Attachment Parenting International's mission is to educate and support all parents in raising secure, joyful, and empathic children in order to strengthen families and create a more compassionate world. We are focused on meeting our children's needs and creating strong relationships. How we foster those bonds differs with each family. The practices we discuss are ways of achieving our goals, they aren't the end in themselves. There is no one right way of practicing attachment parenting.
