[quote=Anonymous]AP is not what you're representing in this thread OP. AP has some basic principles though I don't know any parents who practice them all or practice them in the same way. 1) Prepare for pregnancy/birth/parenting 2) Feed with love and respect, typically that means BF'ing but always feeding an infant on demand. 3) Respond with sensitivity - ie. understand a child's developmental abilities and respond appropriately 4) Nurturing touch - hold/wear your baby, skin to skin is very valuable 5) Night time parenting - co sleep and respond to a child's cries at night like you would during the day 6) Provide constant care - be present with your baby as much as possible, this one is something many working parents are unable to adhere to 7) Positive discipline - redirection and teaching as opposed to punishment, pretty anti spanking 8) Healthy balance in life [/quote]
