Paying Attention to Each Other
Infant and Adult during the Bath By Anna Tardos and Genevieve Appell In four bath-time scenes we see children between 8 and 12 months of age with their respective care-takers. The film shows how each bath-time with its protagonists is unique although all four bath scenes follow the same order of events. The quality of attention that both child and adult pay one another is of central importance here. It is this dialogue that allows the infant to define him or herself and play an active role in his or her own development.

Freedom to Move On One's Own
By Anna Tardos and Agnes Szanto It was the Hungarian pediatrician, Emmi Pikler, who called attention to a child's independent development of motor skills. Given the freedom to move on their own, children will learn themselves and of their own initiative to sit up, stand up and walk. The three children in this film are living at the Emmi Pikler Institute in Budapest, Hungary, where they have warm and stable relationships with the adults taking care of them. We will see how important moving and exploring variations of movement is in their lives.

Babies and Children with Each Other
By Maria Vincze, Genevieve Appell and Judit Falk This film documents a long-term study by Dr Mária Vincze, in which she observes a group of children living together at the Emmi Pikler Institute in Budapest. The children are three months of age at the beginning of the study and two-and-a-half years old at the end. Dr Vincze observes the children as they live, play and develop in a secure and trusting environment.

Bathing the Baby
Concern, Empathy and Acquired Gestures (1) By Julianna Vamos and Iren Csatari "If the child can trust to be able to influence the events happening to him, if he can feel that he is not a passive receiver, but an active participant of his care, then his sense of competence will grow stronger. If he is never dealt with as if he was an object - be it either precious or worthless - but as a human being who feels, observes, remembers and understands or will understand, if the words and gestures are not only nice but they also consider the sensitivity of the child continuously, then a real dialogue during care will form between the two partners starting at the youngest age." - Judit Falk, M.

NEW Pikler® SpielRaum
A film by Pikler® pedagogue Stephanie Küpper, filmed by Laura Lazzarin (Pikler® pedagogue trainee). Film with English subtitles available from gemeinsamwachsen.vhx.tv "By her pedagogical work as well as considerations about it, Stephanie Küpper invites parents, pedagogies and educators to reflect. The bases for this are the findings of Emmi Pikler who has provided us with essential insights into early childhood development by decades of research and practical work. The camera is very close to the action giving us the possibility to participate in the children‘s, parents‘ and educators‘ experiences directly. Thus it‘s becoming apparent that from the very beginning infants and toddlers do have an unlimited ambition to discover and experience the world independently. We, the adults, may witness and enjoy that, providing a loving and reliable framework that allows for a respectful approach to the child." |
