The Waldorf early childhood classroom strives to be a place where children want to follow their teachers worthy example. This book is a wonderful collection of traditional and original verses, songs and games from the author's forty years of experience in early childhood education.

Young Children's Drawings as a Mirror of Development
AvChristhilde Blume
Häftad, Engelska, 2019
161 kr
Skickas
Young children usually love to draw. Their work multiplies on scraps of paper, on walls, and on refrigerator doors. In this book Christhilde Blume, an experienced paediatrician, explores what parents and educators can learn about children's development through the pictures they create.Rudolf Steiner described children's development in detail, and showed how development is universal, irrespective of location and culture. Inspired by the work of Michaela Strauss in the 1940s who discovered that certain drawn shapes were linked to specific stages of development, Dr Blume confirms this to be true from her study of hundreds of drawings and paintings collected through her medical clinic.Children's drawings change as their soul and spirit gradually incarnate in their physical body, and alongside the growth of consciousness. Adults can learn to 'read' from the pictures what is happening in a child's inner self, physically, psychologically and spiritually.Dr Blume used these insights in her medical work, helping children who were experiencing difficulties or challenges in their lives. This little book is a wonderful insight into this unique approach to understanding the development of individual children.

There are seven life processes identified in anthroposophical human physiology which affect physical organ function and life forces: breathing, producing warmth, nourishment, secretion, preservation, growth and production/reproduction. They form the foundation for healthy development, understanding one's own capacities, and age-appropriate learning.This book considers these seven processes in relation to the developing child. It examines how play and learning are connected to the life processes and how adults can support children's physical organ functions so that they can develop in a healthy way and learn with ease.The book is full of important educational considerations and will be of significant value to teachers, educators, parents and caregivers.

For fourteen remarkable years, the Sophia Project in California served over one hundred mothers and children, all of whom were at risk of or had experienced homelessness and abuse.Drawing on the principles of Camphill and a Waldorf approach to child development, staff worked intensively with families, introducing them to daily rhythms and routines, assisting with job applications, shopping and tax forms, and even tutoring to pass tests and exams. Over a period of five years, the families regained confidence and independence. None returned to homelessness or abuse.Same Light, Many Candles is a definitive account of the Sophia Project: its origins, the journey, the families and its eventual end. Both moving and inspiring, it powerfully demonstrates the effect on real lives of structured, caring intervention based on Waldorf principles.

'Please, can we play games now?' is a frequent plea in the early childhood classroom. Children explore and relate to their world through play, and something magical happens when a caring adult dons the cloak of playful lightheartedness. A regular offering of appropriate games in the early childhood curriculum can create a powerful atmosphere for healthy development. Between teacher and children a safe harbor springs up -- a place where trust, interest, joy, and an enthusiasm for learning are kindled. Rudolf Steiner expressed many times that children thrive in an atmosphere of joy, warmth, and love. He also stressed the importance of imitation in early childhood. The Waldorf early childhood classroom strives to be a place where children want to follow their teachers worthy example. This book is a wonderful collection of traditional and original verses, songs and games from the author's forty years of experience in early childhood education. Perfect for circle time or home play, these games will nourish children's body, soul and spirit.

Young Children's Drawings as a Mirror of Development

Young children usually love to draw. Their work multiplies on scraps of paper, on walls, and on refrigerator doors. In this book Christhilde Blume, an experienced paediatrician, explores what parents and educators can learn about children's development through the pictures they create.Rudolf Steiner described children's development in detail, and showed how development is universal, irrespective of location and culture. Inspired by the work of Michaela Strauss in the 1940s who discovered that certain drawn shapes were linked to specific stages of development, Dr Blume confirms this to be true from her study of hundreds of drawings and paintings collected through her medical clinic.Children's drawings change as their soul and spirit gradually incarnate in their physical body, and alongside the growth of consciousness. Adults can learn to 'read' from the pictures what is happening in a child's inner self, physically, psychologically and spiritually.Dr Blume used these insights in her medical work, helping children who were experiencing difficulties or challenges in their lives. This little book is a wonderful insight into this unique approach to understanding the development of individual children.

This book collects lectures given in 2015 at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. 550 people from 46 countries, including Waldorf educators, scholars, and professionals in a wide range of fields, came together to work on current educational questions with the goal of deepening our understanding of child and human development.Claus-Peter Röh of the Pedagogical Section at the Goetheanum summarised the mood at the end of the conference: 'We have tried, with great intensity and candour, to create a community of awareness around various areas of education. The desire to always keep the idea of a whole in mind while discerning the individual was clearly apparent . . . Now we stand before the challenge of further developing our collective work and newly gained insights into the future.'Contributors include Florian Osswald, Ursula Flatters, Susan Weber, Elizabeth Hall, Clara Aerts, Reinoud Engelsman and Claus-Peter Röh.These texts will serve as a basis for further study activity and can contribute to a greater collaborative activity in the Waldorf kindergarten and school movement.
