Hello all,In terms of parenting strategy our household has been largely mixing different elements that work for us. When he was small I was all about attachment parenting my son; tons of baby wearing, light co-sleeping and baby led weaning.As we hit toddler phase we've been introducing more "RIE" style parenting which I found to be really awesome. We found the framework outline by Janet Lansbury in "no bad kids" to work for us. Rather than distracting him from something he isn't allowed to do (bite me, kick me, push me) I simply physically stop him and tell him "I won't let you hit me". It takes 15-20 times before he realizes what I'm saying is true but we found it to be much more effective than time-ins/time-outs or distraction.I haven't seen much RIE or Montessori(I guess RIE steals a lot from Montessori) leaning parents and was wondering if anyone else was trying that method and if they had any consistent struggles or success?And to be clear mostly out style is winging it; no judgement for anyone who thinks RIE is silly or finds another parenting strategy preferable, just curiously :) via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2pRgqzF
