These days, some parents are also questioning their methods of raising children and one popular idea that many have been trying is called RIE. RIE RIE stands for Resources for Infant Educarers and the first thing this method emphasizes is to be mindful with babies. It also encourages babies to start becoming their own little people.
This is where parents use the philosophy of RIE to let their babies learn and grow at their own pace. This means we need to slow down and stop shuffling babies around, trying desperately to get them to hit arbitrary milestones. RIE philosophy believes that babies are intelligent and tiny human who deserve to be treated kindly. This may be, for instance) as opposed to picking up a baby each time they cry, holding off instead. If left on her own they watch to see if the baby calms herself or cries louder. But it also helps infants become more secure within themselves and socializes them in vital problem-solving strategies that create a strong self-concept.
It is also about paying attention to what they want if when babies later are WiTt. They might lead with those sorts of questions, and if they do, a very simple way to counter that is simply using what are called "serve and return" interactions. When a baby coos or reaches out, that is met with responsiveness; the resulting interactions will likely reinforce similar behaviors in future. It is a small talk! This, by the way, gives space for baby to take a turn in conversation. Such a form of interaction helps in developing trust and understanding for both the parent and baby which further makes their relationship stronger.
One central element in RIE is communication. Babies are communicating at all times during the first few months in their lives, from crying for every reason possible to cooing and making facial expressions. Cernansky writes that by paying close attention to these signals, caregivers can help decode what the little one is trying to say. While it can be challenging, understanding the underlying facts about why your loved one refuses to take their medications wildly improves how you handle them. When parents respond well to these signals an emotional bond is developed between the parent and baby, allowing them even stronger connection.
The RIE approach was founded by Magda Gerber. She envisioned offering parents support to establish with their babies “respectful, peaceful & cooperative relationships. Gerber said that the baby should be free to learn while feeling safe and secure. RIE teaches parents to make their homes places where babies are free to move and explore without constant supervision, with materials that encourage learning on the baby's timescale. It means that babies do not need many toys to entertain them. Instead, they have the ability to educate and expand by doing everything with a safe environment.
If parents want to learn more about the RIE approach, there is a wealth of resources out there. The official RIE website offers plenty of information about classes and workshops that parents can attend. Each of these classes offers parents how to apply the principles of RIE in your life. Parents also have some wonderful books to complement the program. Another helpful title would be, Your Self-Confident Baby by Magda Gerber (or if you'd rather a book..., Dear Parent: Caring for Infants with Respect which is co-written by Magda Gerber and Joan Weaver). These resources deliver very valuable insights for parents interested in practicing respectful and mindful ways to approach their babies.
