Teaching as a Lively Art

The author, an experienced Waldorf teacher and eurythmist, radiates her enthusiasm and sense for beauty as she takes us through the various stages of development of the child. She shows us that "ripeness is all," that nothing can be taught to the child until it is ready to receive it or knowledge will sprout prematurely and wither early.

This book helps us approach children with sensitivity and insight.
