Send us a textIn this episode, I'm joined by Melani Ladygo to explore the RIE approach — a respectful, relationship-based way of communicating with children from infancy onward. Developed by Magda Gerber in the late 1970s, RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) is built on the idea that even the youngest babies deserve to be treated as capable individuals, with mutual respect at the core.Melani shares how RIE gives parents a practical framework for setting boundaries without being either too harsh or too permissive. We talk about what respectful caregiving actually looks like with infants and toddlers, how to respond to challenging behaviors like hitting, biting, and tantrums, and why staying calm and connected matters so much — even when emotions run high.If you're looking for a parenting approach that blends empathy, clear boundaries, and authentic connection, this conversation will offer both inspiration and real-world tools you can start using right away.

We all know that children are the greatest blessings in life. They truly are. Raising them, however, can be quite a challenge for us parents. We want to protect them, mold them, and encourage them to be the best people they can be. But how do we do that without being too permissive or too authoritarian? Many parents struggle to find parenting methods that work for them and their children, especially when generations before us parented so differently. Maybe you're trying to break family cycles that you learned and want to do things differently with your kids. Maybe you want to parent with better boundaries and with more respect. If this is you and you're looking for ways to connect more with your children and parent with compassion, you're going to love today's guest, Janet Lansbury. Who is Janet Lansbury? Janet Lansbury is a former actress and model, and her passion for parent education began when she became a mother and sought guidance from infant expert Magda Gerber. Deeply inspired and grateful for her wisdom, Janet began training with Magda professionally. For the last 20 years, she has taught RIE parenting classes in Los Angeles and has served on the Board of Directors of Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) since 1995. Janet is privileged to support hundreds of thousands of parents across the globe, sharing insights gained through her parenting classes and personal experiences as a mother of three.  In 2009, Janet created her parent education blog, JanetLansbury.com, and she later published two best-selling books, Elevating Child Care: A Guide to Respectful Parenting and No Bad Kids: Toddler Discipline Without Shame. In 2015, Janet launched her podcast, Unruffled, which is the top-ranking parenting podcast about respectful parenting from Wondery. Janet encourages parents and childcare professionals to perceive babies as unique, capable human beings with natural abilities to learn without being taught, develop motor and cognitive skills, communicate, face age-appropriate struggles, initiate and direct independent play for extended periods, and much more. My Thoughts Janet Lansbury is someone that I have admired in the baby and parenting industry for years. Her work has impacted me and so many others (including many of my clients) with our parenting and how we think about our children, boundaries, discipline, and more. Hearing her share her personal story and her overall thoughts on respectful parenting was inspiring. I have been interested for a while in learning more about RIE and the work that Janet does, but after this episode, I may just take a course myself. Stay tuned! If you would like a healthier relationship with your child and want to discover a different way of parenting that can blossom your own parenting skills, I highly recommend listening to this episode and learning more about Janet's work. I believe you will leave inspired, too.

Welcome to a brand-new Family Edition of The Tony Robbins Podcast! Join Tony Robbins, his wife Sage Robbins, and their dear friend and podcast host turned surrogate, Mary B., for an intimate, at-home conversation on the topic of CONSCIOUS PARENTING. In honor of Mother's Day 2024, Tony takes the interviewer's seat and talks to both Sage and Mary about the principles, strategies, tools, and learnings derived from their own journey as mothers. This enlightening conversation transcends traditional notions of parenting, as the trio explores the complexities of modern family dynamics. From blended families, stepparents, same-sex relationships, and co-parenting arrangements, Tony, Sage, and Mary discuss tips for how to make it work on the evolving landscape that is parenthood today. One of the highlights of this conversation is their working definition of MODERN CONSCIOUS PARENTING -- the shift from stress and fear-based parenting to an empowering and integrative awareness-based parenting.  The family discuss the helpfulness of evolving from high-resistance parenting towards a more mindful, self-reflecting, and self-aware approach. By prioritizing both presence and connection, they explain how parents can create an environment that nurtures the growth of beautiful little human beings – an inside out job. The three also emphasize the significance of our language choices around children, advocating for curiosity over fury and mindfulness over fear. They also share personal anecdotes from their own experiences as parents, highlighting the impact of screen and other stimulus on children's emotional development, creativity, imagination and worldview. This episode offers invaluable insights for parents, prospective parents, and anyone interested in creating meaningful connections within their families. By embracing conscious parenting practices, Tony, Sage, and Mary invite listeners to embark on a journey of personal growth, self-discovery, and lasting harmony. Join us as we explore the transformative power of intentional parenting and discover how a slight shift in our focus can lead to profound changes with children and within ourselves!

RIE – quoi? Vous entendez certainement un peu partout depuis un moment parler de la parentalité bienveillante, positive, respectueuse. Et bien, cet épisode aborde précisément la philosophie de la parentalité respectueuse Resources for Infant Educarers, ou RIE, qui est fondée sur le respect de l'enfant. Je suis certaine que certains d'entre vous sont prêts à écouter cette notion de « respect des enfants ». Parce que ce n'est pas une exagération de dire que ça a transformé ma perspective et mes interactions avec mes enfants. Dans cet épisode, on découvre ce qu'est la philosophie RIE et les huit qualités d'un bon parent de Magda Gerber. info@lerefugedesparents.com Magda Gerber - Your Self Confindent Baby Janet Lansbury - https://www.janetlansbury.com/

Interview with Janet Lansbury, author of 'No Bad Kids: Toddler Discipline Without Shame', host of 'Respectful Parenting - Unruffled Podcast', mother of three grown children, and great advocate of Magda Gerber's Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE).

