Attachment
Parenting is a philosophy that
emphasizes responsiveness to a child's emotional needs, encouraging the
development of trust that those needs will be met. We believe that this
strong early attachment will help our children develop secure, empathic,
peaceful, and enduring relationships. Attachment
Parenting International (API) is a non-profit organization that networks with parents and professionals
around the world. In addition to providing guidance for local Attachment
Parenting support groups, API provides educational materials, research
information, and consultative services to promote Attachment Parenting. API
of East Portland, Oregon offers a
supportive environment for the discussion of attachment parenting
issues. We meet to share our
experiences and to brainstorm together about our parenting—successes and
challenges alike. Meetings
are held the second Friday of every
month at 11:30 AM. We meet at the
Sunnyside Swap Shop (www.sunnysideswapshop.org)
