Hi Everyone,
I just want to remind you all - or tell you all - about my free audio download on Therapeutic Waldorf. On my on-line discussion forum, in the course of consultations, in workshops - everywhere! - questions constantly come up about how to help children with various "issues", ranging from sensory integration issues to ADHD to children who are....who are somehow just that little bit more sensitive or high strung than others. Does one immediately need a therapist of some sort? Are medications the best thing? What is normal? How do I live with this child?
I made this recording some time ago, in the hopes that lots of people would listen to it and realize that the essence of Waldorf is about health. By simply bringing elements of Waldorf education and parenting into one's family life, one can take enormous steps in helping center, calm and nurture any child - and perhaps especially those with one or more of the various challenges that plague so many modern children.
Although simple changes in parenting, homelife and education can indeed make many of these challenges "disappear" it is also obviously so that many children need much more. I am certainly not saying that the simple things I speak about on this recording are the sum of what one needs to do for all children - not at all. There are certainly many people who have simple "Waldorf lifestyles" whose children still have all sorts of issues. But....I have seen too many cases of problems "disappearing" when parents make certain changes to not also say that the healing benefits of a family life that is ordered on "Waldorf" lines cannot do great things.
So...have a listen and see what you think! Here is the link to the recording .
All feedback is most welcome!
