RE: Why I Am A Peaceful Parent

in #parenting7 years ago

I love this post. I'm a new mum to my 7 month old and I'm an attachment and peaceful parent. It's what feels right to me and everything I've read confirms that how I feel.
I am struggling with being in the minority in my community though. I'm the only mum at our parents group that co-sleeps, breastfeeds and starting out on peaceful parenting. I let my girl eat food from my plate, not mushy food that I'm forcing into her via a spoon. Other mums don't quite get it though and I'm facing a lot of negative comments.
It's ok though. I've realised that I've got a thick skin when it comes to anything to do with my girl. I'll do it my way, they can do it theirs. The difference being that I don't feel the need to tell them when we disagree on things!
It's been a great journey in these short 7 months of her life and I'm looking forward to seeing her grow.
