Stimulation of motor activities in the second year
"The moment when a child gets to his feet and starts to walk on his own is one of the strongest experiences. He never seems to get tired. He gets up, sits down, walks sideways holding on to the furniture, lets himself stand, takes steps, goes down to the four-legged position again. He is constantly experimenting and doing it all the time with a smile and a new motivation to discover different possibilities of movement. "
