FAMILY & CAREGIVER ONLINE EVENT with Dr. Adam Blanning

Children do not roll off the assembly line ready to go as a finished product. In fact, children are mightily engaged in growing their bodies and continuously refining their organ systems as they slowly awaken to the world around them. We will discuss the different ways that an inner stream of growth meets an outer stream of information, and why, for certain parts of development, sooner is not better. This helps show how Waldorf education builds a foundation for whole-person, lifelong health and balance.
