Connection Parenting is based on Pam Leo’s seven-week parenting series ‘Meeting the Needs of Children’ that she has been teaching for over eighteen years. The premise is that a strong parent-child bond is the key to children’s optimal human development and our most effective parenting tool. Connection Parenting is a proactive approach to parenting that supports parents and caregivers in creating and maintaining the strong bonds children need to thrive.

 

“...here is a concise, simple, eminently readable and instructive summary

at every opportunity.”
