INDIANAPOLIS: group

Attachment Parents of Indianapolis

IndyAP is a local coalition promoting and providing support for attachment parenting practices that develop and enhance a nurturing, responsive relationship between parent and child.

We are an inclusive, unique and diverse group of devoted parents who identify with the attachment parenting philosophy. We support each other in our parenting successes and struggles as we lovingly guide our children towards a secure and successful independence. Each member’s unique background and perspectives bring together a remarkably valuable resource of experience and knowledge that we all benefit from greatly.

For more information: PM me.

NW Indiana moms group

I've run a yahoo group for NW Indiana moms for a year and a half now. Mom's Night Outs, playdates, parkdates, etc. Moms of all types and belief systems, so not necessarily AP though there are some very AP moms on the group. Mostly Lake and Porter Counties, though there are some over the border into IL and down south in Newton and Jasper as well. We'd be glad to have you!
