    Good Rhythms in everyday life strengthens the life-forces vitality part, which is very helpful for the whole organism and soul/spirit, and lessens the risks of falling prey to addictions, which are stress-and trauma-related.(Developmental trauma) Pediatricians will hardly know nutrition therapy, can run allergy tests.

    This reminds me of my home country, I grew up without the fancy stuff and a lot of nature, fruit trees in our housing, playing with dirt ant sticks, building houses, we used our imagination I work at a daycare and it is so different, there’s a ton of regulations and stuff

  • @karateninjaheist8032

    To never use no, I feel, that is a disservice to the child. And does not teach good boundaries.

  • @dcoft4899
    @dcoft4899 Před rokem

    🤔 I'd like to see all this in action for the full day. Lol. But I know the rhythm and resonance do work most of the time. Diet & personality do come into play and establish boundaries for each unique child. Thank you for this help!

    I grew up going to a Waldorf school from kindergarten to eight grade, and it is such a home. Going to school everyday was so calming, the way everyone approaches each other, the music, the atmosphere, the art, it truly is amazing Waldorf. Growing up in a place surrounded by nature and community and being raised to appreciate others at such a high level in a sense of unity is a great way to grow up.

    Very interesting and beautiful to see how other Waldorf/Steinerschools are in other countries. .My daughter is almost 3 years old and started a few months ago in kindergarten wich is here in Belgium integrated in the primary school. But at her current school she dont have a good connection with her 3 teachers and the classes are so big. She is developing not good and she even said many times that she dont want to go to school. So I started my journey to look for another school and on my path came the Steinerschool (in other countries named Waldorfschool) and at 27 february 2023 she will start in her new school. I am really excited and happy and I hope my daughter will be happy too. Btw you have really a wonderful school in a beautiful Environment♥️ love and respect from a Dutch 🇳🇱mother currently living in Belgium 🇧🇪

      Reggio Emilia is the best learning approach for preschool and kindergarten since the kids have the most freedom and can play and make art.

    My son is very drawn to you. He usually ignores the videos I watch on my computer but he came over and sat in my lap. He liked your pentatonic scale. I sing almost all instructions to him, but he really liked your song. I'll try it next time its time to do something <3 Thank you.

    @thebyrdsnest1465 Před 2 lety

    Thanks for this! Any advice for me? My son just turned two and is asserting his independence by not listening. The hard part is is that he is in a phase where he doesn't like when my husband or I sing. So the singing will make him more upset at the moment. Also, he doesn't have many words yet so it is hard for him to tell us how he is feeling. Thank you!
