Common-sense Waldorf parenting guide,
By Book Queen "Book Queen" (Olympic Peninsula, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Parenting a Path Through Childhood (Paperback)
I found this book to be very down-to-earth, practical and calming. The author is familiar with Rudolf Steiner's teachings and the Waldorf education ideas. You can trust your instincts and travel a path of parenting between over-permissiveness and strictness. Chapters include: Parenting today, a child is born, creating his world, the apprentice, learning about the world, the golden mean, personal space, the artificial world, truth and reality, the handicapped child, independence vs. freedom, and humanness. Highly recommended.
