What is Waldorf Education? Waldorf in a Nutshell 

Thank you, Jess! My plan is start posting a new video again every week now. My grown son Harper, a filmmaker, has been really helpful in getting the series going again. It's so hard as our children approach adulthood, to not have regrets about things we wish we'd done differently, isn't it? But we have to constantly remind ourselves that we did the best we could with the information we had at the time. I often say that Waldorf teachers may not be experts in every subject, but over eight years, they become an expert on the children in their class.

Your son is obviously a credit to you! And yes - you have summed it up perfectly, that's all children really need isn't it, adults who know them and love them and they'll do the rest in their own time! x

Jess K hi interested in following the Waldorf education can you please guid me like curriculum and structure you did and favorite resources ?

Hi! My son is almost 13 and he has Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia. He is also Dyspraxic. I have been homeschooling him for four years now after he consistently fell behind year after year in public school. We haven't found anything that works for him yet and he is at like a 3rd grade math level. Is it too late to begin this teaching method with him? I have an 11 month old and 15 month old that I want to begin the process with soon too.

Planzwrecker Smith thank you for giving your experience! My daughter is almost 2 and I heard about this for the first time today so, I started researching. I appreciate reading the experience of an a former student! 🙏🏾 Namaste.

Omg me too

Would this be a good choice for autistic/ special needs children? Do you allow other therapies to come in during preschool like Occupational and physical therapies?

​@@Ctinari, this education is the best for autistic children. Because in this school are special groups for everyone. In german I could explain better 😅. I saw the children in a german waldorf school, the teacher work mich more than other teacher. They work with heart for every kind of children.

Blessings that’s good to hear because I am a new mom and I never heard of this but I love the concept and I certainly do wish I had it as childhood✨To give my daughter the best start🙏🏼

Wow! You are so lucky. My traumatic early "learning" experience cast a shadow through out the first half of my life. Totally support this education.

Barely saw this video so sorry for such a late reply lol but yes to all of this. Regular education systems here in America don't support creative outlets very much and when they do have anything it's rarely actually enjoyable unless you get lucky with a passionate teacher.

Hannah Thomas Oh gosh, that is so kind of you to say! I have good lighting that helps. ;)

Yes!!!!! So beautiful!!!

I thought that very same thing 🥰

Yeah i agree can she be my teacher?

@Riley Red Yes! Woman like this give me courage to age.. not that I have the choice... but it helps to see them so graceful, beautiful, and wise. It makes me look to the future with gladness and excitement instead of dread.

That's so lovely to hear, Luciernaga. Thanks so much for taking the time to write to let me know!

I'm so happy to BE back! Thanks for watching and commenting, Liesje.

That's wonderful, SassyLittleFrassie! Thanks for watching.

scary

@@twa4077 why?

Thank you, Kristin. It's good to be back! My kids can attest that my state wasn't always so calm and peaceful while they were growing up. ;)

I am too, Taryn! It's what I love doing more than anything. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

Thank you, Hazel RC!

How lucky you are, Valentina, to have been able to go to a Waldorf school through high school! I think I decided to become a Waldorf teacher after my first visit to a Waldorf school, wishing that I had had a Waldorf education. Thanks for your kind comment. That's quite an endorsement coming from someone who attended a Waldorf school for so many years!

I was from elemantary till High School .

Thank you, Helen! I'm so happy to hear that you found it helpful. That's my goal!

Sunday with Sarah We are new to homeschool and Waldorf and many of your videos have helped me gain better understanding on the philosophy but also ways of implementing it in our home.

Thank you, ablindgibsongirl. I'm glad to be back!

Thanks for watching and commenting, Madalyn! This is a great question, and one that I would be happy to address in a future video. Stay tuned! xo Sarah

hi, is there a video about this now? thanks :) i have the same concern.

These schools have racist principles woven through them. Please watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WpOXitdxzk4.html

So glad! Thank you, LoLoandMommyVlogs.

you’re a pyscho. brain washed

IAM starting forest school qualification. Look at gowildeducation as she is a steiner qualified teacher as well! as well as level 1 is free online! But boom.. this is the awakening.. and you my friend could start your own group!!! As the leader yeeees

@@twa4077 And you are probably influenced by Ahriman. Typical response of Him.

@@danieldiaz4584 okay you brain washed weirdo lol i dont even know what the fuck you’re talking about

You're welcome, Lynn. Thanks for commenting, and sending greetings back to you from the other side of the world!

Rudolph Steiner's belief system is so eccentric, (ego-centric!) so unsupported by evidence, so manifestly bizarre, that rational skeptics are bound to consider it delusional.

Well you cannot not learn how to add even if you don’t like math. Doesn’t mean you have to take calculus but you need basic skills

Fill 'em with wonder , thank you! All is well. Hope you are, too.

Google Waldorf Schools in Pennsylvania??

Well depends

May I ask what country this is? The nearest Waldorf school to me has fees of around $3600 for every grade. This is in Australia

@@ellagalle Hello. The tuition I mentioned is in American dollars. I'm outside of New Orleans.

