Price: $54.99

Publisher: United Kingdom, Rudolf Steiner Press: 2005

Seller ID: 7841

ISBN: 1855841266

The primary contention of this book is that, as a spiritual being, each of us lives beyond death, and eventually returns to earth in a new human body. With this knowledge in mind, the authors give much sound practical advice as to how parents, and others who spend time with children, can welcome a soul to the world and help it grow into a healthy and responsible human being.

"This handbook was developed to meet the needs of young parents and teachers interested in Waldorf child psychology and curriculum. I have applied these ideas and methods in many different school settings, ranging from inner-city classes of below-grade-level readers to independent prep schools and even one Summerhill-type school. The ideas work. For best results, the children need the total Waldorf experience, the whole atmosphere of freedom and creativity built up by a dedicated collegium of teachers who respect and love the children.

Erhard Dahl, an experienced language teacher, here offers a wealth of insight into how Steiner-Waldorf schools approach foreign language teaching, including English as a Foreign Language in non-English speaking coun...
