Attachment Parenting

Mary King is an attachment parents to her three children. She also represents the San Diego chapter of Attachment Parenting International. API promotes parenting practices that create strong, healthy emotional bonds between children and their parents. For life. So they can take those bonds with them into their adult lives and share them with their children. And their children can do the same. A life cycle of compassion and connection. Through education, support, advocacy and research, their principal goal is to heighten global awareness of the profound significance of secure attachment – not only to invest in our children's bright futures, but to reduce and ultimately prevent emotional and physical mistreatment of children, addiction, crime, behavioral disorders, mental illness, and other outcomes of early unhealthy attachment.
