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.

When one thinks of traditional parenting, one might remember a stern talking to, or maybe even punished. In many ways, the traditional paradigm of parenting has been quite disciplinarian. In some regards, this has changed over the last several years. Many thought leaders and therapists now seem to be encouraging a different approach – one based less on punishment and ‘taking things away', but more based on understanding our children's feelings, walking them through their emotions, and not relying as heavily on punishment and consequences. So what exactly spawned this transformation? And how are kids being raised differently than they used to.

Selecting the perfect diaper bag is one of the most important decisions you'll make in the world of baby accessories. Finding the right combination of size, style, organization, and usefulness can be a challenge. Classy, sophisticated, sleek and luxurious, the Monaco diaper bag by Luli Bebe is one-of-a-kind in the world of chic and modern baby gear. Being a mom doesn't mean you need to sacrifice style! Luxury and unique diaper bags for the modern momma. Web: https://lulibebeus.com/ Follow: @luli.bebe Promo Code: ashsaidit It used to be that the words “diaper bag” brought up images of lumpy, dumpy bags with plastic linings and frou-frou designs. Becoming a parent doesn't mean giving up on style for the sake of function, but so many diaper bags on the market don't have that distinction. Those days are over with parents in the know. The Monaco and Petit Monaco diaper bags from LuliBebé have changed everything. The soft vegan faux leather texture is elegant yet easy to care for, able to take spills without missing a beat. The bags can be worn as a backpack—popular with dads too—a shoulder/crossbody bag, or attached to a stroller with clips (included). The central satin lined main storage area is ringed with eight pockets, so it's easy to keep all of the baby's things organized, whether it's for a day at the pool, or sightseeing during a family getaway . The changing mat and external pockets for phones, keys and more, make this diaper bag versatile and still fun to carry. Traveling with young children is an exercise in making sure everything parents need is at the ready but that is easily done with the Monaco diaper bag line. Diapers, wipes, a blanket and soothers… all within easy reach in pockets that keep it all organized, instead of a jumble. The open top design of the bag makes it easy to see and get what you need quickly, and the elegant look will have others wondering if in fact it's a diaper bag and not the latest “it bag”. A trip across the country or just down the road is a lot more practical and bursting with style, with LuliBebé Monaco diaper bags.

A list of parenting quotes for smart parenting styles.From encouraging schoolwork and sports to modeling values as a child grows (remember, they do as you do, not as you say!) parents exert enormous influence over their children's lives. They are, however, not the only on-the-ground influencers—especially after children enter school and begin interacting with the world at large.Most parents work to give children the best start possible, but it's also important for parents to recognize that kids come into the world with their own temperaments, personalities, and goals. While parents may want to push their child down a certain path, a parents' job is to provide an interface with the world that ultimately prepares a child for complete independence and the ab Spoken by my virtual assistant ility to pursue whatever path they choose.In a rapidly changing world, parenting can be subject to fads and changing styles, and parenting in some privileged circles has become a competitive sport. But the needs of child development as delineated by science remain relatively stable: safety, structure, support, and love.I have consolidated a group of quotes focusing on how to parent in 2021. I hope you learn and sometimes laugh.

Welcome to the Teaching Your Toddler interview with Spiritual Teacher, Psychic/Medium, Speaker and Author Vincent Genna, MSW, to talk to us about Father's Intuition – What Is it? Along with what is the difference between being a Psychic and being a Medium and much more. What's the deal with mother's intuition and does biology really matter when it comes to those “feelings” you get when you know something is happening with your child? Can dad have that too? The answer, of course, is YES! Vincent will tell us the root of where all of those feelings come from and how they manifest differently in moms and dads. Listen now to find out more about what the Intuitive Mind does vs the Intellectual Mind and how adoptive parents can develop these very same intuitions. Vincent has a fascinating background in his path to developing his psychic and mediumship abilities. Please read his bio found here.

Welcome to the Teaching Your Toddler interview with Parenting Expert and Former Elementary School Teacher Laura Linn Knight as she talks to our host Marijo Tinlin about incredibly practical calming technique to take your child (and you) from crazy to calm. Laura is a former kindergarten and 1st grade teacher who found out that once she became a parent herself, kids are different at home than at school. Listen to Laura talk about the “Big Emotions” kids feel when they are in the safe haven of home and how that manifests itself when they are unhappy. Also, what do you do when your toddler melts down OUTSIDE of your home – what are the techniques you can use to help calm them down? (And get yourself calmed down as well!). Laura talks about the connection between the pre-frontal cortex of rational thought and how we as parents need to become that rational person for our child because they still live in their “lizard” brain portion called the amygdala. Our brains don't fully form that connection between the two parts until we are 25 so we really need to help our kids think rationally. She's offering a free download to our listeners of her brand new “Calm Cards” that have really helped when her own daughter gets upset and now they can help you and your child too. Find them on her website under “Free Calming Tools” at lauralinnknight.com For all the links mentioned in the show, please go to our webpage for this show here.  For more fun activities and story time podcasts, please visit our website at TeachingYourToddler.com Check us out on Facebook at Teaching Your Toddler and on twitter at @TeachingToddler and on Instagram at @teachingyourtoddler

When my kids were still babies, I wanted them so much to walk as soon as possible! But when Emmi started crawling, I thought that I might've wished for it too quickly. I found out the hard way that they're going to fall and get bruises! It was scary how much they bruise that age. I was paranoid someone would call CPS on us. We parent paranoia! We quickly learn to help them avoid bumps and bruises by keeping our home as toddler-safe as we could.

I am into a new phase with my daughter. She is a toddler and the change in her is visible more than ever.There are frequent power struggles, she is able to express herself clearly and there are conflicts. She can be stubborn at times that she will stick with what she wants. She knows that her words are being received in the way she wants.And so it makes it even more important to know what development stage they are. It helps to know what to expect from them.It also helps to know what methods should be applied to help them calm down.

Has life been hard? YES! But together lets build a relentless fire that cannot be stopped and finish this year out strong!

We get one life .. are you checking the box of 'shoulds' or are you checking the box of 'wants'. There is no replay or restart in this life and it's time to do it big

Our lives are filled with busy schedules, to-do-list and challenges that can cause anyone to get frustrated.  Sometimes those frustrations will lead to you having a lack of patience with your children.  Although, you may not mean to rush them or lose it when they don’t listen the first time, not having patience happens.  That’s real life, but there are those times when you do have patience and I want to talk to you about those times.  Our patience shows our children that we have confidence and faith in them.  Having patience with young children can have powerful outcomes.  On this episode I invite a very special guest on our finale episode.  She shares a story from a time in my life that literally changed my life.  Today’s special guest is my mother.  Join us for this conversation on patience.  Let’s talk about it.  Listen to episode 21 now.  Don't forget to check in every Wednesday for a new episode. Come hang out with me on Instagram or Pinterest (@monicajsutton), so we can hold each other accountable on understanding your child's behavior and development and how to best approach the daily ups and downs.  Chat soon!
