There were some really good quotes that stuck with me and that my team could use
reminding us that we can and should trust children and allow children to develop and explore in their own time and space with out being rushed or put in the wrong position that their body is telling them. We should be listening and watching to see how best to support that child.

This webinar helped me to understand what is Pikler approach. It helps to know the key principles of the approach. For example, respectful caregiving, free movement, and observation play an important part. We should regularly observe the children, analyze what is he doing and why, and use these observations to guide our interactions with the children.
