Parenting for Independence.

Matthews, Mary G.

NAMTA Journal, v21 n2 p190-96 Spr 1996

Responds to William Sears's article: "Attachment Parenting: A Style That Works" (PS 523 690). Claims that there are alternatives to "attachment parenting" based on the Montessori philosophy, pointing out that Sears's suggestion of sleeping with the baby and carrying the baby in a sling may easily become obstacles in the path of natural development and delay the acquisition of independence.
