Description
The Kingdom of Childhood: Seven Lectures and Answers to Questions Given in Torquay, August 12-20, 1924
These seven talks, presented to a small group of pioneers dedicated to opening a new Waldorf school, offer a unique insight into the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner's approach to education. Steiner emphasizes the importance of teachers working on themselves to transform their own gifts, using humor to keep teaching lively, and fostering a deep connection between children and the spiritual world.
Steiner stresses the need for practical, concrete teaching methods that prioritize observation, wonder, and reverence, and encourages teachers to present the "whole" before breaking it down into parts. This revised edition of his lectures provides a valuable introduction to Waldorf education, straight from the founder himself.
