It is essential that the child discovers as much as possible on his own. If we help him solve every problem, we deprive him of the very thing that is most important for his overall development.
– Emmi Pikler (1902-1984)
Charting a lively day in a fictitious childcare setting, this book brings to life the approach to guiding children’s early development by Emmi Pikler, Hungarian paediatrician and educator. It’s an approach that is grounded in a deep sense of respect for infants and toddlers.
