Elevating Child Care
Elevating Child Care: A Guide to Respectful Parenting | Janet Lansbury
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Janet Lansbury's advice on respectful parenting is quoted and shared by millions of readers worldwide. Inspired by the pioneering parenting philosophy of her friend and mentor, Magda Gerber, Janet's influential voice encourages parents and child care professionals to perceive babies as unique, capable human beings with natural abilities to learn without being taught; to develop motor and cognitive skills; communicate; face age appropriate struggles; initiate and direct independent play for extended periods; and much more. Once we are able to view our children in this light, even the most common daily parenting experiences become stimulating opportunities to learn, discover, and to connect with our child. Elevating Child Care is a collection of 30 popular and widely read articles from Janet's website that focus on some of the most common infant/toddler issues: eating, sleeping, diaper changes, communication, separation, focus and attention span, creativity, boundaries, and more. Eschewing the quick-fix 'tips and tricks' of popular parenting culture, Janet's insightful philosophy lays the foundation for a closer, more fulfilling parent/child relationship, and children who grow up to be authentic, confident, successful adults.

I've been reading Lansbury's blog for a while, so I already knew I liked her parenting philosophy. I was a bit disappointed to realize that this book is reprinted blog articles, so I'd already read a few, but a lot of the articles were more basic than the ones I'd found. I'm satisfied that this gave me the stronger grounding in her philosophy that I'd been hoping for.

I decided to take advantage of my parents' bathtub, which is far easier to get into than my own, and take a bath to soothe my sore hips. (I'm at their house for the weekend for my baby shower. Photo of the baby shower book haul to come!) My mom set the whole bath up for me. She even brought my tea to the edge of the tub. 😍💗
