Anna Tardos' 90th birthday tribute

Happy 90th birthday to our beloved mentor, Anna Tardos! Today, we share a heartfelt tribute in honor of this special occasion. Many of us have been fortunate to learn from Anna and share in the immense amount of knowledge she has to offer. Even today, she works tirelessly to carry on the work and legacy of Dr. Emmi Pikler. Anna not only continues such legacy of respectful care founded by her mother, she herself has her own lasting legacy. She has dedicated her whole life, both professionally and personally, to the idea that every child deserves to have a happy childhood and be treated with respect. We know that she’s touched so many of you in a profound and deep way, and because of this, her work has a ripple effect. Each of you goes on to pass along the message of respectful caregiving, and through you, Anna has made an impact on thousands upon thousands of people, adults and children alike. Please join us in celebrating her 90th birthday!
