I have practiced "attachment parenting" with all of my children. I didn't know it was called that or that there was a such thing until after my 2nd was born and I was reading a magazine that listed the 7b's of AP and I did all of them! My older 2 are now 5.5 and 4 and are the most independant little boys in the world!! And I have a very open relationship with them. And they will come and tell on themselves when they did something wrong. So I know that this works!

I agree and disagree with this. Parents should indeed respond to their babies needs. Especially during their earliest months. Once the child CAN be more independant ex. crawling begining to walk yes they can be let to do more on their own. I have found that when you are responsive to your childs needs in infancy that they do become more independant, trusting individuals. How do we expect our children to learn how to be good people if we the parents do not teach them? Our childrens only examples of how to love and care and trust and respect other people come from us.
