One, Two, Three The Toddler Years

How do we want our children to feel about themselves?
How is their growth and well-being affected by what we, as educators, do?
What are their needs?
In 1, 2, and 3, the toddler years, various themes are explored through concrete examples from the daily routines of daycare centers, such as stubbornness, pushing boundaries, making choices, food, and emotions. All based on the belief that what young children learn about themselves and their world during their toddler years will impact the rest of their lives.
Pediatrician Emmi Pikler opens our eyes to the most important aspect in these circumstances: respect. Both in her work with parents and in a children's home for babies and toddlers, she has shaped her vision of respectful interaction with young children.
Although most of the examples in this book take place in childcare, this book also provides clear support for parents in guiding and enjoying their toddler.
