2008-10-24 10:20	Attachment Parenting: Why invest in parenting?	Welcome to our new information about attachment parenting website. This website is still under construction. We are trying to provide as much relevant information as possible. Relevant meaning anything to do with attachment parenting, emotional intelligence and cognitive development. We believe that our acts as parents matter and we believe that parenting has a long-term impact. Long-term as in life spans of humans, not life spans of planets or universes. Parenting is for most people the hardest and most demanding thing they ever do - and the one with the biggest consequences. Considering how important parenting is for the future of humankind, we think it's worth investing a bit of time and effort into knowing what we parents are actually doing. And how we can do it better. This guide will have pages on babies including sleeping, breastfeeding, and everything else including attachment parenting resources. There will be a toddler section - helping you deal with the most excruciating tantrums, eating problems and suggestions, sleeping issues, attachment parenting advice and lots of fun ideas. The breastfeeding section will deal with problems, the issues of public breastfeeding, extended or prolonged breastfeeding, weaning and what to do if you cannot breastfeed. This section again will link in to lots of attachment parenting advice. The child section will provide reading material for parenting attachment, guides to raising happy and healthy children and advice on how to foster good emotional intelligence. Specially gifted children will also get a mention! The learning sections will focus on how children learn, how the brain works, how children feel and deal with their emotions, dyscalculia and dyslexia and provide parents with lots of inspiration to help their children learn in a constructive and helpful way

It's not all there from the beginning

All the great achievements of humankind, they could not have been achieved by children, let alone by toddlers or babies.

Almost everything that matters for a human has to be learned. And nothing is learned without effort.

Watch a baby learning to walk. How many mistakes, how many falls, before he gets it right. Watch a young child learning her mother-tongue. It takes months and years of practice before the first well-formed and complex sentence can be produced.

A child's brain is even more able and keen to learn than an adult's.

The first imprints will be the ones putting down the first traces of what will become well oiled routes and often travelled neural riverbeds.

That is why the formative years are so important. They literally form the brain, trace the pathways of behaviour, thought and feeling. Pathways that - being used again and again - will later become highways.
