About this listen

The highly anticipated, essential roadmap to caring for, understanding, comforting, and bonding with infants and toddlers—from the beloved parenting consultant and #1 podcaster.

Most parenting books focus on what to do with and for your baby. Baby Person invites you to reconsider how you see your child in the first place: rather than a blank slate you must mold and shape, your baby is a thinking, expressive person, capable of being in relationship with you from birth. In pioneering infant and child expert Janet Lansbury’s warm and eminently helpful hands, however, this is more than just an ideology; Baby Person makes it actionable.

Drawing on the central tenets of the RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) philosophy, as well as Lansbury's more than thirty years working with families and being a parent herself, Baby Person gives parents the tools to deal confidently with the pressure points they face every day—from helping a child sleep peacefully and eat readily to encouraging them to accept and even appreciate boundaries. With sound advice on everything from tantrums to potty training, Lansbury guides caregivers through these early years with tools that alleviate anxiety and promote joyful connection, giving parents the permission to worry less and enjoy the relationship—and their role in it—more.

A guide sure to be cherished by readers everywhere, Baby Person will reframe the way a whole generation relates to the little people in their lives, becoming the calm and emotionally present caregivers they want to be now and beyond the tender first few years.