Back for part two of their chat on conscientious parenting, Mason and Tahnee come together today to expand their discourse into the area of the conscious and subconscious mind, exploring how ingrained patterns of thinking and behaving influence our ability to show up for our children and partners in the ways we desire, highlighting that awareness and presence are ultimately at the crux of all these things. Tahnee speaks to the RIE parenting method and the work of Magda Gerber and Janet Landsbury, sharing their framework around empathy, and how to use it as a tool of enquiry and understanding, especially when experiencing interpersonal difficulties with your child.   The topic of empathy poses the existential question; how do we walk on the hot coals of our experience with grace and regulation? Tahnee and Mason both champion engaging with personal practice and developing tools that enhance the cultivation of your mental, physical and spiritual capacity, whether these be through herbal allies, meditation, movement, breath or self compassion.  Tahnee emphasises how difficult it can be to break habitual patterns, recounting a recent experience she had relocating the tea towels in her house, Tahnee found she kept going back to their previous location, which stands as a simple (and very sweet) reminder that it takes time to change and it's imperative that we allow ourselves humility as our bodies and minds catch up to new terrain. Rhythm, routine and being realistic with expectations is also explored, along with using play as a tool for learning.  Another stimulating conversation between our favourite pair.   Mason & Tahnee discuss: - Empathy for your child's experience as a key pillar in conscious parenting. - How to communicate with your kids without being condescending.  - The books and tools Tahnee & Mason use to support their parenting intentions. - Treating your child like an individual with unique needs, regardless of their age. - Using rhythm and routine to create stability/safety in the family culture. - How to use seasons and celebratory festivities to punctuate time throughout the year.  - The work of Rudolf Steiner. - The importance of encouraging play, wonder and magic in parenting.  - Using Astrology, German New Medicine and Human Design to support your children.   Resource guide Guest Links Tahnee's website Tahnee's Instagram Mason's Instagram Mentioned In This Episode RIE Parenting MethodJanet LansburyMagda GerberNew Earth Mama InstagramHow to Talk So Little Kids Will ListenGerman New Medicine Related Podcasts Conscientious Parenting with Mason & Tahnee Taylor Part 1 (EP#200) Connect With Us SuperFeast InstagramSuperFeast FacebookSuperFeast TikTok SuperFeast Online Education   Check Out The Transcript Below: https://www.superfeast.com.au/blogs/articles/conscientious-parenting-with-mason-tahnee-taylor-part-2-ep-201  

This week's show is with William Apple. William Apple is a Psychological and Spiritual Mentor, as well as a Psychodynamic Coach. The Foundation of his Work is rooted in Carl Jung's Concept of “Individuation”, and takes a new approach towards fostering a conscious relationship with that Process by quantifying a Depth Psychological and Psychoanalytic approach to the Inner Child as a Precursor to Shadow Work. He is Certified in CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, and Polyvagal Theory, and his Inner Child Work is strongly influenced by Alice Miller, D.W. Winnicott, Jacque Lacan, Marion Woodman, Magda Gerber, Bell Hooks, and many others. In this conversation, William and I explored the unfolding journey of creating a relationship with the inner child, how confronting it can feel to see how much of our life has been created from the wounding of the child, and how we can be with that in an accepting and accountable way, and lastly and maybe surprisingly, given what a gloomy picture I may have just painted - how it can be a beautiful and playful experience! We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group. What you'll learn from this episode: The inner child is all the wounded parts of us that have been fractured through conditioning and the parts of us that have been created as coping mechanisms as a result The fish metaphor that arose is one that I think is very helpful in allowing us to see the depths of the conditioning - as William said “We've been led to believe we're fish!” I loved what William said about how those of us who have been in the work for many years, it's not been a waste of time - it's actually a map back to ourselves if we look at the work and our fantasies about it, it can reveal so much about our wounds. We can continue doing that work, with awareness and actually enjoying the play!

Winnicott, Jacque Lacan, Marion Woodman, Magda Gerber, Bell Hooks, and many others. In this conversation, William and I explored, Phantasy vs Fantasy, what is meant by each, how to know which you're engaging in, and how to work with them consciously. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group. What you'll learn from this episode: Phantasy means the spectres of the past are being projected onto the world, whereas Fantasy means what we generally think of the word - conscious engagement of imagining things (and being honest and accountable about that). Once this distinction between the two types is clear, it allows us to see more clearly how we show up in the world, not just to others but to ourselves. We rarely see others for who they are, we see them for who we phantasise them to be. Projections are the non-verbal hopes, dreams and expectations of what we hope that world will be like so we can feel safe. The hopes, dreams and expectations are coming from the spectres of the past - which are unmet needs from childhood which are now being projected out onto others and the world. The work of consciously working with our phantasies means being accountable for them, without shame, blame and guilt. Reclaiming and remembering how to consciously fantasise with our active imagination, particularly with our projections, can be so healing and also fun!

Since their son's birth, Joseph Anew and Emilia Run made an effort to change his diapers slowly, paying close attention to him and communicating to him the whole process. It's their way of showing him respect.  However, they went through a difficult phase during which their son would resist diaper changes. If you're a parent, you may identify. Remembering the advice to "Slow down, you can never go too slowly" from early childhood educator Magda Gerber, they slowed down even more, giving their son more attention and lots of tickles. Within a week, their son was happy to have his diaper changed and even began changing his own diaper. This is one of many unexpected tips I learned from the parents I interviewed for my new book Boundless Parenting. As contributors to the book, Joseph and Emilia shared advice on discipline, boundaries, self-sufficiency, and much more.

RIE, which stands for Resources for Infant Educarers, is a parenting philosophy created by Magda Gerber that has gained a lot of attention in recent years. Yet, there are still some common misconceptions many parents have about this approach.   Here to shed some light on the teachings of RIE is the founder of Beech Street Parenting, Courtney Dern.   If you are pregnant or a new parent, you won't want to miss hearing why you actually need way less stuff than you may think, strategies for setting your child up with independent open-ended play opportunities from the start (plus why this is beneficial for their development), and the importance of slowing down to support your baby's natural curiosity and exploration of the world around them.   I want to hear from you!

