However, I don't know if it is something at my end, but I am sure I am missing much of this piece. I can only see 5 paragraphs of it and am clearly missing the bit Cathleen is referring to and in fact the whole flower shop simily is lost in all but one paragraph. Can you tell me where I can find the full article? Thanks, Gauri Hi, I am really enjoying reading your articles and resonating with the deep wisdom I find in them.

Can you tell me where I can find the full article?

Thanks,

The "demotion" is specifically referring to the way that it can <em>feel</em> to a toddler. You are right that it's really a time of moving into a different kind of communication that is mutually dependent for success. Point well taken.

I am on the other side of most of what people traditionally think of as "attachment parenting" as my daughters are 4 and 11. If I could change one thing about this article, I would change the analogy of the transition from the first to second year as a "demotion." Rather, I would think of an adventurer, perhaps climbing Mt. Everest (only know about that one from reading, "Into Thin Air"). At the beginning of the journey, the guides can do almost everything with and for the climbers, but as they move up the mountain, the climbers must take on more of their own responsibility, until finally the climber and the guide have a relationship of partnership rather than complete dependence. (In parent analogy, I am thinking this happens somewhere in the child's fourth decade!!) I love the point of this article and complete agree.

I am keen myself to promote such ways of thinking. I live in Ireland, where we have one of the lowest rate of breastfeeding and indeed understanding of attachment parenting in the EU (the latter part in my opinion!). But both are intrinsically intertwined. I battle everyday against a partner and his mother and family who bottlefeed and believe in CIO methods of baby rearing, to me this is all wrong. The bond I have with my son, through constant love, care, all-hours breastfeeding, baby-wearing and attention has lead to him probably being the only baby I know who smiles all day, at friend or foe. Everybody comments on it.....so in sum, this article about the comparative flowershop, rings true. Stick at it ladies, the future is in our hands.
