No Bad Kids: Toddler Discipline Without Shame

A former actress and model, Janet’s passion for parent education began when she became a mother and sought guidance from infant expert Magda Gerber. Deeply inspired and grateful for her wisdom, she began training with Magda professionally. For the last 20 years, Janet has taught RIE parenting classes in Los Angeles, been a presenter at numerous early childhood conferences, written parenting articles, and served on the board of directors of Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE).

Janet is privileged to now be supporting hundreds of thousands of parents across the globe through her website JanetLansbury.com, sharing insights gained through her parenting classes and personal experiences as a mother of three. Janet encourages parents and child care professionals to perceive babies as unique, capable human beings with natural abilities to learn without being taught; to develop motor and cognitive skills; communicate; face age appropriate struggles; initiate and direct independent play for extended periods; and much more.

“Respectful Parenting: Janet Lansbury Unruffled” is one of the most downloaded parenting podcasts on the web and recommended listening by "The Washington Post" and scores of other "Best Of..." lists for anyone seeking guidance in parenting. Her audio series "Sessions" is available on her website and features intimate recorded consultations with parents.
