How do you fill your child with love? Attachment Parenting International wants to know! Show how your family practices Attachment Parenting through sharing a photo. Submit a photo of your family cooking together, eating together, enjoying a family tradition regarding meals, food, or activities that shows how your family makes mealtimes and fitness fun.

Submission deadline extended! E-mail submissions to Attachment Parenting International (API) at photocontest@attachmentparenting.org. Submissions will be accepted until 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on October 24.

The theme is “Full of Love: Parenting to Meet Emotional and Physical Needs for Healthy Children.” Preference will be given to personal, candid photos of parents practicing AP in their families. There is no fee to participate. Include your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and phone number at the beginning of your message.
