I just started reading this book .....
The years preceding his entry into school are crucial for the child: his eyes slowly extends beyond the walls of the house, his experiences are increasing dramatically, its powers grow visibly. It 's time in which all its meaning, particularly receptive, are stimulated: sight, hearing, touch, taste. At stake is the possibility that his innate talent, his still untapped potential can be fully and freely. Then the job of parents is encouraging as far as possible the daily occasions of "experience" with free games, home activities tailored, encounters with the natural world, music, songs, dances, stories, drawings ...
Right on deep knowledge of the nature of the child is based Steiner pedagogy, of which this book offers guiding principles, suggestions and concrete examples to follow in everyday life.
An education attentive to all dimensions the child's physical, mental and spiritual, is the secure foundation on which to build later school years, a solid intellectual education.
seems ironic that we are adults to raise children, because for sure we are that we can learn much from them!
