CONTENTS:  

During the 8 sessions of this workshop, we will talk about ways in which elements of the Pikler Pedagogical Approach may be incorporated into programs offered to parents with infants and toddlers. Each pair of sessions will have one of the below topics as its focal point, during which we will discuss how to best support parents in discovering:  

  • the importance of free movement and gross motor development at children’s own pace 

  • the role of exploration and the autonomous development of play activities 

  • the social skills and the inclination of the youngest to cooperate 

  • the significance of observation in supporting the development of children aged 0-3. 

Structure of each pair of sessions (2x3 hours, with short breaks):  

  1. Specifics of the Pikler Approach  

  2. Pedagogy and Best Practices in the Pikler House’s Parent-Child Groups  

  3. Sharing Participants’ PCG Practices (based on Participants’ previously submitted descriptions of observations) 

    Short video scenes taken at our Parent-Child Groups will be employed throughout the workshop
    to help deepen your understanding of the Pikler Approach.
