It is so refreshing to hear you talk about the truth of attachment parenting, that it is not a perfect solution, a recipe for turning out children who never have any struggles, but instead that attachment parenting is a tool, a method that we use to guide our thinking. And that, neccessarily, all child-rearing methods will have their challenges. Thank you for your insight. -Maria Fantastic post.

We thought we were going to go nuts when our preschooler kept purposefully 'pushing our buttons'. After some reading and info searching, we realized that it made prefect sense --she feels safe enough to be her genuine self with us, and was simultaneously seeking out her boundaries and trying to identify the natural consequences of her actions. We have often found that being silly, being physically active, and being willing to do things like chasing, or pillow fighting, usually put her back in a great mood...and we are able diffuse her more undesirable behaviors.
