Waldorf Handwork and Education with Children under 5

[@aconsciousmomma]

Ha phoenix sounds like my kiddo, and they're bout the same age! I felt I knew all this inside but didnt always manage it or feel I had the resources... so lovely wish I would've watched you then! we did a few of these things back then and I always tried to be the example and let him follow but must admit I sometimes felt frustrated...such an emotional lesson, so beautiful and so perfect too. To other mommas dont stress go with the flow and enjoy!!

Thank you for this video. It really has me thinking about how I approach activities with my child.

So many great suggestions. And those books are fantastic I always go back to " you are your child's first teacher. I recently got seven times the sun. Im always on the look out for good steiner/Waldorf inspired books. As always thank you for your videos 🌻🌻

Thanks Charmiane. Yes 7 times round the sun is a good one too!

How do you recommend interacting with a child who, when given the opportunity to be near what you're doing, or involved with an activity, immediate tries to break items, undo what you are doing forcefully, or just to stop you doing what you're doing? I've tried to include without instructing, remove expectations, etc... but I am increasingly frustrated with the chaotic response...and I feel more and more at a loss.

I'm not sure of the exact dynamics between you and your child, but is there a possibility that he is wanting a more direct connection with you? Perhaps sitting in your lap? Singing and rocking, playing finger games together? Or you can invite your child to do large motor movements to get the wiggles out before settling down to more quiet activities with you.
