FAMILIES AND PARENTING

Raising Sound Sleepers Helping Children Use Their Senses to Rest and Self-Soothe

By Adam Blanning

What can parents do to avoid bed�me meltdowns? Why do established setling rou�nes stop working? How can children be encouraged to fall asleep more consistently? What simple, natural steps can parents take to help children feel calm? Sleep and rest aren’t always the natural processes we expect them to be. Dr Adam Blanning, child-development consultant and holis�c physician, suggests that they are learned skills which grow with children alongside physical developmental stages. In this insigh�ul book he offers prac�cal ways in which parents and carers can support children to use their senses - from taste, smell and touch, through to balance and movement, to self-soothe, sleep and ul�mately build resilience for life. Based on extensive research and using clear examples, Dr Blanning explores a range of methods for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and tackles key parental concerns.

EDUCATION

The First Class of the Michael School Recapitula�on Lessons and Mantras (Cw 270)

By Rudolf Steiner, T H Meyer

This volume supplements Rudolf Steiner's First Class Lessons and Mantras: The Michael School Medita�ve Path in Nineteen Steps (2017). It contains the so-called recapitula�on lessons given in various places, including Dornach, from April 3 to September 20, 1924. While the book does not introduce any new mantras, it offers new forms of presen�ng and explaining many of them. This supplemental volume presents a real discovery: two recapitula�on lessons given in Breslau, Germany (now Wroclaw, Poland), on June 12 and 13, 1924. The lessons were discovered only recently in the archive of Eugen and Lili Kolisko. The lessons (first published in German by Perseus Basel in 2016) were writen in shorthand and deciphered by Elea Gradenwitz, published here in English for the first �me, with the kind permission of Andrew CluniesRoss, grandson of the Koliskos.

Introduc�on to Steiner Educa�on: The Waldorf School

By Francis Edmunds

Rudolf Steiner's educa�onal system is long established and respected on the European con�nent and is gradually spreading around the world. Its radical principles, based on a view of the human being as composed of body, soul, and spirit, allows for a truly holis�c and balanced educa�on that nourishes the whole child. The author explains, in a clear and lively style, many aspects of Steiner's educa�onal theories, especially the three stages of child development and how the Waldorf curriculum provides a healthy understanding, nurturing, and support for these phases. Edmunds discusses the role of the class teacher, the ''main lesson,'' the four temperaments, a�tudes toward discipline, compe��on, and examina�ons. His answers are based on the author's many years of rich and varied experience as an educator of both children and adults.

A Second Classroom

Parent Teacher Rela�onships in a Waldorf School

By Torin M. Finser

What does a healthy, successful school look like? Is it all about measurable outcomes, test scores, and pass/fail grades set by the government? Can learning be quan�fied in short-term measurements or does real learning take years to manifest in a career or biography? All seem to agree that a healthy school is also a community and that community depends on the quality of rela�onships - chiefly the rela�onships among students, teachers, and parents. This book features a comprehensive examina�on of the parent - teacher rela�onship in all its dimensions, from parent evenings and conferences to communica�on, conflict, and the life-cycle of parent involvement in their school.

The Founda�ons and Principles of Biodynamic Prepara�ons

By Dr Manfred Klett

At the heart of the biodynamic method are the eight prepara�ons used to enhance the health and vitality of the soil: horn manure, horn silica, yarrow, chamomile, netle, oak bark, dandelion and valerian. In this deeply insigh�ul book, renowned biodynamic expert Manfred Klet explores the principles that underlie the prepara�ons. He looks in detail at each prepara�on, describing their different proper�es, how their substances are enhanced and transformed through the stages of prepara�on, and the effect each prepara�on has on the soil and plants. Throughout, Klet advocates a holis�c approach, which sees farms and gardens as integrated living organisms with the prepara�ons playing a key role in improving the quality of the soil and producing healthy plants.

The Story of Geometry

By Julia E. Diggins, Corydon Bell

From the early peoples who marvelled at the geometry of nature - the beehive and bird's nest - to ancient civilisa�ons who ques�oned beau�ful geometric forms and asked 'why?', the story of geometry spans thousands of years. Using only three simple tools - the string, the straight-edge and the shadow - human beings revealed the basic principles and construc�ons of elementary geometry. Weaving history and legend, this fascina�ng book reconstructs the discoveries of mathema�cs’ most famous figures. Through illustra�ons and diagrams, readers are able to follow the reasoning that lead to an ingenious proof of the Pythagorean theorem, an apprecia�on of the significance of the Golden Mean in art and architecture, or the construc�on of the five regular solids.

Geology and Astronomy

By Charles Kovacs

The first part of this book describes the different kinds of rocks, soil and mountains found on our planet, and explores how they came into being. This sec�on deals with the depths of the earth, and the long ages of �me. In contrast, the second part examines the heights of our universe, in the movement of the sun, moon and stars. These bodies give us our sense of day, month and year. Throughout, Kovacs links the phenomena he's describing with human experience, how they affect people in different parts of the world. This is a resource for SteinerWaldorf teachers for Classes 6 and 7 (age 11-13).

The Founda�ons of Human Experience

By Rudolf Steiner, Robert Lathe

This course on educa�on contains some of the most remarkable and significant lectures ever given by Rudolf Steiner. Because these lectures were given to teachers, however, they have suffered the misconcep�on that they are useful only to teachers. Any teacher who wants to teach in a way that encompasses the whole child certainly needs a func�onal understanding of what Steiner presents here, but these lectures will also greatly benefit parents, psychologists, counsellors, or anyone else involved with child development. In these lectures, Steiner laid out the most important text for studying and understanding the human developmental and psychological basis for Waldorf educa�on.

Educa�on of the Child And Early Lectures on Educa�on

By Rudolf Steiner

As early as 1884, while tutoring a boy with special needs, Steiner began a lifelong interest in applying spiritual knowledge to the prac�cal aspects of life. Steiner originally published the essay at the core of this book in 1907. It represents his earliest ideas on educa�on, in which he lays out the soul spiritual processes of human development, describing the need to understand how the being of a child develops through successive "births," beginning with the physical body's entry into earthly life, and culmina�ng in the emergence of the I-being with adulthood.

The Kingdom of Childhood

Seven Lectures and Answers to Ques�ons Given in Torquay, August 12-20

By Rudolf Steiner, Christopher Bamford

These seven in�mate, aphoris�c talks were presented to a small group on Steiner's final visit to England. Because they were given to "pioneers" dedicated to opening a new Waldorf school, these talks are o�en considered one of the best introduc�ons to Waldorf educa�on. Steiner shows the necessity for teachers to work on themselves first, in order to transform their own inherent gi�s. He explains the need to use humour to keep their teaching lively and imagina�ve. Above all, he stresses the tremendous importance of doing everything in the knowledge that children are ci�zens of both the spiritual and the earthly worlds. And, throughout these lectures, he con�nually returns to the prac�cal value of Waldorf educa�on.
