Understanding the RIE Approach to Parenting
The RIE approach, founded by educator Magda Gerber, emphasizes the importance of observation in parenting rather than constant interaction or stimulation. This method encourages parents to observe their infants without interruption, allowing the child to explore and learn at their own pace. It challenges traditional parenting paradigms that suggest either instinctive parenting or overly stimulating activities. By observing the child, parents can recognize them as individual beings with their own thoughts and desires, fostering a deeper connection.
