On behalf of PLUSA we would like to thank all of our contributors to our current Pikler® newsletter and for your interest in the Pikler® approach. Together, we are planting a seed of peace and hope for humanity. Happy reading!
In honorable remembrance of Klara Pap
Our Pikler Family is mourning the loss of beloved illustrator, colleague and friend, Klara Pap.
Klara Pap was the recipient of the 2016 Emmi Pikler Award for her valuable contributions to the Pikler® approach.
If you know about Dr. Pikler, you have seen the illustrations that accompany her writings. Klara Pap’s drawings of infants and young children have become key in describing Dr. Emmi Pikler’s work through her series of illustrations. Klara Pap worked closely with Dr. Pikler by sketching the natural progression of children’s gross motor development as well as the tender moments of care at Lóczy, the infants’ home in Budapest, Hungary.
Her memory lives on through her work, and she is deeply missed.
In honorable remembrance of Klara Pap,
The Board of Directors of Pikler/Lóczy USA – Agnes, Bev, Janet, Enid, Denise, Intisar, Johanna, Susan, Nicole, Gabrielle and Elsa
Wishing you the very best this season
Thank you for being part of our Pikler family and for sharing our mission of caring for babies with respect. Together we can make our world a little bit kinder, one baby at a time.
Pikler/Lóczy USA is dedicated to supporting parents and professionals in the important mission of caring for young children with respect.
Emmi Pikler’s decades of research proved that a peaceful relationship between parent and child is formed through the daily tender moments of care.
From his first day of life, the child is always considered a partner during his caregiving routines. There is a dialogue that occurs and the baby begins to feel safe and secure.
May 2017 bring Joy and Wellbeing to the Children of the World.“One has only to ask and the child will cooperate.” Dr. Emmi Pikler
