I'm in SA, not NB, but I know they have just started an AP group there. Here is the post from the SA AP message board:
The next Attachment Parenting International monthly support group will be April 24 (tuesday) from 10-11am at the Family Birth Center in New Braunfels.
The topic is "remaining your child's primary attachment figure as they grow". In our society it is unfortunately the norm to push our children (sometimes without awareness) to attach to their peer group and detach from us-their parents, beginning as early as 18 months. We will look at the benefits of maintaining your role as primary attachment figure and how you can avoid your child becoming too peer oriented. We will of course have time for open discussion/burning issues too.
This group is open to all; those already practicing Attachment Parenting and those wanting to learn more about this parenting approach. Kids are definitely welcome.
Hope this helps!
