During our Thursday and Friday Two-Day Intensive Event, Zsuzsa will share with us Piklerian ideas of the role of free movement, free play and care in a child’s social growth and well-being. She will use videos from the Pikler Day Care for participants to analyze and discuss. We will consider together what responsive and thoughtful care for infants and toddlers might mean.
