The Parent and Child Group Handbook
“This unique and much needed book gives a convincing argument for the value of these groups, for both parent and child. Both inspiring and immensely practical, it offers the group leader the insight and means to create a truly meaningful and appropriate experience within a parent and child group setting.”

The Physical Developmental Needs of Young Children
My chapter in this book is called Natural Physical Development in the First Year – learning from the Pikler approach. I describe my support groups for parents and babies which I have been running over the last 11 years and the obstactles to free movement progression.
This is a book about the very unique contribution to parent support provided by Steiner parent and child groups. My chapter is about Gentle Beginnings – my support groups for parents with babies up to 18 months based on Rudolf Steiner’s understanding of the young child and the Pikler approach
