Attachment Parenting International Launches Parent Education Program
Old Habits Die Hard: New Parent Education Program Aims to Make Lasting Impression
Attachment Parenting International Unveils Comprehensive, Innovative Series of Education Classes Designed for Long-Term Success
Nashville, TN – March 31, 2008 – Attachment Parenting International (API), a non-profit global network of parenting support groups with more than 60 chapters in North America, today announced its expansion from support into education with its new Parent Education Program, a comprehensive series of parenting classes that educate parents in a new way as it aims to make a long-term difference in parenting behaviors.
Research studies have shown that education attempting to alter behaviors is typically successful for a short period, after which attendees tend to revert back to old habits due to lack of ongoing education and support. API (www.attachmentparenting.org) has designed its Parent Education Program with this in mind.
“I’m thrilled that API has created a comprehensive education program,” said Dr. William Sears, noted author of multiple parenting books, speaker and founder of AskDrSears.com. “API’s Parent Education Program is designed to meet parents at any stage of their parenting journey, all the way through their children’s college years. This kind of approach can make a real long-term difference for families.”
