Perspectives in Initial Education

What kind of exchanges should take place during pregnancy? What kind of sensory polyphony during baby's first few months of life? Acting and interacting with children from birth requires us to be both welcoming and supportive. How can we offer children a flexible, protective framework in which to develop their natural curiosity, and accompany them on their path of discovery in a caring, structuring way? This is a great opportunity to take into account the zones of proximal development, so as to act and interact in a constructivist way in all areas of human development. Nurturing children's affective, relational and cognitive capacities, supporting their creativity and skills, and fostering their curiosity and motivation to act and interact with their environment: children can thus promote their capacity to be in their own right. Always a partner, never a victim or a victimizer!
