Looking for Sydney mum for magazine article

[Helen38]

Hi,

I'm a freelance writer, working mainly for women's/parenting magazines, and I've been commissioned by Woman's Day to do an article on different parenting styles. The article will be three women talking about the way they're bringing up their children, and I'd like one of the women to be using attachment parenting principles. I'm a big believer in attachment parenting myself - my 14-month-old daughter sleeps with us, and she spent a lot of her first year in the sling - not that I originally planned that, but I quickly worked out it was what she wanted, and it's made all three of us very happy - so I'm really keen to have something positive on attachment parenting in the magazine. What it would involve is a phone interview, and then a photo shoot, in Sydney, of you with your child/children (ideally, you'd have at least one child who is still quite young - maybe under two). If anyone is interested, please email me at hvnuk@acpmagazines.com.au.

I have approval from Susan to post this request.

Thanks,
Helen.

Oh I would LOVE too, but I am in Brisbane! It would be sooooo refreshing to see attachment parenting painted in a positive light in a mainstream magazine I hope one of our wonderful Sydney mums jumps up and puts their hand up for you.

I couldn't agree more.

Wow I might actually have to buy a Womans Day now, instead of flicking to the pics in the shopping line

It would be great if someone was willing to support Helen in pulling this article together. From my experience it is not a very time consuming process.

If no Sydney mums are able to do it, would you be open to someone from another State taking up your offer? Maybe they could send you a high quality photo?

Helen, I emailed you last night.

Thanks to everyone for being so supportive, and thanks to Olysmum for offering to be in the feature. I'd really like a mum with a child under the age of two, if possible. If anyone else is thinking about it, please email me at hvnuk@acpmagazines.com.au

Thanks again,
Helen.

Thanks Krista - and thanks everyone else who responded. I will let you know when the article is coming up. Great to meet such a warm supportive community here.

Helen.
