Respectfully Yours

Respect for infants is the basis of Magda Gerber’s philosophy and is shown in part by trusting them to learn on their own and not expecting them to do what they cannot. Sensitive observation with full attention and no preconceived ideas enables caregivers and parents to learn the baby’s signal early resulting in better communication with the child.
