RIE® Parent-Infant/Toddler Guidance™ Classes in Pasadena:
I offer ongoing Certified RIE® Parent-Infant Guidance™ classes which encourage babies to be attentive, active, exploring and aware of self and others. Designed to encourage children to become authentic and responsible from an early age, Parent-Infant Guidance classes help parents to be confident in their supportive role towards this great discovery. Small groups of parents and babies come together in a relaxing, infant-friendly environment to take pleasure in the infants’ unfolding development and play. Groups are on-going and remain together in continuous eight-week sessions until the youngest turns two. Whenever possible, infants are grouped according to their stages of motor development. Topics for discussion often include:
Age-appropriate expectations
The importance of play in children’s learning
Balancing parents’ and children’s needs and wants
Establishing clear, consistent, and appropriate limits
Adapting the home environment as baby grows
Sessions for 2018

RIE® Foundations: Theory & Observation™ Courses for Parents & Professionals:
The course provides an overview of the Educaring® Approach including psycho-motor, fine motor, social-emotional development of the infant, designing the environment, planning the curriculum, and issues in parenting. This course is designed to enhance the skills and competencies of parents and professionals who work in the field of infant care, teach in a college environment, work with parents, or train students in infant care and development. Participants will actively learn about Magda Gerber’s Educaring™ Approach through lectures, videos, discussions, observations, reading and writing. Each student will be mentored according to his or her goals.
