BABY PERSON

If you're a parent, you've probably already heard of Janet and are familiar with her highly successful, self-published books No Bad Kids (415,000 actual sales across print/e/audio; 93,620 Bookscan) and Elevating Childcare (136,000 actual sales; 46,479 Bookscan).

BABY PERSON is not only the first book by Janet presented for traditional publishing; it's her first ever foundational book - a totally new, highly prescriptive roadmap for the 0-3 years and beyond that explains Janet's take on the RIE philosophy and her personal story of how this approach changed her and her children and family's lives. Started in the late 70s by Magda Gerber, RIE is as fresh and relevant as ever - and growing more popular by the day, in large part due to the work of Janet Lansbury. BABY PERSON offers the revelatory idea that your baby is a formed human being to be respected, listened to, trusted - and emotionally present for, but not constantly managed, fussed over, taught, or helped. It's a wholly new way to look at your child and your relationship with your child, and it's more than a philosophy; BABY PERSON will cover specific and comprehensive advice on playtime, mealtime, sleeping, tantrums, sibling rivalry, potty training, and all the issues parents face and struggle with every day. Janet has helped thousands of people in person and millions via her various channels connect more meaningfully with their kids and feel tremendous relief in the process.
