I just watched this video and thought of a recent e mail I received last week from a mother who came to RIE class with her child from age 3 months to 18 months. They recently moved out of Miami and wrote to let me know how she and her now two year old son were doing.

” J. is doing so well, he’s now two years old and speaks in complete sentences, like a three year old and everyone asks why and how this can happen. I tell them its because I always talk to him like a person (and no tv of course) I try to explain RIE to them but it really does not compute.. Sigh..”
