AlbakiReads Editorial

A RIE-based guide to treating infancy as a period of growing capability

Drawing on Magda Gerber’s RIE and Educaring principles, Deborah Carlisle Solomon presents infancy as a stage in which children can communicate, explore, solve small problems, and develop at their own pace. The book organizes that approach around everyday parenting concerns: noticing and responding to a baby’s signals, establishing sleep habits, protecting uninterrupted play, and setting consistent boundaries. Its central framework asks adults to step back from constant intervention while remaining attentive to the child’s needs and emerging independence.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents interested in the RIE or Educaring approach
  • Caregivers seeking guidance on infant cues, sleep, play, and limits
  • Adults exploring less intervention-focused approaches to early childhood care

Book overview

Raise self-confident, self-reliant children using the RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) Approach.

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.