This week on Imperfect we're reflecting on miss Magda Gerber. She inspired us to recognize babies as whole people from birth who deserve our respect and should be welcomed into the world as honored guests. Join us in discussing this pioneer in parent education.Show Notes:Resources for EducatorsHarmony Learning

Janet shares an exchange she had with a parent who wonders how anyone can possibly live up to the extreme idealism of "gentle parenting." She writes: “It sounds so lovely… but it's also crushing to never be able to live up to despite having all the tools and knowledge.” While "gentle parenting" is not a term Janet uses, she understands that it's a catch-all for recent discussions and news articles about parenting philosophies. In response, Janet shares her own mental and emotional struggles as a new mother striving for perfectionism as she tried to put Magda Gerber's teachings into practice. She describes moments of frustration, feelings of failure and being judged, and how through her own experiences of self-doubt and criticism, she learned to give herself permission to be an imperfect parent in a process.

Quando parliamo del respectful parenting di Magda Gerber, cadiamo spesso in alcuni grandi fraintendimenti. Molti genitori, infatti, credono di praticare già un'educazione abbastanza rispettosa nei confronti dei loro figli. Eppure non si rendono conto che continuano a scontrarsi con vecchie abitudini e mentalità. È innegabile, quindi, che c'è una grandissima differenza tra l'apprezzare qualcosa e il saperla mettere in pratica! I 7 punti dell'educazione alternativa di Magda Gerber ci aiutano a osservare da vicino le nostre situazioni quotidiane. E possiamo chiederci: quante volte cadiamo in alcune contraddizioni culturali? Nell'episodio n. 152 del podcast, sfido il genitore più appassionato di respectful parenting a mettersi alla prova! Premi play e scopri a che punto sei nel tuo percorso di genitorialità rispettosa.

How does respectful care work when we have more than one child? What can we do when siblings, multiples, and other groups of children seem to need our attention all at once? Janet's guest is early childhood specialist Erica Orosco Cruz, a mother of 4 and the founder/director of Homeschool Garden, a childcare center and preschool/kindergarten for children ages 1-6. Erica trained with Magda Gerber. She encourages parents to allow their children to participate actively in their own care, empower them with predictable routines and cues, learn through age-appropriate conflicts, and express their feelings fully. “Being a mother is no easy feat,” she says. “Being a caregiver of multiple children is no easy feat. But when we have a love and a curiosity for it, it gives us a lot of opportunity to shift, to try different things.” You can learn more about Erica's incredible work, her school, and about her online and in-person workshops at www.homeschoolgardensite.com.

Janet discusses the challenges and benefits of authenticity -- how being real with our children helps us to achieve our goals as parents, strengthens our relationship, and even makes our lives easier. Janet says that it was Magda Gerber who modeled authenticity for her, and her teachings “freed me to embrace my authentic, messy inner life and my messy parenting and my messy relationships. And this is what I would love to pass along in my imperfect way so that you too can be inspired to be authentically imperfect (or imperfectly authentic).” Step up your gut health with Ritual's new Synbiotic+ for 10% off during your first 3 months by going to www.Ritual.com/RESPECT.

We're all here together in this Earth School learning, doing the best we can, making mistakes, picking ourselves back up. The soothing balm that keeps us going is often another's kindness, caring, connection, and love. Its power is truly transformational. If you think of any great mother, real or archetypal, they have a capacity to love unconditionally – to accept, to allow, to give, to understand, to listen, to nurture. A mother's love brims with compassion and mercy. Even when their beloved has behavior that may be less desirable, there's still a universal knowingness and a loving essence for the human heart before them. That unconditional aspect of love is what is discussed in this one hour special edition episode. Hear Tony, Sage, and Mary B converse on what it means to sponsor life. There's a beauty to life. The mess of it, and the sweetness of it, and the pain of it. And so, it's not to say that there aren't challenges and that there isn't pain in moments like right now with what's happening on the world stage. But we can contribute to the schism, or we can be a balm. We can be a balm of kindness, and goodness, and look to bring love, light, illumination, presence, connectedness, to be an ear to listen. It's amazing how that can shift another's world. I know what it feels like for me to receive that. I know what it feels like to offer that. And I think that's a beautiful reality that sometimes in the busyness of life, we can forget how impactful in a moment we can touch another. That we can reach another. That we can move another. That we can remind each other because we're mirroring each other and as we're offering that we're experiencing that. Everything that I'm saying to you in this moment, it's really all selfishly for myself. Life is such a beautiful house of mirrors. We're all reflecting each other. - Sage Robbins LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST TO LEARN: How you can “sponsor” life How to tap into the powerful divine energies that flow through us all What life lessons two new moms have learned already   SHOW NOTES [2:00] Sage Robbins on “sponsoring life” [7:38] Mary B. & Sage on masculine and feminine energies and archetypes [13:58] On a mother's unconditional love [14:56] In birth as in death [17:49] The teacher becomes the student [18:11] Tony pops in studio [23:10] Nurturing/Mothering of self [28:45] “You have influence over your children but you don't have control” - Tony Robbins [31:37] The Serenity Prayer [35:08] Hello, I'm alive!

A parent describes experiencing a dramatic shift in her parenting perspective through the ideas Janet offers in her podcasts and books. The developmentally appropriate lens suggested by Janet and her mentor Magda Gerber has transformed this parent's relationship with her baby. She is gaining more compassion for her child and herself, learning to regulate her emotions, feel more confident, and use her energy wisely. She's even noticing surprising results in specific situations. For instance, by following Magda's and Janet's advice to do less, observe and trust her baby more, a cross-country flight she had dreaded became a "sublime" experience. Best of all, this mom reports a newfound "ability to enjoy parenthood in a way I would not have otherwise,” and that she is learning to care for her childhood self, which benefits her, her child, her marriage, and all her relationships.

