You Are Your Child's First Teacher, Third Edition

Więcej o książce

You Are Your Child’s First Teacher was the first book in America to share Rudolf Steiner's insights on the developmental needs of young children. This revised edition provides fresh perspectives for parents and educators to enhance the lives of children from birth to age six, emphasizing that crucial learning occurs before formal schooling. Renowned Waldorf educator Rahima Baldwin Dancy outlines the various stages of learning during these early years, equipping you with the knowledge to support your child’s natural development effectively. In a society that often pushes for early stimulation through flashcards and electronic devices, Dancy reminds us that children learn differently than adults, and well-intentioned efforts can sometimes hinder their growth. This trusted classic, now updated, includes new resources on discipline, early childhood programs, toilet training, and using everyday life as a learning experience. Covering topics from cognitive development to suitable toys and fostering artistic talents, Dancy advocates for a thoughtful approach to parenting, allowing children to thrive while fulfilling our vital roles as their first teachers.
