Natural Parenting

Hallo beloved readers! I guess I will speak a little bit about Attachment Parenting.
Let's get something straight first.
1. I am not a parent
2. I am only 21 (almost 22) years old
3. I have a partner with whom I (we) plan to settle with, however we are not ready for marriage nor children as yet.
4. I have a deep desire to be a mother
5. I don't belong to a religion but I favour Buddhism and Earth-based teachings

Ok! Back on to business. I have been interested in Homeschooling and alternative parenting (from the ones I normally witness) for some years now. However, recently the desire has come back with a new vigor! I have been and still am actively looking for Secular Homeschooling blogs, curricula and materials. I have found some lovely resources that I can pass on to the little ones that I am around.

Through looking at homeschooling blogs and the like, I have come across a phenomenon known as Attachment/ Natural Parenting. It was like a beautiful light beckoning to me to join in its warm embrace. I have a firm belief that the things I am meant to know/find have always come looking for me; Just as it did with Reiki, Buddhism, Earth-based beliefs, EmoTrance, etc. I am now obsessively gleaning as many resources as possible about this parenting strategy. Reading so many articles.. particularly by Ela Forest ( I respect her so much! Her journeys with her daughter are so awe inspiring! ). I have begun spamming my Facebook wall (essentially my friend's news feeds)with lots of attachment parenting articles with the hope that I might educate and motivate a parent to do more for their child.

Some great links to share:
