Elevating Child Care

Elevating Child Care is a parenting guide by Janet Lansbury, a parenting educator who writes and speaks about respectful approaches to raising babies and young children. The book draws on the respectful parenting philosophy associated with Magda Gerber and her RIE approach.

Its central idea is that children, even very young ones, are capable people who thrive when parents treat them with trust and respect. It shows how that attitude can shape everyday care, from the early months through the toddler years.

The book is aimed at parents and caregivers who want a calmer, more thoughtful way of relating to their children. It is published by Vermilion, an imprint of Ebury Publishing.
