HOW DOES PLAY RELATE TO COGNITION?
Participants at the Pikler training in Orlando engaged in Ute Strub’s latest experiential: tediously making straight lines and circles with directed and precise instructions. At first, the tension and boredom are evident… Then, it all changes to joy after being given the opportunity of creating a free, individual and personal expression. (There is an evident joy in freedom of expression and movement!)
“You are important to me, and I am here for you.” Elsa Chahin. Participants of our Pikler Intensive in Orlando experienced trust as the blindfolded leaders lead their partners on the dance floor.
