Following her presentation, Piklerian Early Childhood Specialist, Rachel Tapping, will take you through some simple, enjoyable experientials that will leave you feeling more connected to your inner child and more able to let go of the stress that sometimes goes alongside working with young children.
Through this exploration, we can regain that beautiful childlike wonder about the simple things in life. By reconnecting with our own feelings of curiosity and taking time to explore them, we gain a better understanding of both our own and the child’s perspective on the world.
Emmi Pikler’s approach to early childhood care is the inspiration for this therapeutic approach, putting the adult / practitioner at the centre – taking care of the caregiver.
