Full of Confidence

Full of Confidence
Working with toddlers and preschoolers inspired by the vision of Emmi Pikler
Summary
In "Full of Confidence," you'll discover the inspiring philosophy of Hungarian pediatrician and educator Emmi Pikler. The Pikler vision is based on a respectful, personalized approach to each child. It also respects young children's "own time," allowing them to play freely and explore independently in an inviting, prepared environment. The book's strength lies in the combination of practical theory with concrete examples, inspiring photos, and helpful tips. Based on five recognizable themes, you'll be introduced to the Pikler vision step by step. Each theme concludes with a series of exercises. "Full of Confidence" is aimed at childcare professionals working with young children (ages 1-4), but parents, childminders, and grandparents of toddlers and preschoolers can also find inspiration. Jantine Peters and Jeanine Mulder are both Pikler educators with years of practical experience in childcare. They also developed the training course "Full of Confidence" of the same name. In this book, the authors have developed the Pikler Vision in a surprising and understandable way for children aged 1-4, covering not only the why, but especially the how of the Pikler Vision. This book offers tools that will make your work as a childcare professional enjoyable and meaningful, and life for children clear and enjoyable.
