Growing Up Attachment Parenting from Kindergarten to College by Isabelle Fox
Fox takes us through the developmental stages—physical, social and emotional - of the child aged 5 through 21. She believes that by understanding what is normal, parents are better equipped to deal with the many changes that occur throughout these turbulent years, and should be able to respond with empathy, respect and sensitivity. Throughout Fox stresses the importance of “being there,” both emotionally and physically, and of creating a supportive and loving family environment. A section on Special Situations discusses Attachment Parenting in relation to the mother returning to work, divorce and stepfamilies, adoption and death.