Guest  Philip Mott Philip is a former elementary school teacher who now offers parenting advice for busy and frustrated parents. He and his wife home school their three young children. He's a regular contributor to Fathering Together and First Time Parent Magazine. www.philipmott.com www.fatheringtogether.org https://www.firsttimeparentmagazine.com You can also hear an interview with him on the podcast Front Row Dads. There are two parts:    Part One   https://frontrowdads.com/philip-mott-part-1/     Part Two   https://frontrowdads.com/philip-mott-part-2/ He is interviewed by Living Joyfully With Unschooling on the Exploring Unschooling podcast. View here on YouTube:  SHOW NOTES: In today's episode Jenna and Philip have an open and honest conversation about how each of their households handles things like screen time, bedtime and other common hurdles in unschooling.  Before we begin Jenna reminds listeners that she is always looking for new topics and questions you would like to hear addressed on the podcast. For instance, would you like to hear more from Jenna herself, more experts, other ideas? Also, remember to please leave a review as this helps grow the community.    Jenna begins the interview by asking Philip to explain his journey into self-directed learning.  Philip says that he began reading a lot about child development, student engagement, and why students are not fully engaged. He realized that he was becoming the teacher he himself would not have wanted when he was a student. His experience in school was not a good one which was one reason he wanted to become a teacher himself. At that time he felt he had fallen into an authoritarian role. After doing some reading he began to try to make his classroom more child centered. But he says that the writings of Magda Gerber,  a parent child advocate who founded the  Resources for Infant Educarers usually referred to as RIE, was a great inspiration for him. He found this resource when his child was thirteen months old and followed her advice on letting the child lead in play and learning. He had always followed a self-directed path in his own learning but hadn't made the connection that it would be the same for even very young children. He and his wife were surprised and pleased that a child that young could be so self-directed. This was when they became hooked on self-directed learning and knew that they wanted that for their family.      Jenna notes that she is always surprised at how many educators there are who have an epiphany and says that she can relate to the feeling of becoming that teacher that you don't want to be. She says that it felt uncomfortable and wrong but was brought on by stress and expectations which were out of her control. Philip agrees and says that when he was teaching fifth grade at an online school he was on a team that kept him from implementing some of the things he wanted to try. He did create a program he called ‘Connect' in which he would engage with students in order to build a relationship beyond just academics. He tracked grades during this time and saw that the extra engagement with his students did improve their interest and success in class. But, it still didn't make up for the fact that trying to teach everyone the same thing at the same time was really not working. The curriculum keeps teachers bound to a timeline teaching specific skills at specific times.  Jenna asks if there is in his opinion any time that any one skill MUST be learned. Philip says that it is less about when or even what is absolutely needed to be known or learned, but is much more imperative that the child not be made to feel inadequate if they fail to learn something at the time we expect them to learn it. Even if parents don't criticize or punish their child for not learning a skill, they receive the message of unworthiness from standardized testing, the grading system etc.  Jenna mentions that some teachers put the scores on the board following a test. She wonders if this is supposed to motivate the students. Philip says he wonders if it has become more valuable to beat another person rather than to learn and nurture relationships. He says that some of the philosophical reasoning within racism and feminism can teach about children and learning. He mentions the book ‘For Her Own Good' by Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English. The book addresses the wife having no say, and kids often find themselves in the same position. A power over vs power with mentality. Jenna mentions a podcast episode by Brene Brown, where she discusses the Power Over vs Power With paradigm.  Jenna goes on to ask Philip if is familiar with Peter Gray's assertion that language is the only subject that must be learned by age four and does he agree.   Philip says that in his own experience it has been the case that timelines on learning are very individual. He gives the example of his own learning. As he said before he was not a good student even in high school. But, in college he was ready to learn and did well. He supposes that exposure to one's native language would most likely occur naturally.  Jenna says she was speaking with a friend recently and they brought up the fact that as students they didn't learn much about technology as it hadn't been invented yet. Now, everytime new tech comes along they all learn to use it. An example of learning when the need occurs.            Philip mentions that people are even learning things about how things were done ages ago. There are many YouTube channels dedicated to learning skills and tasks of old. Jenna mentions a project in Germany where they've used  period-appropriate tools, materials, and techniques.   Jenna points out that the driving force in self-directed learning is curiosity.    Philip states that within their home school ‘Curiosity is the Curriculum' is their motto. An example he gives of a typical day is this. His kids are really into Pokemon right now. So, they will watch an episode or two and then go downstairs to the basement and act it out. His older son has learned all of the characters, cards, hit points etc. He is using a lot of skills including math. He advises parents to stop and observe what kids are doing and be able to see and recognize that their learning is fun and they are using valuable skills.  Jenna mentions that she has observed her kids especially on excursions and that natural conversations occur that inspire learning. As a teacher she could see the learning but it was very subtle. With her son, his big interest at the moment is video games. He has learned by trying and failing and trying again. As he improved and learned organizational skills as well as the tech, he now shares his skills on Twitch. He learned a lot of soft skills that could one day be applied to a career. Academics she says can be learned and proven, whereas soft skills are more fluid.  Philip agrees that academics have all these benchmarks and soft skills are harder to master. Even though Jenna's son is showing leadership skills, there may be times when he doesn't take a leadership role and that's okay. He goes on to talk about labeling kids. One label he hears a lot is regarding ‘the strong-willed child.' Once you decide your child is strong-willed, you tend to see everything they do through that lens. He wonders how it helps a parent to label a child strong-willed. While they may have been strong-willed yesterday, he believes we should give our loved ones a new chance everyday.          Jenna says this reminds her of a podcast she listened to by Blake Boles interviewing Naomi Fisher on the topic of Nature vs Nurture. Perhaps it is the dynamic between parent and child. For instance maybe the parent is very authoritative and that impacts the child's behavior. It goes both ways and can be very different between children within the same household.  Philip says it is impossible to be the same parent to all of his kids. His kids are very different people.    Jenna mentions that she isn't even the same person around her different groups of friends, so of course it makes sense that it is impossible to parent each child exactly the same way.    Philip says that his wife came back from the store one day and said that she needed to remember what it was like to shop with a three year old. This conversation reminded him that we even tend to label age groups of children. We put expectations of behavior and more on them. He says we need to look at it more individually. This is not A child, this is MY child. She isn't a problem, she is having a problem.    Jenna agrees and says that it might be you that is projecting and actually creating a problem. Everyone has good and bad days.    Philip says we need to not be hard on ourselves as parents, since there are no ‘perfect' parents.    Jenna says that within self-directed learning there is a tendency to strive for peacefulness and avoid conflict at all costs. She asks Philip's thoughts on this.    Philip states that there are only two things in their household that they are firm on. Bedtime and Screen Time. As for bedtime they have ‘room time.' The kids have to spend time in their rooms at night, but there is no requirement as to when they actually go to sleep.    Jenna says that for her, sleep is a number one priority. In her household with her kids, as they are older, and with some experimentation they agreed that everyone would be in bed by 9:30 PM. They don't have to go to sleep, but they need to be quiet.    Philip says he really likes that Jenna discussed her need for sleep with her kids and asked her kids to help her out with that.           Jenna prompts Philip for his thoughts on screen time.     Philip states that he and his wife didn't initially agree on this subject. (She wanted to limit it.) Now that his kids no longer have nap time, this has become Screen Time. They also have another screen time session in the evening. Although it is limited, it has not been a problem. Screens are now part of our culture and kids will most certainly be using them a lot in their futures.    Jenna says she is glad that he and his wife were able to negotiate as it demonstrates what everyone goes through. Parents are hardly ever in complete agreement on every issue. For her family they had years of limited screen time. She says she wouldn't change that because it is impossible to explain to a two or five year old how video games are designed to be addictive. Now that her kids are older, she can discuss it at a higher level. Her son now spends the majority of his time on a screen since his main interests include gaming, tech related everything, 2D animation, 3D modeling, YouTube, Twitch etc. If she sees that he is losing interest in all of the other things he loves such as basketball, rock climbing and swimming, then it would be time to have a conversation with him. She says that one of the superpowers of self-directed parents is that they know their children so well that they notice more when something is off.     Philip discusses the fact that even if a self-directed parent were concerned they wouldn't panic or try to solve the problem on their own. They would as Jenna stated have a conversation with the child and participate together in a solution.    Jenna and Philip wrap up the interview by agreeing that there are so many variables in play. Personalities, ages, etc. There is no rulebook. Parents have to be kind to themselves and their children.   Jenna asks Philip the four questions that she asks all of her guests:    How do you like to learn? Philip says he really likes to learn in tandem with others. Something like an apprenticeship.  What are you curious about? Philip states that he is currently into meal prep and meal planning. Jenna asks if he has resources for that to share. Philip says that he just pulls things from the pantry and experiments.  Do you have any educational resources that you want to share? Philip says that he has found some great courses through Masterclass               Some of the classes he has tried are Graphic Design, Cooking and Guitar Playing.                What is a book, blog or podcast that you recommend? Philip says that Rogue Learner is of course on the list as well as Teacher Tom, an inspiring, friendly and authentic blog about living and learning with preschoolers.    Helpful Resources Mentioned in Today's Show Philip Mott Fathering Together  https://frontrowdads.com/philip-mott-part-1/ https://frontrowdads.com/philip-mott-part-2/ Exploring Unschooling podcast - YouTube Magda Gerber For Her Own Good Brené Brown on Leadership and Power Masterclass Teacher Tom   Ways to Connect Join me on the Show!

