Emmi Pikler

It is no secret I am a fan of Emmi Pikler. The picture below landed on my inbox today and it comes from “Red Pikler La Plata” (Pikler Network La Plata, Argentina). A little homage to one of the greatest.

The translation of the text is below the picture. Enjoy!

“The image of the world we present to a newborn is completely different when the hands that touch him are filled with patience, tranquillity, safety and purpose. How different the world can be presented to a newborn if the hands that touch him are impatient, careless, rushed, restless. In the beginning, the hands to a newborn are everything: the human nature, the world”.

When …

When we are unable to find tranquillity within ourselves,

it is useless to seek it elsewhere.

François de la Rochefoucauld

Cuando no podemos encontrar tranquilidad en nosotros mismos,

no tiene sentido buscarla en otro lado.

François de la Rochefoucauld
