Calling all infant and toddler educators…

Respectful care is at the heart of early childhood education, especially when working with our youngest learners. But what does it truly mean to be respectful? Do we fully understand the roots of this philosophy, or are we unknowingly practicing misconceptions?

Too often, we hear statements like:
❌ “We do RIE here, so we don’t pick up children when they are crying.”
❌ “If you pick him up, he’ll get used to it.”
❌ “She’s just trying to get your attention—ignore her.”

These are NOT examples of Magda Gerber’s RIE® Educaring approach. It’s time to clear up the confusion and discover the authentic principles of respectful educare.
