Review: Awesome concept, that: r-e-s-p-e-c-t! - Who would ever have thought that the same generation that produced super-authoritarian parents would also produce some of the most compassionate advocates of children! Having been raised in a home that had measures of super-strictness tempered with some respect, I can say that Magda addresses all the things I wished for as a child: someone to let me know I was worth paying attention to, a lot of "permission" to do things for myself when *I* felt ready, and lots of compassion. Ms. Gerber most definitely asks the reader to consider treating those newest among us with the same care and dignity that we treat our friends--BUT she does NOT advocate letting the little ones run roughshod over us. Instead, she reminds the adults to *be* the adult and care for their own needs as well as those of the children...and wonder of wonders she advocates a way that LOWERS the stress of all involved! Cheer, cheer! This is a wonderful book to have in your "toolkit" of child-caring techniques, and I find that the chapters are short and easy to refresh me in my goals during a few minutes read. I would recommend it for almost everyone...but not for those who believe children are at heart evil little wretches filled with "original sin" that we must beat out of them. This book won't fit that philosophy.
Review: A complete book not only for parents but for any one caring for infants - The book is based on respect for children and allowing the natural pace of growth to happen with as less as possible interruption as possible for example the book recommends to let child sit or walk when he/she is ready and can do it on his/her own. This will first of all give them self confidence and would have stronger and healthier back and neck bones and muscles. Magda believes the less you do and the more you watch and observe infants natural abilities the better for the child you care for. Magda is the founder of "RIE" Resources for Infant Educarers and has a wonderful philosophy for child care. Children brought up with respect will become adults that respect themselves and others as well. Really recommend it to every one caring for infants.
