Nurturing touch beyond babywearing

Using Nurturing Touch is one of Attachment Parenting International's Eight Principles of Parenting. With a baby, there are so many ways to put this into practice: babywearing, breastfeeding, the fact that babies want to beheld mostof the time anyway. But as my son has grown older, he's become less and less interested in hugs, kisses, back rubs and other types of nurturing touch that naturally follow in the toddler years.

API Leader Kelly Shealer shares how she uses nurturing touch with her older child and how that sometimes means not touching at all.
