Emmi Pikler

I admire Emmi Pikler, she was born in 1902 and grew up in Vienna and Budapest. After the First World War she studied medicine in Vienna where she encountered and worked with two innovative paediatricians of the day - Clemens von Pirquet and Hans Salzer. She later moved with her husband to Budapest where, in 1935, she qualified as a paediatrician. In Budapest, Dr. Pikler set up a private paediatric practice working closely with parents of babies and young children. Through weekly visits, she supported parents to build trusting relationships with their children, notice their competence and allow time for natural development.
In 1940 her first book was published, What Can the Baby Already Do? Soon after, in 1946, she set up a residential home for infants, to provide care for the many abandoned or orphaned children in Budapest after the war.  
she also wrote further books, most notably The Book of Mothers (not translated), which ran to sixteen editions and became the standard text for mothers in Hungary at the time. Pikler's unique work expanded professionals' knowledge and understanding of the motor development of infants and young children and continues to stand alone as a beacon, even today.

I like her because Piklerian approach be based on observation may be considered a type of care, and more precisely an overarching care strategy carried out in a spirit of openness with respect to the individual infant or toddler. It enables the observer to be attentive to the child and their current stage of development, taking into account what they are expressing and 'adjusting' accordingly to meet their individual needs at this point of time. This observation radically changes the role and attitude of the professional towards the child.

Future job

I am studying nursery teacher at the University of Chile at the faculty of social sciences and I am not thinking of taking another one, because I like my career and when I start working will support and guide the children, they need to develop their thinking skills, socialize and autonomy. In general, this is the role of nursery teacher. I would like to have a job in a big country with vegetables, animals and a variety of plants where the children feel close the nature. My ideal place for work is Castro-chiloé. The children will enjoy the nature in this country, they will explore differents things and places. I would like to travel a lot in my job, for example, to hawaii, Sídney and China for see up close your culture, traditions and how is the education, kindergartens no day-nursary. I wouldn’t like work in an office because I wouldn’t can do everything I want with the children. I think that the future job of each person is very important because is forever and if you want be h

Changes to my study program

What I would modify in my career is would be that in some essential subjects of the childhood education the contents are deepened more.For example: social constructions of childhood, because they only tell us a little about the theorists or about different subjects, they never explained each content in detail, I would also like the teachers teach how apply each thing in the practice. "Health and child care" I consider it a very important subject and as I pointed out previously, they explained the contents to us, but they did not carry out practice activities and in my opinion, this should be the main thing of the subject, because when we are in a kindergarten we probably don't know what to do or how to help the child if he has an accident. For this reason I also believe that the subject of "Child Health and Care" should be added at least once a year. In the curricula I would like to add some subjects where they teach us the mute deaf "language", the

MOVIES

Nothing compares to watching a good film. I like drama and romantic movies.  The last film that I saw was Titanic, is my favourite movie.  Titanic is about a British  passenger liner  (Titanic) that  sank in the North Atlantic Ocean  in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912, after it collided with an  iceberg  during its  maiden voyage  from  Southampton  to  New York City . There were an  estimated 2,224 passengers and crew  aboard the ship, and more than 1,500 died, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. The  RMS  Titanic was the  largest ship afloat  at the time it entered service and was the second of three  Olympic -class ocean liners  operated by the  White Star Line . The Titanic was built by the  Harland and Wolff  shipyard in  Belfast .   Thomas Andrews , her architect, died in the disaster. the film I would like to see again  is "Split", because it´s funny and very interesting.
