Pre-1900
Folk practice
Attachment Parenting guidance lived in proverb, religion, and midwifery before academic child study.
Attachment Parenting retrace l'évolution de l'autorité experte — des manuels religieux au behaviorisme, puis aux cadres de l'attachement et des neurosciences.
Chaque époque a réinterprété responsive proximity and cue-based care à travers la science disponible et les valeurs culturelles sur l'enfant, le genre et la responsabilité de l'État.
Where it began