Orders, commands and punishments. Oh my! Today's topic is all about discipline. The ugly yucky monster that infects all of our parenting brains with the shoulda, coulda, woulda's about raising our kids. We are screwing up the world by the way we parent our kids. Yeah, I said it. And I want us to change the way we parent humans because we're changing the way we are raising people in society.We'll kick off our show with The Raise a Glass Series, get on to our questions to explore, and end with A Short Story Before We Go. MFA is the sometimes-musical, dramedy, in 3 acts, 1 intermission, the length of a sitcom designed to give mama's (and any caregiver) a break in the day to breathe and reset along with a much-needed audio hug. Quote: “A positive goal to strive for when disciplining would be to raise children we not only love, but in whose company we love being." Magda Gerber from Janet Landsbury's, No Bad Kids Toddler Discipline Without Shame. Act I: The Raise a Glass SeriesThe Raise a Glass Series is a space for reflection and gratitude centered around the topic of the day and inspired by lyrics from Hamilton the Musical.Today's lyrics – “What happens if I don't get congressional approval? I imagine they'll call for your removal. Sir. Figure it out alexander, that's an order from your commander. Act II: Main QuestionsWhat does discipline mean? Is discipline, as punishment, necessary for our children? If we changed the way we thought of disciplining our kids how would that change the world?            Intermission: Angelica Interlude Act III: A Short Story Before We GoLost in the Woods Episode transcript: available at www.mfaparentingedition.com/046 Sources that helped inspire this episode:·       DISCIPLINE English Definition and Meaning | Lexico.com·       Discipline Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster·       discipline | Etymology, origin and meaning of discipline by etymonline·       DTA | Organized Chaos: Discipline in the Theatre Classroom (theatrefolk.com)·       By Janet Lansbury Archives - Janet Lansbury Connect with Me:Best way - taisha@mfparentingedition.comIG - @mfaparentingeditionSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mfaparenting)

Every so often I'll get a note from a parent who's feeling guilty that they have to work so much and can't be home with their little kids.   So often these parents write to me saying they feel bad that the kids don't see them as much as they could, or they feel bad that they're distracted and that their attention is going elsewhere other than just their children.    I feel really passionate about this subject because here's one thing that I'm allergic to: dogmatic one-size-fits-all parenting advice.   When people make blanket statements like “mothers should be home with their babies” I think they're missing so much nuance and it's really doing a huge disservice to all of us parents who are unique individuals with very unique circumstances. We're all different. Our children are all different. Our needs, aspirations, goals, beliefs, value systems, cultures, origins, and our resources are all different.   And therefore the answer is always going to be, as Magda Gerber said: It depends.    In this episode I'll talk about why you should feel great if you're a working parent.    [03:19] One isn't better than the other [04:59] You're providing for your children [05:48] Making money is part of parenting [07:28] You're modeling for your children   If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, I'd love to hear about your biggest takeaway.

