Attachment Parenting mothers and....

It made me write a blog after a long long time!! I was listening to local NPR station's Valley Edition program on " attachment parenting". They had two valley blogger mothers and a CSUF faculty from College of Education. Can't remember his name.  Wonder why haven't they contacted another CSUF faculty Katie Dyer who not only does research on this subject but also has been raising four daughters. Those mothers were talking utter BS which was unbearable! It is almost like when you are converted into a new religion you become a fanatic! But do your homework before coming to talk in the radio! Try to understand and read biology, culture and developmental psychology before you talk. There are quite a few books on developmental psychology about brain development and parenting for common people. As well as scientific reserach being available on why you need to sleep with your new born child. The way attachment parenting is in this country right now as if the parents have discovered it.... do they even know that it is nothing new both biologically and culturally? It is an age old practice in most other traditional non industrialized nation's culture! And it is biological instinct to pick up a child when it is crying or hungry! Not the Western European culture though! Have they even read Meredith Small's books on Culture and parenting? Her book "Our Babies Ourselves" and Kids are very well written came from years of experience working in the field of observing non human primate mothers and mothers from other cultures as well as her own experience of raising her own daughter in the USA. Go do your home work mothers before calling yourselves experts! As if the Time Magazine cover is not producing enough controversy!!
