Your Child’s Confidence Begins in the Crib |  Guest: Deborah Carlisle Solomon - Ex Executive Director of RIE & author “Baby Knows Best” 

What would change if home was every child’s first experience of dignity, respect, and belonging? In this powerful conversation with Deborah Carlisle Solomon, we explore how the earliest moments of life shape a child’s sense of agency, trust, and confidence in themselves and the world. Drawing from the RIE® (Resources for Infant Educarers) approach, Deborah shares how simple, mindful parenting practices—rooted in empathy, autonomy, and reciprocal relationships—can transform our homes into spaces where children feel seen, heard, and valued from the very beginning. Because the way we nurture our babies isn’t just parenting—it’s culture-building, laying the foundation for how future generations will lead, relate, and create.

Why this matters: Because simple, conscious caregiving choices can shift generations; from raising children who comply to raising humans who contribute.

• When parents nurture autonomy instead of control, they raise future leaders who think, feel, and act with empathy. 
• The way we parent today shapes the communities and workplaces of tomorrow.
• Because the way we nurture our children in the earliest moments shapes not only who they become, but the kind of world they help create.
