  • there's also an element of...hey, i as parent am in charge of the timing of this. They need to understand that the parent is the guide and they can learn from him/her.

  • This is a RDI more general question. I would love to know why only mom's right answers count and the kid is always ignored until mum says it is time. I would love to find out the reason as to what is behind this in the RDI methodology.

  • i'm not sure i totally get the question, but i'll try to answer. basically you (the parent) are acting as the guide for your child, so that they are referencing you to understand the situation and know when to act on their role in it.

  • of course, eventually the kid becomes confident enough in their own ability to judge a situation and act accordingly but first, like most kids, they need to look to their parents for guidance. so it's not that you're telling the kid they're "wrong" per se, it's an exercise to teach the kid to look to you to take the lead or when they're in doubt.

  • I caution you to jump into these "RDI activities" without fully understanding the theory and purpose behind them. As you become more familiar with RDI you will learn that it is more about the process than the activity. I say this only because I don't want you to become discouraged and give up- it may be b/c the theory is missing.

  • I just learned about RDI and wanted to watch it in practice. I'll be trying some of these things with my son. It looks like there's a lot of thinking on your feet, quite literally. I see you needing to adjust for the way he reacts. Good stuff. Thanks a bunch!

  • Thank you. I love all of your videos, and will try some ideas out on my son. Will have to try and stay on top of the game :), like you do.

  • Love your videos. "We did it together!"
