Written on September 3, 2007 Summary: Great approach, encouraging, do read critically though. Very interesting book. Great to reinforce things we already know and suggest ways to enact our ideals as parents. I especially liked the specific suggestions for kinds of toys and for activities. Gentle, realistic, and encouraging suggestions regarding discipline. Good citations of studies to back up concepts. Those new to Steiner, Waldorf, and Anthroposophy should be aware it is very "Stainer oriented" and the realities within this "spiritual science" are considered a given, though not pushed aggresively. For example, the ideas about the incarnation process and life forces are used as part of explainations. Read carefully and critically and accept only what you like, study the rest objectively. Spiritual ideas aside, it's a good look at interacting with children in developmentally appropriate ways and nurturing their holistic (all around) growth.  Written on May 17, 2007 Summary: Must Read I think this book should be read by all parents. I was always put off by the title and thought it was about teaching your child early- like baby einstein. It is the exact opposite. The book covers child developement from birth through age seven with a Steiner perspective. It includes activities that are age appropriate and nuturing. It is so packed with information I know I will refer to it often. Each chapter also includes a recommended reading list. Written on June 14, 2006 Summary: Asian compassion and wisdom in child development for the western head I just purchased a copy of this book in English, because my wife has been translating the Thai version form me and we are both completely impressed by the wisdom contained in this book. My wife is Thai and her parents raised her with the same considerations and compassionate love that the book uses as the foundation for guiding parents how to raise their children. Currently, we are experimenting with the classic US style of education at the American School of Bangkok and will also try one of the Thai Waldorf school near our home and observe how the child responds the each on all levels of development. We, because of living in Bangkok, have the multiple education options incudintg British system, French system, Australian system, Multiple Intelligenc system, Montisori system, Christian schools etc..., and are very impressed with what we have seen in the Waldorf schools. Regardless of which education modality we choose the foundations in this book will guide our child development decisions. I am completely put off by reviewers splattering their judgements of cultish, religous etc around this book. I just don't get it. If someone writes about Montisorei they reference Maria Montisori. If someone writes about Multiple Intellegence education they reference Harvard's Garnier. The primary researcher is always the source of the knowledge. Let's stick to what we know and not conjecture and judge what we do not know. Steiner was definitely on the something, and in today's world we definitely need all the help we can get in raising a new breed of human. Written on June 24, 2005 Summary: Mostly a good book....a good intro for new parents to Steiner This is the first Steiner influenced book I have read and since I am a new parent and most of the info in here is aimed at small children, this was a good jumping off point for me. There were a few things in this book that bothered me, though, it may not be the author, it may be some of the ideas in this particular philosophy, I'm not sure yet. One was in her section on gifted children, she recommends holding back "precocious" children....that really bothered me. If a child wants to learn, by all means let them...that seems more like respecting the spirit of the child than trying to squelch their passions. The other thing was the constant reverance to which she spoke of Steiner. He is a smart guy and all, but, come on, he's not Jesus. That in particular leaves me with a cult like feeling about the whole movement. The best thing about the book, though, and what makes it a good starting point for newbies, is at the end of each chapter she has a list of resources, mostly more books to read on the subject in the chapter and most of the time, she is clear about which ones are Steiner influence and which are not. It, also, is really easy to read (unlike the actual writings of Steiner) and most of the information is really practical. If you're interested in the Steiner movement, particularly if your children are still small, this is a really good book for you. If you are just looking for a parenting book, this may or may not be a good book for you....read into the Waldorf/Steiner ideas first before you decide. Written on October 31, 2004 Summary: The awakening of common sense. As a first time parent I bombarded myself with books about child raising and child develpment but this is the one to which I return to over and over again. It matters not that this book is aligned with Steiner principles, the information contained within its pages is timeless, and stirs a forgotten knowledge that can be found within all of us if we only take the time to look. In a consumer driven material world where we are bombarded with ten million ways in which to bring up our children, it is both refreshing and mellowing to find a book that gives power back to parents. Everything we need to know about raising happy, well adjusted, self-loving children is within us already. This book just helps to bring it into our conscious minds. If every new parent were given a copy of this book and put this forgotten knowledge into practice, what a wonderful childhood our next generation could enjoy. |
