Babies and young children are highly attuned to the world around them, subtle shifts in language and attitude can make a huge difference in helping them cooperate, feel calm and safe. Maria uses RIE priciples as a starting point, and we have some guidelines we ask that parents follow during class, but please pick what resonates for you and leave what doesn’t!

PRIVATE SESSIONS
Children who feel heard, respected and connected to their adults are naturally resilient and more cooperative, and it starts with you! Maria can assess any potential problem areas with a home or playground visit, and find solutions to help you manage your day to day interactions with your children peacefully. Because this is something that sometimes just needs an outsider’s perspective, she offers a one hour visit with an email recap. Not ready for in-person or just need to vent? A 30-60 minute Zoom call is another option. Because everybody who needs help deserves it, affordable solutions are the goal!
