Pikler Workshop in the USA -
Engaging with Infants and Toddlers through Respectful and Peaceful Care
Feb 23-25, 2019
Silver Spring, Maryland, USA
Class Overview
Children move, explore, wonder, play and learn with their whole being, their minds, bodies and hearts. Adults can support this learning with a careful and caring approach that understands and respects the importance of children’s movement, thinking and feeling. This introductory workshop will explore the philosophy of Dr. Emmi Pikler, which advocates a peaceful and respectful approach to caring for babies and toddlers. Research from the Pikler Institute in Budapest, Hungary suggests that young children thrive when they are seen as participants in their own care and initiators of their own explorations and play. We will explore how careful and attentive physical care facilitates a child’s sense of competence.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday 9:00 am–5:00 pm
(Saturday and Sunday at Acorn Hill Waldorf Kindergarten & Nursery. Monday at the Silver Spring Civic Center.)
$400 (Early bird rate $350 until December 31)
Groups–two or more registrations bought together get a 10% discount (even off the early bird!)

Interfere Less Observe More
By Ruth Mason
"With all eyes riveted on images of babies and toddlers separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, and with thousands of these children placed in institutions or in last-minute foster-care arrangements, the patterns of caring for infants and children nearly 80 years ago have a lot to teach us today."

"In the Pikler pedagogy, we consider every self-initiated, autonomous, spontaneous activity as 'a play', with special attention to the eye-hand coordination and the use of the hands." - Eszter Mózes
