I got to witness my daughter roll from her back to her tummy on her own, without any help, and the look of quiet pride on her face reinforced for me why we’re doing the RIE approach.
This week I will sit on my hands and just observe as she tackles and struggles with her new favorite activity: a jigsaw puzzle.
I found myself trying to explain a jigsaw puzzle to M just yesterday, and I had to rewind myself and back up and let her figure it out at her own pace! It will be so interesting to see her process with it
Thank you for these reminders, Claire!

I am going to apply this challenge to parenting my five year old this week - will “sit on my hands” more - a good reminder. Thank you!
