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.

This is a wonderful site. I specially like that is had different links for Parents and Educators. This will be a great resource for me and I can also direct them to this site for helpful information. It is important for parents to have the tools to deal and grow with their child. The section I see as essential is the tab for resources in Spanish. We have a lot of families here in the US (legal and Illegal) that have a language barrier or are afraid to seek help. This is super!!
