You don't have to be an at-home parent to be an attachment parent.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Attachment parenting is not a passive parenting style.
Attachment parenting demands not just certain actions you take with your baby but also certain emotional states to accompany those actions.
I've become sort of an accidental advocate for attachment parenting, which is a style of parenting that... basically, the way mammals parent and the way people have parented for pretty much all of human history except the last 200 years or so.
My son was five months old, and I built a makeshift studio in my living room so that I could do the attachment parenting approach and write the record at the same time. That was fortuitous, that we could build that in the house.
I have a neuroscience background - that's what my doctorate is in - and I was trained to study hormones of attachment, so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that.
Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.
Parenting isn't just parenting your own child.
I'm not sure what it means fully to be a parent.
If you're the parent, be a parent. You know what I mean? I'm a parent. I have daughters.
You become a parent when you have a baby, no matter how you get there.
