I practiced attachment parenting and co-slept with my kids. Now they are independent young adults.
I never spent a night away from my kids until they were in kindergarten. Years later, they're independent, and I have no regrets.
The author practiced attachment parenting and co-slept with her children, only spending a night away from them when they were in kindergarten. Despite societal pressure and her own doubts, she never hired a babysitter or left them alone at night until they started school. Her choices were financially driven, as she was a stay-at-home mother and breastfeeding her children for years made separation difficult.
While she faced judgment from family, friends, and even herself, her children have grown into independent, thriving young adults. The author reassures other parents that choosing this parenting style is a reasonable and valid option, emphasizing that their children will still develop into well-adjusted individuals.
