CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND STEINER EDUCATION

Educating Traumatized Children

Stories to Light the Night

Waldorf Education in Crisis Intervention By Bernd Ruf, Preface by Peter Selg, Translated by Margot Saar

A Grief and Loss Collection for Children, Families and Communities By Susan Perrow

Since 2006, international relief organisation Friends of Waldorf Education (FWE) has partnered with Steiner-Waldorf doctors, psychologists and therapists to carry out emergency education crisis interventions around the world. They've worked with traumatised children and young people in war zones and disaster areas in many countries, including Lebanon, China, the Gaza Strip, Indonesia, Haiti, Kyrgyzstan and most recently Japan, following the tsunami and nuclear disaster there. In this important book, FWE head Bernd Ruf explains what the organisation does, and how the principles of Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy are put into practice in such challenging situations. He focuses especially on their work in Japan, exploring processes and experiences, including the anthroposophical understanding of trauma itself. Educating Traumatized Children offers much-needed insight into their little-known area of education and healing for traumatised children. This book will be valuable not only for those working in disaster and conflict areas, but for any teacher or parent who is caring for a traumatised child.

This book offers story medicine for children, families and communities at times of grieving, loss and separation. Stories and words have healing potential. They can strengthen us, help to reframe things, and help make meaning. Included are stories for: the loss of a loved one such as a death in the family of a baby, child, sibling, parent, grandparent, an extended family member; the loss of family connection e.g. separation, divorce, adoption, foster children; the loss of a pet; separation from home, country or place; and the loss of health and well-being. The last section includes tales for the loss of nature and ecocide: eco-grief/eco-anxiety; and stories on cycles of life and change. As well as many original stories from Susan Perrow, there are stories from different countries and cultures worldwide by writers from a diversity of professions and backgrounds. Each story includes a description of who the story was written for, the age group and the situation. Using the power of metaphor and imaginative story journeys, combined with the sensitive art of ‘listening’, the stories in the collection offer a light in the night.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND STEINER EDUCATION

An A-Z Collection of Behaviour Tales

Understanding Waldorf Education

From Angry Ant to Zestless Zebra By Susan Perrow

Teaching from the Inside Out By Jack Petrash

This illustrated collection of behaviour tales offers story medicine as a creative strategy for parenting, teaching and counselling. Following the alphabet from A to Z, each behaviour is identified in the story title: angry, anxious, bullying, demanding, fussy, greedy, jealous ... loud, obnoxious, quibbling, uncooperative, and more. Covering a range of universal challenges, the stories, some humorous, some more serious, are suitable for three to nine years - and the child in every adult. All 42 stories begin with an undesirable or out-of-balance situation and, through the use of metaphor and an imaginative story journey, lead to a more desirable resolution. In this way, story medicine also has the potential for nurturing positive values. Stories may not be magic pills that have powers to fix or heal all difficulties, but they can be a wonderful and more pleasant alternative to nagging and lecturing. And sometimes, magic does happen and a story does make a difference!

A jargon-free view of Waldorf education and its philosophy of a three-dimensional education. Since their inception over 80 years ago, Steiner-Waldorf Schools have offered a much-needed model for educational reform. The author provides a compelling, clearly written picture of the key components of a Waldorf education, focusing especially on child learning experiences that develop thought, feeling, and intentional, purposeful activity. Ideal for parents and teachers, this book gives a common sense understanding of an education which answers modern needs in almost 900 schools across the world.

EARLY YEARS Nurturing Potential in the Kindergarten Years A Guide for Teachers, Carers and Parents By Cornelis Boogerd, Translated by Matthew Dexter At the heart of early years' Steiner-Waldorf education is the concept of 'life forces', or an 'etheric body'.

This book, which is essential reading for any teacher or parent, offers accessible ways to understand and visualise the difficult concept of children's life forces. It also provides practical examples of how to nurture them at different educational stages, to stimulate healthy and active development. Although it addresses challenging ideas, this book will be both inspiring and empowering for anyone involved with young children.

By Sven Nordqvist, Illustrated by Sven Nordqvist

By Brunhild Muller, Translated by Donald Maclean

A vital factor in a child's development is the stimulation of active imagination and creativity. Here are ideas for encouraging selfexpression through water-colour painting. Essentially practical, this book is based on Goethe's colour theory and shows that painting with children is more than just a form of selfexpression. Müller encourages and attempts to understand children's fantasies through their artwork. This guide for parents and teachers to painting with watercolours covers preparation, colour-stories and poems, painting moods of nature and the seasons of the year.

This is the first story of the adventures of farmer Pettson and his cat Findus. Pettson wants to bake a pancake birthday cake for the cat who has three birthdays a year. But how can they get the eggs when the bull is in the way? Findus and Pettson live in a red farmhouse, with a toolshed, henhouse, garden and outside toilet. Every picture tells a story, with a fascinating, magical world of tiny creatures. Here are little bathtubs full of mice, a bunch of telephone poles jammed into a jar, small pink striped creatures peeking over the edge of a table.

