Self-Initiated Motor Development led by Hungarian faculty Dr. Gabriella Püspöki, (former Director of the Pikler Institute,) Szilvia Papp and Elsa Chahin, October 21-25
OPEN TO ALL – Dr. Emmi Pikler’s observations about the free movement of the infant open a new perspective in understanding not only the principles of motor development, but also its influence on the development of the young child’s personality. Participants of this seminar can explore the intact, natural process of motor development, which can only be observed if we do not directly intervene in movement. Besides healthy motor development, we also discuss slow development, gross motor equipment, and the appropriate environment in which to support free movement. The fee is only for the course instruction; we cannot provide participant’s accommodations, meals or airfare. Read more…

Observation led by Hungarian faculty from the Pikler® House in Budapest, Judit Kelemen, Dr. Eszter Mózes and Elsa Chahin, October 28-November 1
ADVANCED-Level Pikler® Course, participants must have completed all three basic courses. The observation method used at the Pikler Institute is an important element of the Pikler approach. Observation is the key to understanding infant and toddler needs and behavior. Observation allows us to follow and monitor individual children’s developmental progress with accuracy. Accurate observation informs the adult’s decisions on how to structure the environment to best facilitate the next stages of developmental unfolding for each child. During this seminar, you will learn about the methodology for observation, and you will practice and grow your own skills. The fee is only for the course instruction; we cannot provide participant’s accommodations, meals or airfare. Read more…
