Thoughts On Healthy Parenting...

A RIE Parent Perspective on Early Intervention

0 Comments

 
I have struggled for years combining my work as a developmental therapist in Early Intervention and my philosophy on child development and parenting.  As a therapist, I've felt pressure to conform to the norms and widely-held beliefs about how therapy should "look."  Though these norms always made me feel uncomfortable, I didn't know what else to do as a therapist until I learned about RIE and the idea of respectful parenting.  With RIE I have found that less is often more. In the conversation below, the idea of "less is more" is explained in my response to the parent of an infant receiving physical therapy who shares her struggles with the approach to therapy and her philosophy on supporting a child's development.
