Episode 92: How To Calmly and Confidently Parent Your Child Through RIE Principles

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest this week is Janet Lansbury, creator, and host of one of the most downloaded parenting podcasts, “Unruffled” and author of two bestselling books,</span> <a href= "https://www.janetlansbury.com/recommended-category/by-janet-lansbury/"> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Elevating Child Care: A Guide to Respectful Parenting</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">No Bad Kids: Toddler Discipline Without Shame.</span></em></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Inspired by the pioneering philosophy of her friend and mentor, Magda Gerber, Janet encourages parents and child care professionals to perceive babies as unique, capable human beings with natural abilities to learn. Janet enjoys teaching weekly classes on RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) and spending time with her three children. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Janet and I discuss how to calmly and confidently parent children through RIE principles and techniques. By approaching children as natural explorers and self-learners through RIE, parents learn to spend more time in observation of their children versus the constant need to entertain or fill any voids in their daily activities. The RIE philosophy helps parents confidently take that step back while remaining present, supportive, and engaged in their child’s growth and development.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><strong>Where to learn more about RIE and Janet Lansbury...</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.janetlansbury.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">JanetLansbury.com</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/janetlansbury/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/janetlansbury"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Facebook</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://twitter.
