Emmi Pikler was a pediatrician who developed her professional activity throughout the 20th century in Budapest, where she ran the nursery and from where she spread, with the Loczy Institute , a method of attention to the really interesting little boy that we can see in the video that we share its fundamentals
The young child is considered to be a person worthy of respect, who needs to create emotional bonds with their caregivers and who reaches their optimal development when they are allowed an autonomous exercise of their motor skills, which is born naturally and is intrinsic to their nature.
The basis of Loczy Institute It is this: the child who, sustained and attended by adults with whom he feels emotionally linked, develops his activity of knowledge of the environment and his own limitations, challenges and objectives, is conceived as himself as a competent person and deserving of attention, reaching the desired self-confidence.
If we observe a baby or a small child in his free activity, we will see how, spontaneously, he will be able to develop his potential, concentrate, strive and achieve the goal he has decided to achieve. Enjoy and feel joy, experiment with your movements and resources in the middle. And that happens because he has his own internal development program that we, adults, rather than induce, must respect and accompany.
I encourage you to watch this video and investigate the methods of Loczy Institute, and, if possible, seek, if necessary, a mother by day, a family nest, a nursery or a nursery that works in this line, because the training of caregivers guides them to be very affectionate with Children already respect them in all facets of their development.
