I'm grateful to one of my lovely mentees, who requested this episode, where I talk about some of the differences between Aware Parenting and Classical Attachment Parenting (a term created by me and adopted by Aletha Solter, the founder of Aware Parenting).

Classical attachment parenting (CAP) refers to the original attachment parenting paradigm, which was first described by William and Martha Sears. The Aware Parenting (AwP) version of attachment parenting has several key differences from this original version.

In this episode I talk about:

Why people commonly make the change from CAP to AwP (frequent night waking being one of them).

The three main differences between CAP and AwP.

What people often notice the effects are of moving from CAP to AwP.

These effects can include:

Babies, toddlers and children sleep more restfully and calmly.

If there are two parents, everyone can get their needs more.

Clarity about understanding when to offer loving limits and why they're so important.

They return to natural gentleness because of expressing healing-feelings.

If you want to find out more, I recommend Aletha Solter's books including The Aware Baby and Tears and Tantrums. You can find information about her books at www.awareparenting.com

My books, 'The Emotional Life of Babies' and 'I'm Here and I'm Listening" are also available on Amazon.
