🌿🌿 Something special is coming…🌿🌿

Have you saved the date yet? 👀

The 37th Annual RIE® Infant-Toddler Conference is happening April 23 (Online) & April 24, 2027 (Los Angeles & Online)!

A day filled with learning, connection, reflection, inspiration — and plenty of opportunities to look at infants and toddlers with new eyes. 💚

More details are coming soon… but for now, put those dates on your calendar!

And a beautiful reminder from Magda Ge**er:

“What an infant needs —
what every human being wants —
is to experience the
full undivided attention
of a parent or other significant person.”

We can’t wait to share more with you!

🌿 Let’s watch him play! 🌿

What happens when we don’t show a young child the “right” way to play?

He gets to:
✨ initiate
✨ explore
✨ experiment and learn
✨ discover his own ideas
✨ build confidence through his own discoveries
✨ joy of play!

There is no “correct” way to use an open-ended toy. When we slow down and give children time and space, we may be surprised by what they come up with. 💛
