Couture Mon, 07 Mar 2011 13:08:29 +0000 http://theattachedfamily.com/membersonly/?p=2610#comment-685 I’m wondering why the author does not believe that we “would not” hold, comfort or cuddle an adolescent the way we comfort a toddler? That does not sound like Attachment Parenting, that sounds mainstream. I hold and cuddle my adolescent son when he needs comfort, and he is 17. I have worked with adolescents for 15 years and I can assure you that adolescents have a strong need for emotional and physical affection from their families, although their confusion about it and their parent’s uncomfortability with the dynamic will cause teens to emotionally and physically pull away. In peaceful tribal societies people of all ages are highly affectionate, depending on the tribe. Attachment Parenting is something we do for the life of the child, not just for the first six years. I also want to know why it is “hard to love a teenager whose length of hair exceeds that of his sisters”? This is very judgemental and I feel like I am reading a blog from Parenting magazine. My son’s hair length exceeds mine and I LIKE it that way!

Trust and respect their process and know that they will come back deeper and renewed when the remodeling into an adult is complete.
