I chose to do attachment parenting because I just wanted to develop a close bond with my children right from the start. When you read a lot of parenting magazines, you get the sense that you're supposed to... you have all these rules that you're supposed to do with your children. But I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to have the rules. I wanted to build a relationship with them. So when I learned about attachment parenting, it was something that really spoke to me and something that just seemed so warm and comforting and close and communicative. And that was the kind of relationship I wanted to have with my kids.
