Attachment Parenting

The website, http://www.attachmentparenting.org, is a helpful website explaining the importance of attachment during the first three years and its positive effects to child development. Infants thrive when they have a close, trusting, and strong bond between mother, father, and caregiver. Any person(s) giving care to a new infant can use this site to learn about how to emotionally attach to a baby and how to understand the needs of the baby. It is important to respond to the baby's every need and to do it in a timely manner. This will ensure trust and a healthy development between baby and caregiver. Newborns can bond to a number of people in the first year. Consistency and a nurturing environment are key. A toddler with a strong bond with its mother or father will be a well-behaved baby and a happier one too. This website has eight principals on how to bond effectively and ensure trust between baby and caregiver. If any one has any comments about this website or know of any other websites related that can be of use, would be really appreciated.

Early Childhood

This blog is for any subjects pertaining to early childhood and early childhood education. My major is child development with a minor in family studies. This blog will be very helpful to me in learning more about my field of study. I urge anyone with any useful or helpful information, such as tips, advice, or the latest research, to post it on this blog. It would be much appreciated. I have been watching videos from YouTube from a channel called "Parents.tv." It has anything you need to know about being a new parent, tips on how to organize a schedule, or anything you can think of that you need advice on, it has. I have really enjoyed this channel because it helps me to understand children and early childhood education better. They also have a website called Parents.com. Here is one video that I found interesting.
