What I learned the hard way through extreme Attachment Parenting

By Juliet Carson-Martinez

Great! Loved your article and the message behind it. I have two kids, now 5 and 2, and now that I've "grown" a ways in my parenting, I see how unrelentingly dogmatic I was in my early years of mothering. Though I still struggle unceasingly with the tension being parenting and "personing" and feel the weight of "mommy guilt" almost every day, there are a lot more shades of gray in my life now with regard to "correct" parenting choices.

Anyway, enjoyed your piece!

Best wishes,

Molly
