[quote=Anonymous]Interesting read--thanks for sharing, OP. I wish the author had included consideration of Attachment Parenting, which was the big thing when my oldest was born, and which I think places outrageous pressure on mothers specifically. And I say that as a psychologist who wrote a dissertation (literally) on attachment theory! That she ignores Whole Brain Child is interesting, too, since that book is arguably the most prominent within the genre. But maybe the examples she chose are more extreme versions of gentle parenting. I try to be aware of my kids' developmental limitations and to be empathic, but we also have clear boundaries and limits for our kids. Making everything "child-led" isn't particularly beneficial for kids, IMO.[/quote]
