I'm a big advocate of Attached Parenting. I practiced it with my son, who was an only child for 6 years. He was never in a daycare setting, he was always with family. However, if you are placing your child in a daycare setting, then attached parenting is going to backfire. Big Time. If you are an "attached" parent then you need to stay home and raise your children or hire a nanny. A poor 12 month old going off to daycare whilst being raised in an "attached parenting" household is a set up for disaster. Mostly for the poor daycare provider.
Side note. I did not practice this type of parenting style years later when with my two daughters who came 20 months apart. It would have been exhausting and did not know at the time that I was opening my own daycare. I just imagined what difficulties they would have had in a group setting.
