Baby Knows Best

Raising a Confident and Resourceful Child, the RIE™ Way

De: Deborah Carlisle Solomon

Narrado por: Deborah Carlisle Solomon

Raise self-confident, self-reliant children using the RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) approach.

Your baby knows more than you think. That's the heart of the principles and teachings of Magda Gerber, founder of RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers), and Educaring. Baby Knows Best is based on Gerber's belief in babies' natural abilities to develop at their own pace, without coaxing from helicoptering or hovering parents. The Educaring Approach helps parents see their infants as competent people with a growing ability to communicate, problem-solve, and self-soothe. Baby Knows Best is a comprehensive resource that shows parents how to respond to their babies' cues and signals; how to develop healthy sleep habits; why babies need uninterrupted playtime; and how to set clear, consistent limits. The result? More relaxed parents and more confident, self-reliant children.

Fantastic book please read if you are a parent!

no queria detenerme! me enseño mucho para estar y disfrutar a mi hijo! la base de este enfoque es el respeto total a los bebes, incluye ejemplos de como poner límites sin "faltar al respeto" a las pequeñas personitas que estamos educando... o educuidando... y creo que esto es basico para mejorar la calidad de las relaciones que los seres humanos tenemos en la actualidad....

great ideas

great stuff....narrator was great, but so soft and soothing it often put me to sleep, but not for lack of interest!

One of the best comprehensive sources of loving parenting

Never had listened to a more comprehensive book that captivates the simplicity and soul of RIE parenting like this book. It is such an easy read and has the feel of the best parts of a novel, how-to, and non-fiction with perfectly inserted playful comedy. I found it so easy to understand the RIE principles and put the advice/instruction to use easily and quickly. The Educaring approach has actually made me LOVE parenting and choose to give up my practice to be a full-time parent to my son. It's the most challenging job but most rewarding and fulfilling thanks to the Educaring approach. It truly is a privilege to listen to this audio book and hear it in the kind, patient, and gentle words from the author herself.

THIS BOOK CHANGED MY CHILDS LIFE FORVER-

Thank you so much for writing this book, and continuing RIE education for all babies. It was a truly life changing book.

A must read for child care beginners

It gave me all I needed to know and more about what to expect with my little one, on various topics. It's a great overview of a baby's firsts years.

amazing!!

if u need a manual to raising a baby and a Toddler, this is it!! amazing, wonderful book!!

Grateful

I'm so grateful for the information in this book! I enjoyed the overview focusing on infancy through toddler and integrating various concepts of the RIE philosophy at different stages of development.

it works

RIE is wonderful. My baby is 4 months old and I can already see how basic respect is helping him grow and understand and build our relationship.

Great concepts, just take it with a grain of salt

Great concepts, just take each recommendation with a grain of salt. There are so many competing opinions on parenting technique. It was great to hear the perspective of "Educaring" from this book, and I will be incorporating certain portions of it into my parenting approach.

The title says it all

on every page, this book reminds you of the power of honoring your child. I host a podcast reviewing parenting books. I've read over 50, and this is one of my favorites. If you like Janet Lansbury or Magda Gerber and want to raise confident, self-loving, self-expressed kids, this book is a great start!
