In this episode I talk about the parenting philosophy I have been implementing for a few years now - RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers), and some of the ways I implement this philosophy. I walk through my personal visualization for handling my children's heightened emotional states, and I discuss some of the emotional things I am working through with my kids. I referenced Janet Lansbury in this episode, and she has a podcast called Respectful Parenting: Janet Lansbury Unruffled, and she is also the author of two books titled Elevating Childcare: A Guide to Respectful Parenting and No Bad Kids: Toddler Discipline Without Shame.
