Thank you for acknowledging the choice available to mothers not to cosleep, breastfeed, or wear their babies but still practice attachment parenting. I did do all of these things, with my children, however my best friend chose not to for personal reasons. She did however choose to homeschool and protect her children form toxic social situations and media. Her four children are some of the most attached and outstanding children I’ve met. They are incredibly grounded and secure in their relationship to their mother and family. The two oldest are 18 and 19, and they’ve always been very in-sync with their mom and her values. I respect her choices fully and very much appreciate that this article allows for a wider breadth of AP methods. Well done.

I think that what lies beyond attachment parenting is progressive parenting. Continuing to identify and meet a child’s needs whatever they may be.

Thank you, Shoshana, for this excellent synthesis of Neufeld’s important attachment model. Very necessary to add nuance and refinement to the simplistic caricature of attachment promoted by coverage like Time’s. I love his work, and cite it quite extensively in my new book “Parenting for Peace.” I myself just posted a response to the Time assault: http://marcyaxness.com/parenting-for-peace/time-magazine-not-mother-friendly-or-child-friendly/.

Please note that Dr. Neufeld refers to the fifth root as love. The child falls in love with his parents, if the relationship unfolds as nature intended. We see signs of this when the child draws hearts and expresses his love in other ways to his parents. He wants to marry them and stay with them forever!
