About this book
This book presents a clear, deep, and accessible overview of the philosophical, developmental, and educational foundations of Rudolf Steiner/Waldorf education—as a dynamic, adaptable, creative process for which a profound sense of the uniqueness of each child is foundational. It demystifies Steiner as a philosopher of "freehood" and discusses the threefold human being in psychology. Child development topics covered include the 12 senses and sensory motor development, language, and inner life. Education principles covered include imitation, purposeful activity, and free play; nature; music and the arts; rhythm, structure, trust, and security; observing and understanding children; self-development and reflection; and comparison with other preschool approaches.