Old man Petterson was looking for a bag of fishing floats in the attic. Findus jumped on a large green canvas sausage, which bounced him downstairs. Why do you have such dangerous sausages lying about in the attic? scolded Findus. That's a tent, Petterson said. He started to dream how much fun it would be to camp by the lake and grill fish over the fire as the sun set... That's not exactly how things turn out.

The Wise Enchanter A Journey Through the Alphabet By Shelley Davidow, Illustrated by Krystyna Kurzyca

STEINER BOOKS INC

Words are disappearing from the world. Something is lurking in the deepest waters, devouring all the words that are no longer used. No one has noticed, but the world is slowly growing darker.For many years no children have come to the Enchanted Islands in search of Wisdom, and the Wise Enchanter is growing old. Four children from the corners of the earth have been sent on a quest to rediscover each letter, unlock the treasure of language, and thereby grow wise.Time is running out; if the children do not reach the castle of the Wise Enchanter in time, Wisdom and light may vanish from the world altogether.

The Epic Story of his Quest for the Grail

Release Date: 07/2018

Publisher: STEINER WALDORF SCHOOL FELLOW

Release Date: 01/2023

By Robin Cook

By Nora Loebe, Matthias Rang, Troy Vine, Foreword by Arthur Zajonc

Colour is everywhere. From blue skies to red sunsets. But what is the nature of colour? Scientific books present a variety of mechanical explanations but this approach leaves colour as a whole unexplained. The German poet and scientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe investigated a wide range of colour phenomena and discovered the underlying principles that govern colour itself. Through descriptions of simple observations and ingenious experiments, the reader will discover a series of colour phenomena that includes afterimages, coloured shadows, colour mixing, and prismatic and polarisation colours.

Enter the extraordinary world of Arthurian legend in an adventure overflowing with knightly chivalry, the danger of jousting and the warmth of true love. But the Legend of Parzival is more than the tale of one knight's epic journey to find the elusive Holy Grail; along the way Parzival faces a challenging journey of self-discovery. This accessible prose retelling of the medieval German epic brings the wonderful story of the Arthurian knight (known variously as Parzival, Parsifal and Percival) to life for today's readers.

The Age of the Archangel Michael

The Incarnation of Christ

Reflections on the True Spirit of Our Time

A Spiritual Embryology

Publisher: FLORIS BOOKS

Release Date: 04/2026

Publisher: FLORIS BOOKS

Release Date: 01/2026

By Pearl Goodwin

By Emil Bock, Translated by Cynthia Hindes

Emil Bock, one of the founders of The Christian Community, was well known for his lectures on the age of the archangel Michael. This engaging book brings together seventeen of Bock's lectures, most of which are presented for the first time in English. In them he discusses the challenges facing humanity in the age of Michael: the need to develop greater selflessness, to cultivate a broader and more inclusive view of humanity, and the importance of spiritualising our thinking in order to deepen our relationship to Christ.

In a series of lectures that he gave on the incarnation of Christ, Rudolf Steiner compared the period of Christ's life between his baptism and crucifixion to that of prenatal human development. Retired Christian Community priest Pearl Goodwin is uniquely qualified as a student of both embryology and the work of Rudolf Steiner to expand on this intriguing insight. In this fascinating book, Goodwin outlines the stages of a spiritual embryology and goes beyond the crucifixion to argue that the creation of a physical human body is mirrored in the creation of Christ's resurrection body.

Rory the Little Red Deer

Home of the Wild

By Lynne Rickards, Illustrated by Jonna Dempsey Rory, a young red deer calf, loves playing with his best pal Ruby, having friendly competitions to discover who is the best: Rory can jump the highest, but Ruby can run the fastest. But when a game of treasure hunt goes wrong, can the little deer use their strengths, and those of their friends, to save the day? Written in Lynne Rickards' signature rhyme, this is a playful tale of friendship, teamwork and appreciating others' strengths. Jonna Dempsey's characterful illustrations of Scottish animals and landscapes are full of charming details to spot. From the author of best-selling Skye the Puffling and Rowan the Red Squirrel, Rory the Little Red Deer is a fun and lively celebration of one of Scotland's most famous animals.

By Louise Greig, Illustrated by Julia Moscardo "A house is not a home for wild things; wild things need to run, and soar, and swim." In the quiet dawn of the spring forest a boy finds an orphan fawn, hungry and alone. He carefully carries her home, caring for her while she grows strong. The boy and the fawn become inseparable. But the young deer is a wild thing and soon she is ready to discover a home of her own. When a big storm threatens, the boy worries for the young deer. Can the friends find each other again? Are some bonds stronger than goodbye? Lyrical and atmospheric, this beautiful picture book by award-winning author Louise Greig and illustrator Julia Moscardo is an uplifting story of belonging, the enduring connection between humans and nature, and a tender lesson in learning when to let go.
