Daddy will never leave you (I hope)
Does attachment parenting teach children that they’re safe because mommy and daddy will never leave them? Or does it teach them that if mommy and daddy ever leave, they won’t be safe?
It seems more sensible to teach children, at some point, that mommy and daddy will leave them, that mommy and daddy will make mistakes, that mommy and daddy want to hold up a standard that they may fail to reach themselves.
Any thoughts?

Michael,
It’s a simple matter of emotional development. Attachment parenting promotes trust. Give ‘em roots first and later wings.
