Parenting Education Resources from Susanne Doecke

Thank you to all the parents who joined me for last week’s Parenting with Warmth & Boundaries session. It was a joy to spend the afternoon together exploring how we can support our children with loving authority, clear expectations, and a deep respect for their developmental needs.

As promised, here are the key resources I referred to during the talk. Each of these offers thoughtful, practical, and developmentally informed approaches to parenting and caregiving:

1. Elevating Childcare by Janet LansburyA highly accessible book grounded in respectful parenting principles. Janet also shares excellent free articles and podcasts on her website and blog.

2. RIE – Resources for Infant Educarers A rich source of guidance for parents of infants and toddlers, focused on respect, observation, and supporting natural development. 🔗 https://rie.org

3. Circle of Security An internationally recognised program that helps parents understand children’s emotional needs, attachment, and behaviour patterns. 🔗 https://www.circleofsecurityinternational.com/pages/what-is-the-circle-of-security

4. Conscious, Creative, Courageous Living with Children A resource focused on child development and supporting children through the unfolding stages of growth. 🔗 https://www.creativelivingwithchildren.com/

I hope these links continue to support you on your parenting journey.

Warmly,

Susanne Doecke
