The second part looks at the healthy development of the child and how to create the best conditions for it. The authors go on to examine issues of upbringing and education, and their consequences for later life. Throughout, the book is extremely practical, with example situations of conflict and crisis presented, along with possible solutions. This new edition also includes medical and health practices in North America, Southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
FIVE LECTURES Dr. Michaela Glöckler begins by focusing on the “pedagogical law” as suggested by Rudolf Steiner in his lecture course Education for Special Needs . She illumines the comprehensiveness of that law―the insight it offers into the functions of our fourfold human nature and the karmic effects of our fourfold activity from one life to another. She then takes us on a path that starts with the physical body, pointing to some of the wonders of embryological development, and then brings to our consciousness further growth rhythms of the brain and other organs. She demonstrates the difference between human and animal and shows how, in animals, wisdom and intelligence have formed the physical body and express themselves through instinct. Dr. Michaela Glöckler opens new doors of understanding for teachers that lead to a deeper understanding of the significance of releasing intelligence from the body for human development.
This book offers new insights into the care and upbringing of children in their first three years, focusing on the process of incarnation during this critical period. It addresses key questions about how to support a child's natural development in areas such as walking, speaking, and thinking. The contributions draw from anthroposophic perspectives and Emmi Pikler's research. Essential inquiries include: How can we provide children with the freedom to develop their innate abilities? How can we nurture their autonomous will to learn, fostering personality growth rooted in trust and security? What role does attentive, trusting interaction in care situations play in developing relationship skills? Additionally, how should the environment be structured to facilitate both the child's self-exploration and the self-development of parents and educators? The responses to these questions reflect current knowledge and practical experience, emphasizing the importance of an interdisciplinary approach that combines medical, psychological, and pedagogical research. This collaboration aims to create a supportive atmosphere for children in a world that can often be unwelcoming, aligning with the goals of the Association of Waldorf Kindergartens and the Medical Section at the Goetheanum.
