At JHIP, we believe all children deserve to be treated with respect as individuals. We are mindful that each child's feelings are heard and understood, while giving them tools to be successful social navigators. A child's feelings can be intense, and can invoke a flight or fight response in our roles as caregivers. In these moments, it is important to stop and reflect within ourselves before reacting. Janet Lansbury is a parent educator that focuses on Magda Gerber's RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) philosophy. This article by Janet gives some strategies for implementing toddler discipline in a respectful, modulated way that the child can understand. While these mention infant/toddler specifically, it absolutely applies beyond those years.
