don't fad out

Now another Hollywood backed parenting program is being launched called Resources for Infant Educarers.

according to this article: the RIE philosophy has spread among parents via word-of-mouth. It has its own tight-knit circle of instructors; its own rituals (the narration of the diaper change); its own spare aesthetic (no mirrors, no dangling mobiles, no Baby Einstein); and its own set of guidelines (no singing, no rocking, no playpens). All of this honors the baby’s “struggle” and builds a more “authentic self,” proponents believe. RIE toys are simple—a paisley scarf, a wooden spoon, a plastic colander—so as to stimulate imagination and motor skills. And baby days are calm; there’s no running multiple errands with the little one in tow.

You know what this sounds like. My "Raised By Wolves" Babycare Technique.

Those bastards are ripping me off. How dare they think they can do better than a cooler child care movement than the one I devised for my own child! My child's favorite toys are kitchen tools - along with all the stuff necessary to make soccer balls and clothes that are part of a major star's line at Ivey's. I'm coming after Jason Alexander so hard, he'll wish he he'd been covered in Col. Sander's original recipe. 11 herbs and spices topped off with a can of my Whoopass.
