Support & Discussion for AP Families
For southern California families drawn to parenting in the instinctive ways that have come to be known as Attachment Parenting. Many AP families choose breastfeeding (eg extended breastfeeding or natural weaning), babywearing, co-sleeping/family bed, elimination communication (aka natural infant hygiene or infant potty training), positive/gentle discipline, nonviolent communication, and respectful, responsive parenting. We welcome thoughtful discussion of parenting and related topics: natural or unassisted childbirth, homebirth, non/delayed/selective vaccination, non/circumcision, homeschooling, unschooling, extended or tandem nursing, alternative/complementary healthcare, nutrition, etc. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SoCalAPFamilies/http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SoCalAPFamilies/