Esme Valk is the guest on this landmark tenth episode of Feel Free to Deviate. She is a Pikler Pedagog. You probably have no idea what that is, so I'll give a brief introduction, and Esme will clarify many of the finer points. Pikler Pedagogy is a child rearing philosophy developed by Dr. Emmi Pikler. The people who disseminate Pikler's ideas are known as Pikler Pedagogs, though some folks may be more familiar with the term RIE parenting, which is how it it mostly known in America. RIE was developed by Magda Gerber, who was a former student of Pikler's. We talk mostly about Pikler stuff during our conversation, but also about stress, burning out, and the joys and pitfalls of pursuing a career with and without kids. It was a nice talk, and many folks will relate to her story, even if they subscribe to a different child-rearing system. You can find Esme at https://intheirowntime.nl/ or https://intheirowntime.com/ and also on social media @intheirowntime.  https://www.instagram.com/intheirowntime/ https://www.facebook.com/intheirowntime https://nl.pinterest.com/intheirowntime/ Feel Free to Deviate is the podcast about people, their careers, and their relationships with success.

Feeding, diapering, dressing, soothing. At times, it feels like we're merely surviving those early months. When in overdrive, pausing to observe doesn't always come naturally, but looking and listening before responding to your baby or toddler can lead to some surprising discoveries about your child, and yourself! Something called RIE parenting is founded on that principle. RIE was created in 1978 by a woman named Magda Gerber. The basis of Magda's RIE philosophy is respect for the child, and it asks us to examine our power in caring for these little beings.   Jessica  Rolph, your host, welcomes Hannah Olavarria to today's episode, she has been trained in the foundations of RIE and is half of the parenting duo behind Upbringing, along with her twin sister, Kelty. Hannah shares how she has been incorporating RIE into their parenting and coaching for years.   Key Takeaways: [1:58] What does RIE represent? [2:49] What is Hannah's experience with RIE as a mother? [5:03] What does the RIE method for parents of babies really look like? [8:23] Hannah talks about the RIE way to speak to a baby. [11:55] Some RIE practitioners object to tummy time and Hannah gives her perspective on this. [15:20] What does a typical “Yes space” look like? [18:13] Hannah breaks down Upbringing's 10 Freedoms, starting with the Freedom to Struggle. [19:15] Hannah explains what the Freedom to Choose looks like for a baby and a toddler. [23:07] There is no one parenting philosophy that fits all parents.    Mentioned in this episode: Brought to you by Lovevery.com Upbringing Upbringing on Instagram

What actually is a Montessori resource? What the heck are open ended toys or loose parts? What does RIE recommend for babies? What is a passive toy? We are bombarded with adverts and beautiful images of all the resources that our children should have and often it's really difficult to know what are the best toys to get for our little ones and what is really necessary. If you find your head is spinning from all the options and possibilities and you want to have a better idea about which resources are truly valuable, this episode is for you. I look at a what constitutes a valuable, quality toy, how to sift through the BS and what to actually look for when deciding what to get for our little ones. You will have a much better idea on what qualities to look for when choosing resources for your child.In the Everyday Heroes segment I speak to Anna, a mum of 2 young children. Anna talks about how it took her a while to fully embrace her role as a mother and how over time she was able to re-evaluate her priorities, realise that trying to do it all was impossible and a cause of stress to her and how she came to accept her new, maternal identity.

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, Elevating Child Care: A Guide to Respectful Parenting and No Bad Kids: Toddler Discipline Without Shame. 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.  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.  Where to learn more about RIE and Janet Lansbury...

Muitas vezes pensamos que é preciso de muito pra entretermos os nosso bebês no dia a dia, mas deixá-los no chão por um tempo para explorarem o mundo à sua maneira é muito importante e saudável para o desenvolvimento deles! Divido com vocês um pouco do que aprendi em um curso de educação infantil que fiz sobre os ensinamentos da pediatra Emmi Pickler e sua estudante, Magda Gerber. -- Esse áudio foi extraído de um vídeo originalmente publicado no YouTube em 26/02/2020

Janet Lansbury is a former actress and model who is now a parent educator, author, and speaker who takes a proven approach to dealing with young children that is based on the science of brain development. Trained by renowned infant expert Magda Gerber, Janet is the author of two books, No Bad Kids and Elevating Child Care, hosts a very popular podcast, Unruffled, and supports parents worldwide through her website, JanetLansbury.com.

Founder at Flurn, Co-founder at Sahaj Natural Learning Centre, and Defender of children's right to Freedom, Respect and Play After having completed her chartered accountancy from Ahmedabad, Ishani started her career with Ernst & Young in Mumbai and the stint lasted for a year till getting married and shifting base to Udaipur. Ishani's heart and passion have been elsewhere: she always had a strong urge to inculcate life skills in young adults and, with this intention, founded Flurn in 2011 in Udaipur; ever since its inception, Ishani has been conducting workshops for young children. Her early childhood explorations began with her motherhood. When her daughter was 5 months old, Ishani read about the life-transforming tools on respectful parenting by Magda Gerber and her life started evolving. She found answers to the questions that had been haunting her throughout the growing up years. As she introspected about her own life journey and what she had been learning, a realisation dawned upon her that if we need to change the world, we need to re-imagine how we treat our infants and toddlers. She commenced facilitating process-art workshops and Kids Life Studio workshops for the youngest children before co-founding Sahaj in Udaipur. Sahaj is her activism, it is her way of defending the child's right to play, it is her way of advocating for a more equal world for children. It is her reform project to transform the world by gifting secure, loving, trustful, joyful formative years to children. When she observes children learn naturally and joyfully at Sahaj, it gives her an assurance that the young children of today will create a ripple effect in the world by upholding the democratic principles of Sahaj while leading a happy and content adult life ahead Her experience of being a conscious parent has inspired her to conduct parent cafes, listening circles in Udaipur, Calicut and Bangalore. At Sahaj, she continues to work with parents by empowering them with highly effective and useful tools to be respectful and conscious parents. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/future-school-leaders/message

