Summary

The benefits of attachment parenting cannot be overstated. Securely attached kids are more confident, connected and more prepared to enter the world. They also tend to experience fewer health problems. But why? Here to share more about the science behind attachment parenting and how we can raise confident connected children is Eli Harwood. Eli is a licensed therapist who lives in Colorado with her husband and three children. She's an expert on attachment theory and the author of Raising Securely Attached Kids, which will be available September 2024. She also loves playing dress up with her kids, obsessing about sourdough starter. And reminiscing about that one time, she won a set of globes as a Price Is Right contestant. The good news is that even if you haven’t been parenting in a way that promotes attachment up to now, this process is flexible and ever changing. The best time to start is right now. Listen in to hear all of Eli’s tips and tricks no matter the age of your children. In this episode, we discuss: What securely attached parenting is. How it benefits children throughout their lives. How you can cultivate it in your own home. We touch on highly sensitive children, how you can connect with them and help them to feel more seen and secure.
