Dear Reader,
Seasons Greetings!
As many of us enjoy the traditions of the season, we cherish our time together as well as the comfort of nostalgia and ritual. It lets us relax (at some point, after all, we are parents), and be in the moment in the midst of our extra-busy lives. Some traditions of our childhood have taken new shape as we pass them on to our children. We change our approach but work to keep the essence, the spirit, of those traditions intact.
As API moves forward, some of our practices will be changing, but our essence, our mission, will remain intact. As an organization, we have reflected on the possibilities we envision for Attachment Parenting in our society. We believe that working as a collective--where we have a shared passion that we join together to address--is fitting for the new API we are excited to present and for the greater impact we can have on the world. This year's AP Month 2018 "Love Collective" theme began the effort to reveal API's new structure and plans for the future. There is so much to share that we will be continuing to make announcements over the next couple of months.
These changes are inspired by the great value of the API Principles for the well being of children and families, and working together to achieve the common objective of a more compassionate world. We believe we can work collectively--sharing our experiences and making parenting sweeter--to help more families than ever!
Please continue to follow API through API Links, on APtly Said, API's Facebook page to learn more.
Warm holiday wishes,
Attachment Parenting International
