In this interview, we discuss the Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) approach; Magda Gerber’s philosophies on caring for children; how we can care for babies by slowing down and showing respect; how babies are naturally curious problem-solvers; managing our own discomfort when allowing babies to be independent to develop tenacity.
