Hi, A Finnish researcher of the University of Helsinki, Regina Schon, is doing a research on AP way of raising a child. She has asked me to pass this to you. She is very supportive of Attachment Parenting, but is aware of the fact there is hardly any research that has looked at the whole picture of AP. (There have been research that looked at parts of it). That's the reason she wants to investigate it. She is looking for people who are due between approximately February and October 1998 who plan to do Attachment Parenting. Via the respondents she is also looking for people who plan to do the more Western way of parenting. If you plan to do Attachment Parenting and want to participate in this research, or you know such people, please email Regine Schon at [log in to unmask] She will send you her research description and will explain what she wants you to do (fill in questionnaires). Among participants she will raffle baby carriers or baby clothes. -- Annelies Bon http://www.flnet.nl/~0bon01/bfbronnen.html bf counsellor in training of the Dutch bf org "Borstvoeding Natuurlijk"
