API Publications
API's membership publications – The Attached Family and The Journal of API – are the voice of the organization, educating and supporting parents to make science-based decisions for their families.
Both of these publications are a reflection of API's goal to provide a balanced perspective on a variety of issues encountered by API members. Covering a variety of parenting topics for all parenting stages and family situations, The Attached Family and The Journal of API are members' primary connection to the latest information on Attachment Parenting that API has compiled and created.
The Attached Family
The Attached Family is a magazine available to Attachment Parenting International members. Each issue consists of a mix of personal stories, how-to pieces, and informative articles covering a variety of parenting issues -- each backed by research and each related to Attachment Parenting.
There are two components this publication:
- The Attached Family - a quarterly print magazine consisting of in-depth articles to educate and support families on Attachment Parenting from conception through the teenage years and beyond. Each issue covers a specific topic, including an annual New Baby issue and an annual Growing Child issue. The magazine is available as a black-and-white print copy with a two-color glossy cover, or as a full-color, printable PDF with live hyperlinks.
- TheAttachedFamily.com - the online extension of the magazine. Approximately five new articles that couldn't fit into the magazine are added each week to this ezine's growing library of resources for parents.
To ensure quality and accuracy of the information published in The Attached Family publications, API relies on an Editorial Review Board, which meets periodically to brainstorm and discuss upcoming editions and timely topics related to Attachment Parenting.
The Journal of API
The Journal of API is taking on a new look and a fresh focus. The new Journal of API is turning into an annual review of the year's most eye-opening research related to AP practices. Each issue will explore the theory, practice, and analysis of AP. Not only will the annual Journal will be distributed to API members, but it will be made available to other interested researchers, health care providers, parent educators, and professionals working in the field of family science. Expect the first issue in the fall of 2009.
