Our hearts go out to the people of Haiti in this time of great tragedy and we keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

Right now, the World Health Organization's immediate health priorities, as are the priorities for many, are:

  • search and rescue of survivors trapped underneath rubble;
  • treatment of people with major trauma injuries;
  • preventing the infection of wounds;
  • provision of clean water and sanitation; and
  • ensuring breast-feeding is continued.

So, at this point, your financial support and thoughts and prayers are the greatest help.

Ways Attachment Parenting families might help:

For a project you might do with your children, contact a local group, organization, or faith community supporting Haiti by collecting and sending supplies. If you don't have a local program you can create and send relief kits here, including health kits, birthing kits, bedding kits, layette kits and more.

Or with your children, undertake a fundraiser and make a donation to these organizations working in the area and receiving donations.

We know that much more will need to be done and we know there will be more ways for families to be involved, such as providing shoes, clothing, even toys, and more, so you might keep this in mind for the future.

ForeWord Book Review

“The book is written for well-educated readers and professionals. It should be required reading for daycare owners, social workers, and members of the judicial system. A simplified version would be worthwhile for parents who could benefit from the tips and message without the academic documentation. The book’s advice is empowering and, if followed, could lead to a better world.”
