There is a reason it is so easy to recommend--it was written with parents asking for a book just like it in mind. In its second edition, it is the go-to book to help understand how we arrived with the predominate parenting practices we have. It outlines API's Eight Principles of Parenting while guiding parents to further reading on each topic. It casts a vision of what the world could become a little closer to being like with another child lovingly raised with attachment in mind. It suits the veteran Attachment Parenting bookclub member, as well as the family friend, relative, childcare provider, or spouse who is learning about AP for the first time.

"Given all this information and from our own experiences, we knew in our heart of hearts that attachment parenting was the key to creating emotional connections and making families stronger. We believe that if parents are given good information about why it is so important to nurture children, the tools to do so, and parent groups that support them in their choices, then we will have more empowered mothers and fathers and a lot less violence and dysfunction in the world." ~Barbara Nicholson and Lysa Parker, Preface, Attached at the Heart
