Adult children dont live near their families and many hardly talk. I think in the future we will see a difference in the families that did practice attachment parenting. Other cultures, practice attachment parenting and their families are so much closer. I think in general our parents made mistakes in trying to raise independent children.

I practiced total 'attachment parenting' with my first child. She loved motion, I would bounce her (on the exercise ball holding her) and take her with me everywhere (baby wearing) Now she is 2 and we have found that she has some sensory issues- she loves movement and pressure (like ruff and tumble play, being held tightly) I was basically parenting by instinct - which of course I think is best. I am also a massage therapist, so massage helps her a lot with some of the sensory issues she has. I assumed things would be similar with my son. He simply does not want to be held as much as my daughter did. He loves to laugh and play on his own - does a lot of moving on the floor (something my daughter never liked) He is so completely content I just know what I am doing is right. We co-sleep and I am breastfeeding- that seems to be enough for him and he actually gets overstimulated if I try to hold him too much (yet I can sense when he likes to be held). So I guess as a parent I just follow my instinct and all babies are different. I am not a 'by the book' type of person, but I really like having a reference so when the Grandparents say we were spoiling I could point them to 'studies' lol - just one less thing I had to worry about:) Sounds like a great book!
