Term coinage[edit]

I'm uncomfortable with using attachmentparenting.com as a source on whether or not Sears invented the term "attachment parenting." Can we find some other third-party source which says this? --El on ka 01:18, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy[edit]

Excellent WSJ article by feminist Erica Jong attacking Sears' "attachment parenting", fwiw. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704462704575590603553674296.html?KEYWORDS=erica+jong 72.161.160.160 (talk) 11:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vaccines[edit]

Dr. Sears' recent notability comes from his position on vaccines and his promotion of an alternative vaccine schedule. I'm surprised that there is no mention of this in the article.Mannpark (talk) 04:23, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's the whole reason I looked up this article...to find out his relation to the anti-vaxxers. Unsigned :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.101.106.230 (talk) 20:54, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are both talking about the wrong Dr Sears. See Robert Sears. – McDutchie (talk) 23:26, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
