About us
Non government organization “Little steps”
Non government organization “Little steps” was created as a result of the friendship of two mothers, teachers and a friends. We are Nataša and Maja and we have been friends for more than ten years. We experienced together all the challenges of bringing up small children, teenagers, and girls. Through the search for solutions, we realised that there are no remedies to solve certain problems. We are aware that parenting today is quite different from the way we were taught in school and from the way our mothers and grandmothers prepared us for this role.
Over the years, we have realised that it is crucial to invest in the relationships in our families.
The founding of the association is the result of our belief in the joy of life with children. We want children to learn from adults by creating relationships with them. We want them to follow each other through small steps. Only by seeing how the younger, weaker ones take steps, can we follow their pace and show them through our example, and using our own experience how encourage one another. We follow with a small step, we communicate every stage avoid the risk of diverging and miss understanding each other with a larger step.
We want to develop awareness through learning and action that will prepare adults for the challenge of creating a relationship full of trust, to create cooperation and respect for children, who themselves choose to respect adults, first of all respecting their parents, without anyone imposing it on them. In the relationship with us as parents, we want children to become independent, motivated and mature beings who value themselves.
Our Mission

Through our actions, we want to support parents and teachers developing a relationship with children based on trust, cooperation and mutual respect.
