Product Description

Review

'This book has been a standard text and has provided student teachers, therapists, parents and many others with an overview of child development from an anthroposophical perspective. I have been saying for years that it should be updated and now this has happened. This book is quite simplay a 'must'. -- Martyn Rawson, Steiner Education, September 2005


Product Description

-- How can education work in harmony with a child's developing relationship with the world around it? -- How can education take account of body, soul, and spirit? Bernard Lievegoed takes a child's full humanity -- body, soul and spirit -- as his starting point. From this, a philosophy and pedagogy emerge in which, he argues, children can become happy, wise and skilled adults only when education takes the development of these three aspects into account from the very beginning. Drawing on the educational ideas of Rudolf Steiner, and on a philosophical tradition going back to Goethe and Schiller, Lievegoed turns away from the materialist nineteenth-century notion of 'knowledge is power' which still pervades mainstream education today. He describes the three main stages of child development -- pre-school, schoolchild and teenager -- in a clear and concise way. Lievegoed shows that each stage of roughly seven years has its own character, and its own genetic and biographical potential. The author goes on to explore the practical application of these insights as an education method in harmony with the child's developing relationship with the world around them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for parents who want to understand children!, 2 Mar 2002
By A Customer
I have borrowed this book and cannot bear to give it back until my own arrives through the post! It describes each phase of child development so accurately and I find I am constantly dipping into it to find explanations for behaviours in my 12, 8 and 6 year olds. It is spot on each time with its descriptions of behaviour and is great preparation for what to expect next. This is not just for families who follow the "Steiner" philosophy. It's for any parent who wants to parent more effectively
