Jamie Grumet on Modern Attachment Parenting: Her New Book

Kindred World

Lisa Reagan talks with Jamie Grumet about her new gem of a book, Modern Attachment Parenting: The Comprehensive Guide to Raising a Secure Child. You may remember Jamie as the mother featured on the cover of TIME magazine in 2012 nursing her three-year-old. Her follow-up interview with me in 2013 entitled The Cover Shot Heard Round the World – won two Hermes Platinum Awards and told the real story behind the scenes of the TIME magazine shoot. In our call with Jamie today, you will hear about the fallout of the TIME cover in the years following Jamie’s TIME shoot, the social bullying and trauma she endured, how she fought to preserve her relationship with her children, how attachment parenting supported her recovery, and how she is still championing parents who follow their primal instincts. Jamie’s new Modern Attachment Parenting book features a foreword from singer and AP mom Alanis Morrisette, and an introduction from AP founder, Dr. William Sears. In the book, Jamie tackles the myths and misperceptions of attachment parenting and shares her personal stories and compassion for parents, and her affirmation to all parents that they are in fact enough.
