Description Baby Knows Best: Raising a Confident and Resourceful Child, the RIE® Way is a comprehensive, accessible guidebook that introduces readers to Magda Gerber’s Educaring® Approach. Beginning with Gerber’s idea that infants are competent, capable individuals with ever-developing abilities to communicate, problem-solve, and self-soothe, the book illustrates how to put ideas into practice, yielding more relaxed parents and more confident, self-reliant children. Baby Knows Best addresses infancy through toddlerhood, beginning with being home with your newborn, and continuing on with how to care for your baby respectfully, the ever-important topic of sleep, movement and motor development, play, setting limits, child care, parenting support, and continuing the practice as your family grows. Deborah Carlisle Solomon, author, was RIE Executive Director for eight years. Since then, she has had a private teaching and consulting practice, working with parents and professionals around the world, in-person and in her online membership and Peaceful Toddler course. Deborah is a frequent speaker at events and studied at the Pikler Institute in Budapest, Hungary.
