Attachment parenting is often reduced to infant bonding like breastfeeding and co-sleeping, but attachment is actually lifelong. John Bowlby's research shows it spans from cradle to grave, and attachment-based approaches work in marriage counseling too.

Chapters

One of the greatest misperceptions about parenting from an attachment perspective is that attachment is only about baby bonding practices like breastfeeding or wearing your baby, or maybe even sharing a family bed. Now don't get me wrong, these can be wonderful practices, especially since babies are mainly able to bond through physical closeness. But a lot of parents come to me and they say they did attachment parenting in the past tense, and they wonder what to do. Now, I always smile because I know, like the creator of attachment science, John Bowlby said, that attachment is a cradle to the grave phenomenon. It's never past tense. In fact, I'm also a marriage counselor who works exclusively with parents. And I can tell you that two of the most popular and effective couples counseling approaches are attachment based approaches.
