Struggling with Attachment Parenting?

It's not that AP parents always have it together, that we are superhuman in handling our strong emotions and therefore never raise our voices or give in to our knee-jerk reactions. It's that we are comfortable with teaching our children that all of their -- and our -- emotions are healthy. We don't need to be scared of our emotions, and there are ways to work through them in a healthy way. That includes when we're thinking thoughts that we think "real AP parents" never think of. Ha! It's not that other AP parents don't have these thoughts, and sometimes the actions that go with those thoughts, but rather how we repair the disconnection that happens when those thoughts/actions arise.
