But I Don’t Want To Shut My Kids Out!

Potential readers sometimes ask, “Is Detachment Parenting the opposite of Attachment Parenting?” The short answer is, “No.”

Rest assured: Detachment Parenting doesn’t require you to deny your feelings, keep kids at arms’ length or let them cry it out when they’re distressed. And it doesn’t prescribe parenting choices about sleeping, feeding or cuddling. Detachment Parenting simply shows you how to approach kids’ concerns with calm sensitivity, instead of frantic overwhelm. The upside is a stronger, happier bond with your kids.

If you want to learn how to keep cool, talk about emotional issues, and take care of your own emotional needs, this book is for you.
