Practise makes perfect

Hi everyone - and thankyou so much Anita, this is so groovy. It has taken me a while to work out how to get onto this blog being the techno whizz that I am - and I am not sure that I am on track yet, but we will see. Wonderful to read your posts and see how this is working for you all, and neat to see that you recognise baby-steps mean you won't fall over. The NZCA Conference was very very good, they had arranged a programme that was SO strong with brilliant presentations for infants and toddlers. Dr Gabriella Puspoki, second in charge at the Pikler Institute, gave a keynote speech which was laden with new information about the details which make the difference, and her followup workshop likewise. Their fantastic preparation for the settling-in process is something we could learn from. I did get the CDs of the 2 sessions, and although I am a bit pushed for time (she says after spending the afternoon doing sudoku) I could get you a copy if you are interested. Might not be as quickly as you would like though. Send postal address. The Childspace presentation on their (now Budget slashed) COI around this way of being and Primary Care was nothing short of brilliant. They had videos which showed what exemplary care looks like. Look out for PD from Childspace with Natasha Kibble around this, or even contact her and see what you can work out together. Love to you all as we learn to walk this path of Respect.
