Description
Young children's drawings are a window into their development. This book explores what parents and educators can learn from these pictures about children's growth, both physically and spiritually. Christhilde Blume, an experienced paediatrician, has studied hundreds of drawings to understand the connections between different shapes and stages of development. Her approach is based on Rudolf Steiner's theory that development is universal and can be observed in the work of children from all backgrounds. By examining these drawings, adults can gain insights into a child's inner world, including their physical, psychological, and spiritual development. This unique approach has been used by Dr Blume to help children who are experiencing difficulties or challenges in their lives.
