Why RDI?

September 18, 2012

I recently asked a few parents that I work with about why they chose to learn

about Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) and what makes it effective

for them.

One parent described how she felt such intense pressure that she would have to

teach her child the solution to every problem that he might ever face. In RDI,

she has focused on increasing his dynamic intelligence, or his ability to make

decisions in increasingly complex and challenging environments. This parent

reports that she first had to strengthen her own decision making in relation to

her child. She needed to become less problem focused, and more focused on her

own thinking. She reports that RDI has taught her how to self-reflect, and that

this self-reflection has lead to surprising changes in her child.

Here is what two other mother's are saying:

" I started RDI in January and in just a few months have already seen positive

improvements in my boys which has helped my household be more manageable and

peaceful. I had problems really connecting with one of my twins, he was distant

and not very loving with me and it was painful to see in the videos how much I

tried to hard to get him to interact but would get nothing in return. With just

a few guiding activities he learned that I was interesting and that it was fun

to do activities with mom. Now this twin is very close to me, openly loving,

caring and shows empathy. It is amazing that growth in one developmental area

has helped him blossom in so many different areas. I can't say enough positive

things about RDI, it is life changing and is the missing piece that my kids

needed to learn to communicate and interact in a more natural and typical

manner. "

" RDI has been life changing for my family. Our consultant gets it and works

hard to help me get it as well. Even though we are relatively new to RDI, we

have already experienced positive changes in our home. Our interactions are

healthier and I am becoming a more confident guide. I am grateful that RDI is a

part of our lives. It gives me hope for a better future. "