Piccoli, indifesi e incapaci. La visione che Magda Gerber aveva dei neonati era completamente diversa. Secondo lei, i neonati sono in grado di fare quello che vogliono fare, sono persone competenti, con grandi capacità e piene di interessi e desideri. I neonati non si annoiano mai e non vanno intrattenuti né stimolati. Il tempo che trascorriamo con loro si divide in tempo di qualità con uno scopo ("want something time") e tempo di qualità senza uno scopo ("want nothing time"). L'approccio di Magda verso i neonati pone le basi per una solida relazione genitore-figlio in futuro. *** Scarica gratuitamente il PDF riassuntivo che puoi stampare o tenere sul cellulare https://fantastic-trailblazer-8711.ck.page/93fa7398d6  ***MSH Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mammasuperhero MSH Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mammasuperhero/ MSH Blog:

About Jenny Jenny is a journalist and mother that teaches about parenting from a different angle. Jenny has taken time to research and find parenting practices that allow parents and children to have more peace. By looking at history Jenny has found basic principles for parenting that allow parents to do less and enjoy their child more. Evolution of parenting Humans have evolved over the last 200,000 years without toys, without any stores that had toys, or Pinterest that had activities for kiddos. We have thrived without toys. So when did this need for toys start? When Jenny looks back on her research she finds that at the start of the industrial revolution is when toys became available. Jenny also notes that happiness started to decrease at the same time as well. This is also around the time that many parenting books came out that encouraged self-soothing and the thought that children need to be ignored so that you don’t spoil them. And so in place of that, we actually stopped honoring the most important thing that a child needs, which is a secure attachment to their parent or to their primary caregiver. And we started to give them toys and materials in place of that, which is the lousiest replacement. An Alternative Parenting Style  Jenny has been working hard to let parents know that you don’t have to stress yourself with purchasing toys and finding activities for your kids. News flash. Jenny doesn’t set up any activities for her daughter. And her daughter is learning and having fun every day. What she does is utilize RIE parenting. RIE parenting stands for Respectful Infant Educarer Parenting. RIE Parenting was created by Magda Gerber in the 1980s but was inspired by a Hungarian pediatrician, Emmi Pikler. He observed children thrive when they just played freely and unstructured in their environment. He also found that kids learn casually not testing by testing. Children were learning their alphabet by singing songs versus testing them with posters on the wall. So if we look inside of our houses, we have measuring cups. Those are stacking toys, right? And most of the things we see on Pinterest, putting balls in the holes, stacking color, sorting, all of Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/realhappymom)

Quote: The best play objects for babies are those which allow them to be as active and competent as possible at every stage of development. –Magda Gerber    Book Pick! Loose Parts 2: Inspiring Play for Infants and ToddlersBy Miriam Beloglovosky and Jenna Daly This follow up book looks specifically at the younger crowd. It focuses on different schema in children's play centered on object exploration, assembly exploration, instrumental exploration, locomotion, and action. Each schema topic has several subtopics, such as throwing, trajectory, pretending, constructing.

What is – WHAT? Resources for Infant Educarers, or RIE (pronounced like Rye bread) is the parenting approach that we use with our daughter Carys which is grounded in respect for the child.  I’ve wanted to do an episode on this topic ever since I started the show but at first I didn’t want you thinking I was all California-granola-hippie-crazy and stop listening.  Now I figure there are enough of you that have been listening for quite a while that you’re willing to at least listen to this ‘respect for children’ idea. Because it’s no exaggeration to say that it has literally transformed my parenting, and underpins every interaction I have with my daughter.  I’m so proud of the relationship we have that’s based in our respect for each other. In this episode we’ll cover a brief history of how RIE came into existence, Magda Gerber’s eight qualities of a good parent, and how to encourage your child to play independently… And I’ll be honest and say that this is probably the first episode in the entire show which is not grounded in scientific research because I wanted to give you an overview of RIE first – and also discuss the parts of it we didn’t/don’t practice, before we devote an entire upcoming episode to what aspects of RIE are supported by scientific research – so stay tuned for that!

Today we’re going to talk about a topic that is near and dear to my heart, and that is what is known as Resources for Infant Educarers, which is abbreviated to RIE, which (for reasons I’ve never understood) is pronounced “Rye.”  Now I’m guessing that those of you listening to this right now are dividing yourselves into two groups: those of you in one group are saying “finally!” and those of you in the other are thinking “Resources for Infant – what???.”  So this episode will really be for those of you in the second group to learn about RIE, and those of you in the first can listen along and nod your heads and email me afterward if I got any of it wrong.  This will probably be the first episode in this entire show where we really don’t discuss much in the way of scientific research, because I actually have an entire episode lined up that delves into what aspects of RIE are supported by the literature, so we’re not going to do that here.  And I should also acknowledge that I’m going to tell you about the core principles of RIE but I’m also going to tell you about the parts of it that I didn’t or don’t practice, because I really don’t follow any approach dogmatically. So where did RIE come from?  Well, I was surprised to learn that it actually originated in the work of Dr. Emmi Pikler, who worked in Austria and Hungary in the middle of the 20th Century.  She had seen that working class children who played on the street had lower rates of injuries than middle class children who played inside under a governess’ watchful eye.  She also studied with two doctors who focused on treating children as people, rather than just as an illness that needed to be fixed, and who believed in the importance of being outside, playing a lot, and following the child’s lead regarding food – so not forcing the child to eat even a single spoonful more than they wanted. In 1930, Dr. Pickler married a high school math teacher who held progressive views, including that children should study at their own pace of development.  When they had a daughter, Anna, in 1931, they agreed that they would...

