Dear Pam,

Your reaction is very kind and has certainly given me something to think about.

I participated in a workshop by Karen Adolphs about two years ago and was very much impressed. Have passed her name and website on to others and on this forum. I think her work is fascinating, she has publised so much and shows us how much children can do.

I see I have some catching up to do....
I am not that familiar with the other colleagues you mentioned.

I do feel that when I am reading all the information placed on your skillsforaction website, that we have a lot in common.
It has always fascinated me how well children are able to communicate their needs, solve problems if they get a chance and how difficult it is for us adults to see this. I loved the book called The aware baby by Aleta Solter. This book and her lectures made me change the way I looked and handled babies and small children.

It seems I will have to take some time off to start reading again.
Can you give me some more references and possibly websites please?

Thanking you in advance

Esther
