Here you will find everything related to Attachment Parenting. This is the foundation of why I do what I do, and actually is the inspiration behind Real Simple Mama!

Attachment parenting (AP) is the concept of listening to your child, being aware of their needs and where they are developmentally, and working with your child. We should be on the same team as our kids, not trying to bully them or scare them into obeying us. Instead, we teach our children about everything from eating healthy foods, to how to be kind to others, to earning respect and trust. There’s an emphasis on emotional intelligence and talking through things instead of punishing or yelling.

AP has its place in every phase of parenting, from the littles ones all the way through teenage years! It’s helped me be a better, more confident, more relaxed mom. And I know that my kids are blossoming because they respect and love me. They aren’t scared of me and they hold no resentment.

I hope that I can help teach you about how beautiful (and real simple) being an AP can be!