Do you ever wonder why your child does the things that they do? Have you ever worried about the impact you are having on their growth and development as a person? In this episode, Kate deep dives into what makes our kids unique, how to love and appreciate them for who they truly are, and how to support them with patience and love from infancy through childhood. This in-depth episode will leave you feeling encouraged and prepared to guide your children to become independent and amazing adults.   Mentioned in this episode: Episode 02 motherhood mission statement exercise John Locke's “Tabula rasa” theory on children “the purpose of the child's early birth is now clear. It allows for the development of independence, coordinated movement, language, and will, in relationship to an environment set in historical time. Adaptation to human circumstances and custom is therefore virtually limitless. The child is a spiritual being who asks, why am I here? What is my task, my responsibility? Adults need to recognize this search for purpose inlife as they seek to aid the child in her completion as a human being.”  excerpted from: “Montessori from the Start” book by Paula Polk Lillard and Lynn Lillard Jessen. This book has been influential to the way I view infancy and toddlerhood, and I highly recommend it! Here is an incredible interview on infant sleep with James McKenna, Director of the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame. “an infant always learns. The less we interfere with the natural process of learning, the more we can observe how much infants learn all the time.” quote from Magda Gerber, childhood expert and author of Your Self-Confident Baby: How to Encourage Your Child's Natural Abilities -- From the Very Start Kim John Payne on the importance of filtering out the adult world.

In this episode: Janet responds to two comments from one of her website articles, “Independent Play: 5 Hints to Get the Ball Rolling”(http://bit.ly/2iEdOPV). First, a mother’s question about reading and her 13-month-old’s demands for attention when she has other things to do; and then another mom’s critique of Janet’s advice. Both comments bring up helpful points but highlight certain misconceptions about Magda Gerber and Janet’s parenting approach.

Janet Lansbury – Show Notes     Janet Lansbury is a renowned author, with a new book recently published called “No Bad Kids: Toddler Discipline Without Shame.” She is a parenting teacher, a lecturer and she has over 20 years of experience guiding hundreds of parents and their toddlers.     Janet says that the concept for her book comes from the recognition that children are born as whole people.     “They’re not bad seeds that we have to turn into good plants”     She felt compelled to write the book and says children need guides as they’re going to experiment will all sorts of behaviors.     “Your ultimate goal is having a respectful, trusting, close relationship with your child”     By telling kids that they are bad, they will end up acting uncomfortably in the relationship, which Janet says won’t help them.     She has three children, and when she first gave birth, she thought it would be natural and her instincts would just take over. She ended up finding herself surprised and overwhelmed.     “I realized I needed some kind of framework, of structure”     She heard about the RIE Approach, founded by Magda Gerber. She went to one of the classes and found it made sense, and it made her enjoy parenting so much more.     She started training with Magda Gerber and teaching her methods, which allowed her to be in a classroom with parents. By doing this, Janet was able to see how they interacted with their children.     “It’s an incredible way of learning that really can’t be matched. There was nothing like this experience.”     Janet believes that it comes down to how we perceive our children. She went from seeing her baby as someone that needed to be provided for to someone that was interesting on her own. She wanted to learn more about her baby, and her passions.     The RIE Approach creates spaces that are safe for children, where they can do what they want. She calls this a “Yes” space.     This provides a chance to develop the most ideal parent-child relationship.    “(As parents) we have a lot of power; so we get to really work on ourselves here.”    Janet shares that there has been a shift over the past 5 years, with more dads attending her classes and some of her classes being made up entirely of men.     “Know that your job is to be a leader in terms of behaviour and what you’re going to let your kids do”     She says that toddlers often push limits. It’s a time when children are making a huge step in their own development, towards being more separate from their parents in terms of how they think about themselves.     Janet believes that it’s actually very healthy, as they are trying to be their own person.     “You’ve got to keep reminding yourself, there’s always a reason (they’re acting a certain way). It’s always healthy for them to get it out of their bodies.”     Her books are a collection of over 400 articles she’s written for her website in the past 6 years.     The biggest challenge she faced was being attacked by others when she first started writing.     “I don’t like that people are saying mean things but I still believe in this. In a way, it gives you more confidence in yourself.”    Janet’s goal with her articles is just to help others, and make their lives easier.     “When I write just to help, it’s really hard for people to argue with it”     Her husband edits her articles, and Janet says that they get along better because they work together.     INTERVIEW LINKS:     www.JanetLansbury.com    https://www.facebook.com/janetlansburyElevatingChildCare    *Janet also hosts her own podcast, “Respectful Parenting: Janet Lansbury Unruffled”

Our lives are so busy nowadays that we are almost always multitasking to the extent that those around us let us get away with it. We rarely take the time to be fully present for others and allow our observations to inform how we treat them. When we are not attuned to others, we rely on our assumptions about what they are need. These assumptions are often wrong, leaving others feeling disempowered and disrespected. What are the consequences when we allow these assumptions to guide how we treat small children? What is there to see when you are observing a baby? Is there really an empowering and respectful way to change a diaper? In Baby Knows Best: Raising a Confident and Resourceful Child, the RIE Way (Little, Brown, and Co., 2015), Deborah Carlisle Solomon outlines the parenting approach first developed by Magda Gerber and Resources for Infant Educarers 35 years ago for parents and teachers in a changing world. Solomon joins New Books in Education for the interview. You can find more information about Resources for Infant Educarers on its website.

In this episode: The interventions we use when children battle over toys or engage in other social struggles are reflective of our perceptions of their abilities, as well as our general attitudes toward learning and ‘struggle’. Do we perceive babies, toddlers and preschoolers as basically capable? Or fragile and needy? Are our children born active, self-directed learners (as child specialist Magda Gerber asserted), or do they need us to manage their development from day one? Should we prevent children from struggling, avoid frustration and disappointment, or are age-appropriate conflicts healthy learning opportunities? My experiences working with infants and toddlers confirm Magda Gerber’s assertions about their competency and the benefits of allowing them to learn through conflict.

In this episode: I always try to be as specific and descriptive as possible in my writing, because I am acutely aware how challenging it is to communicate Magda Gerber’s respectful care practices through the written word. To my amazement, many of my readers do understand and successfully implement these practices without ever seeing (or hearing) them demonstrated. My hat’s off to you! But for others who prefer show and tell, this podcast covers the very popular topic of setting limits: doing it confidently; acknowledging feelings; and honest consequences.
