Dr Emmi Pikler (1902 - 1984) was a Hungarian paediatrician who pioneered and applied new approaches to early childhood education - in particular, the concept of free movement development is associated with her name.
The Emmi Pikler method assumes that every child can and should learn their specific movement type independently, on their own. Emmi Pikler saw that children do not need encouragement or special support for this, but that attentive adult guidance and a safe and child-friendly environment are prerequisites for the child's healthy development.
Emmi Pikler pedagogy is based on the premise that if the child can discover himself and his environment in his own way, he will develop in a healthy way. This early experience of independent learning also strengthens the child for all future tasks. The Emmi Pikler materials support this process. Emmi Pikler was asked to lead the children's home Loczy in Budapest. Here she decided to apply her method by conducting scientific research on the interaction between child and caregiver in children's home Loczy.
Emmi Pikler pedagogy is based on the following concept: "It is essential for the child to discover as many things as possible on their own". If we help them solve all tasks, we deprive them of precisely what is most important for their intellectual development. A child who achieves something through independent experimentation acquires a very different kind of knowledge from a child who is handed the solution ready-made."