I would never recommend Waldorf. My younger family member lost morals, became rude, and developed disrespect to me as a result. Rudolph Steiner's belief system is so eccentric, (ego-centric!) so unsupported by evidence, so manifestly bizarre, that rational skeptics are bound to consider it delusional.

That seems incredibly cheap to me. In NYC, the Waldorf school is almost $40,000 - $51,000 a year. In Long Island, NY, Waldorf is $25,000-$30,000. I now live in TN, and we have here one of the lowest costs of living in the USA. Our private school, which is not strictly Waldorf, but does borrow aspects of it, is $13,500. If it’s 13k here, I can’t fathom where you live where it’s cheaper than that!?

@@tulayamalavenapi4028 you are commenting on tons of things and just repeating the comments. I'm confused why you say they are rude when the waldorf method focuses mostly on empathy. Every comment I see from you is super uneducated on the subject.

1. Non- Academic Preschool 0:50 2. Storytelling 2:08 3. Integrated Arts 2:52 4. Class Teacher Looping 4:45 5. Main Lesson Books 6:45 There you go! Enjoy!

Don't waste your time, friend. Rudolph Steiner's belief system is so eccentric, (ego-centric!) so unsupported by evidence, so manifestly bizarre, that rational skeptics are bound to consider it delusional. I had a family member who went to a Waldorf School, and had no problem ruining my relationship with said member.

I don't remember ever sitting at a desk... I still don't!

I’m currently listening in 1.75x speed I feel your pain

Can I ask what happened? I’m quite curious about this whole concept but your comment has me concerned suddenly

@@ellagalle I'm 15 years old and have been in waldorf education since I was 7....in the area I live in....I stood out as 'one of those kids that goes to the weird school' the system has no focus whatsoever on exams or academic lifestyle... Which is important because without qualifications you cant really get a job very easily

Rudolph Steiner's belief system is so eccentric, (ego-centric!) so unsupported by evidence, so manifestly bizarre, that rational skeptics are bound to consider it delusional. I have a younger family member who went to a Waldorf school. It ruined said member in many ways.

@@tulayamalavenapi4028 Hmm maybe thats because it opposes Ahriman education system? You see the modern education system is so corrupted, that it needs to change. Perhaps This school is the change to break from Ahriman's control.

How? Every student I've seen has been better than an average student.

Or a proven way to teach kids successfully rather than how normal American public schools "teach"

I've never seen that, I've seen many successful people in stem programs in college from these schools. The students always tend to do better than the average public school

Sure, and this is coming form your background in higher education or because these schools say so. You should actually look at the statistics coming from the university’s. Also take in to consideration those kids you say go off and excel In these fields had outside tutors to supplement their education.

@Cultivating Curiosity You must be Waldorf educated. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Really, the most important thing for a teacher in dealing with pre-reading age children is the correct use of air quotes. Without that the century old teaching methodology of Waldorf education crumbles. Glad I read this comment and avoided sending my four kids through Waldorf, with my oldest graduating with honors and landing a dream job at Google. Oh, wait, no I did send my kids through Waldorf school, and it was inspiring and wonderful. Haters gonna hate.

@@mattmyren2723 "Really, the most important thing for a teacher in dealing with pre-reading age children is the correct use of air quotes. Without that the century old teaching methodology of Waldorf education crumbles. Glad I read this comment and avoided sending my four kids through Waldorf..." You were going for witty but ended up strawmanning at best or being too daft to understand what I actually said at worst. "...with my oldest graduating with honors and landing a dream job at Google." Glad your kid landed his dream tech job by attending a school that treats technology as an evil hindrance on intelligence. As long as your kid didn't land this job despite the shitty school you send them to, and/or you aren't some pathologic liar, lying about your successful kid. "Oh, wait, no I did send my kids through Waldorf school, and it was inspiring and wonderful." Unfortunately for your children, it's your legal right to send your kids to whatever ridiculous excuse for a school you see fit. I don't really care. "Hater's gonna hate." I made a harmless and perceptive joke. It bore no judgment on Waldorf education, not serious judgment, anyway. You are the hater here, you thin-skinned fool. Edit: Grammar

@@lo-fi-meditation You Must be Manipulated by Ahriman Forces😂

@@mattmyren2723 Way to go!

The public school institutions in America and abroad have been infiltrated by intelligence agencies desperate to recruit the brightest minds of the future. In the book, Spy Schools: How the CIA, FBI and Foreign Intelligence Secretly Exploit America’s Universities, investigative journalist Daniel Golden details the exploitative relationship between higher education and intelligence services, both foreign and domestic. Golden examines various case studies illustrating how the Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation use higher education to their advantage." source: irasocol.medium.com/the-prussian-model-and-the-failure-of-personal-ethics-83cf46602c92

@Enchanted Homeschool it is still harming the animals in the process just like milk. The way we get these things are no cruelty free.

@PhDangerously Over Educated yeah bees maybe but how cows milk is mass produced is pretty tragic.

Man sounds fit for this kind of school, all right
