BABY KNOWS BEST

Deborah Carlisle Solomon

Raising a Confident and Resourceful Child, the RIE™ Way

BABY KNOWS BEST is a comprehensive resource that shows parents how to respond to their babies' cues and signals.

Your baby knows more than you think. That's the heart of the principles and teachings of Magda Gerber, founder of RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers), and Educaring. BABY KNOWS BEST is based on Gerber's belief in babies' natural abilities to develop at their own pace, without coaxing from helicoptering or hovering parents. The Educaring Approach helps parents see their infants as competent people with a growing ability to communicate, problem-solve, and self-soothe.

BABY KNOWS BEST is a comprehensive resource that shows parents how to respond to their babies' cues and signals; how to develop healthy sleep habits; why babies need uninterrupted playtime; and how to set clear, consistent limits. The result? More relaxed parents and more confident, self-reliant children.

Deborah Carlisle Solomon is the executive director of RIE. She has addressed various national and international infancy and early?childhood conferences and workshops. She resides in Los Angeles with her husband and now RIE teenager, Elijah. RIE is hugely popular among Hollywood parents, and is taught in classes all over the U.S. It has been featured in publications including the New York Times, New York Magazine, The Atlantic, and on CBS and other media outlets.

The RIE program is the single most relatable, intuitive, and common sense approach to the modern day conundrum of parenting. Baby Knows Best is the guide book. It helps you get back to basics and makes you a better, more confident parent as you learn that Babies do indeed Know Best. A must-have.

A quietly brilliant parenting book, full of wisdom and calm guidance.

An invaluable contribution for parents and for anybody who cares about young children. RIE offers a gentle, supportive approach that fosters your self-confidence and helps you rediscover the joys of raising a child. A refreshing departure from the didactic, overly prescriptive books that seem to dominate the parenting literature. I strongly recommend it.

Outstanding! Absorbing and powerful. Deborah Solomon's experiences augment Magda Gerber's teachings and expand our thinking about who babies are and what they need. This book is loaded with potent new ideas--ideas that in some ways are quite different from the usual advice experts give parents. Easy to read, eye-opening, hard to forget!

This terrific book is written by someone who really understands daily life with a baby. Deborah Carlisle Solomon shows how you can build an enjoyable relationship with your baby through the power of observation.

One of the best things that ever happened to me as a mother was discovering RIE. I'm forever indebted to Deborah Solomon and my other RIE teachers for helping me slow down, understand and respect my baby. Even though my daughter is now nine, she is still a RIE baby at heart: calm, confident and self-motivated. Baby Knows Best is a treasure of insights and wisdom. I will be giving this invaluable book to every new mother I know.
