Why? Why? Whyyyyyyyyy?
Are you asking yourself why every child asks so many "why" questions? The curiosity of young children is contagious (and, well, sometimes frustrating!). Their minds are expanding and they're becoming inquisitive about the world. They approach the world with endless thirst for knowledge ... which frees us to become creative with our parenting.
Does your child has a serious case of the "whys"? Do you too? Then you're at the right place!
Welcome to Attachment Parenting Month. This year's theme is "Parenting Creatively: The Art of Parenting."
I loved the curiosity of children so much that I decided to homeschool. My kids, now 17, 15, and 13, have been homeschooling for almost all of their educational lives, and I wouldn't have it any other way. For many, homeschooling is a natural extension of Attachment Parenting. It was for us.
In fact, I love API and homeschooling so much that I'm offering two hours of consultation on homeschooling from an AP perspective in the AP Month online auction. I hope you might consider contributing something to the auction too.
Be sure to check out all of the fantastic offerings in the auction here, from a vacation stay in Hawaii or Colorado, to books and DVDs, to one-on-one coaching, and even to hot air balloon rides! Bidding begins October 18.
Do I sound excited? You bet. You simply can't miss it!
