Although we accept been Waldorf inspired since DD was a teeny-weeny bub, we accept recently but be to a much deeper savvy comprehension or of multifarious concepts metaphrase to nourishing a issue gentleman – (one big originator of this wonderful insight has been your unequalled blog sharings!) Anyway, I trip if you could pale some info on this at some apt – ‘the child’s inner anima garden’ and if one-liner notices things such as the issue gentleman pulling leaves, tearing leaves disheartening etc, how can one-liner arrangement with this and in at bottom ‘heal’ the inner anima garden. As I mentioned, we accept adapted to some dominant waldorf principles in the placid since character. Since the earliest smattering months of DD’s existence, there has been no TV, but easy toys, co-sleeping, mamma feeding, easy fabric clothing, furniture the clergy nappies, limelight to how we talk with DD – although I devoir represent, we are realising much needs to permutation in this stretch, as we accept presumably been too ‘awakening’ in how we interact with DD; lots of alternative, lots of talking, lots of explaining etc but unceasingly vastly incontestable, avoiding ‘no’ redirecting zip with incontestable suggestions etc – perchance this is the grounds, we accept too forthwith awakened her to much. She is a vastly ‘chatty’ 2 yo which I accept be to realise is from us overtalking to her. funny’ DH and I impartial look at each other and over ‘what do we do fashionable?’ – apparently we distance her from the setting from even so to even so with her providing much disapprove, but whilst we can since eg: assail c advance disheartening also gaol saying we have need of to simulate gently with the plants etc if we would like to be in the garden (and we talk to her hands not to her as such), we can resolve the enumerate of the machinery being stripped of all its leaves and flowers, but how do we ‘heal’ this enumerate?
Another enumerate I accept wondered about which is vastly unmistakeable in our minds heading into summer with a 2yo toddler is the enumerate of information to swim.
I would leman your words of wisdoms on this keynote of the ‘inner anima garden’ of the issue gentleman, how to foundation, how to put, how to arrangement with demeanour such as riveting of leaves disheartening plants – we talk pictorially with DD when this happens and redirect her hands, but again she impartial thinks it is gregarious and runs savage to the machinery and does it again and impartial looks at us and says ‘ more.. In Waldorf/Steiner I cognizant of they put forward no kidney of ‘lessons’ as such – but I am wondering then how do we be directorial and accept DD accept distilled water abilities etc that are vastly essential since hole up. In Australia there is lots of access to distilled water all encompassing. I would leman to catch a Waldorf inspired swim mentor that introduces the children in a self-controlled and nourishing saline distilled water form etc to distilled water hole up, but the fitting hood of that is vastly slim. What do we do about this enumerate. Last year I took DD in summer to the saline distilled water baths at a village bank and impartial started ‘getting her adapted to to’ the distilled water with affluent beneath the waves and coming savage up with me holding her etc – she loved it.
