    Thank you for this video. I have been struggling to understand my 9 year old. My normally very agreeable and attached, and still is very attached in many ways, child has turned into a kid I hardly recognize. He has become easily disgruntled, argumentative, doesn't like to be told what he is doing wrong and ways to improve it, is a perfectionist and gives up if he doesn't nail something the first time, and is quite moody. He still has all of his wonderful qualities of course but these other ones are showing more dominant these days. I have taken notes and will explore some ways to turn these new qualities into a positive for us and I definitely need to work on having more patience myself. He has always been an exceptionally well behaved child so I never had to put a lot of hard boundaries in place and I need to make sure I do that and stick to them as well.

    Discovering Waldorf late in my parenting journey. I have a 5 yr old, 11 yr old and high schooler. Still in public school. Wondering of ways I can incorporate more Waldorf philosophy into our home life and test the waters I suppose. Not quite ready to dive right in as they are already quite older.

    Do you keep the children separate or can younger kids overhear the stories & lessons that their older siblings are getting?

    • @waldorfessentials
      @waldorfessentials หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great question. You can try to keep them separate but that depends on what works best for you and your family. Sometimes its hard to do that! The younger ones often hear the stories but it hits them differently when it is their time and they are ready.

    My girls graduated, but my youngest needed "pliable exhaustion" before we could start our lessons. So, we would go for a walk every day. The conversations they would have cracked me up. They would forget I was there. I treasure these memories I had with them.❤ Your parenting advice is always spot on.😊

      Are you referring to when Melisa speaks about having "a million projects and grand ideas"? At 1:25 it says "glardness" in the closed captions. She is saying "own your "choleric-ness". Later it also spells choleric wrong again. We do not control the closed captions, TH-cam sets those up. Sorry about that. Feel free to email us if you have questions about temperament.

    Mine started to realise that some of the magic is not there but I want to keep for my younger boy…how do you handle that…do you really say yes Santa is not real and fairies don’t exist to a 9 year old?

    • @waldorfessentials
      @waldorfessentials 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've mentioned in some of my videos about the holidays and the "sugar plum fairy" during Halloween, the older ones become the magic keepers for the littles. Some 9 year olds still believe more than we think and will hop back and forth as they have younger siblings around. For the 9 year old change if the child is still around younger ones and engaging in imaginary play you will see them still experience the magic of childhood. A great question to ask them is "what do you think" but neither confirm or deny their response. If the child is determined to know the "truth" share with them the magic they felt and how now they can be a part of it with their younger sibling if they would like to.

    Something I started doing a couple months ago was pack lunches for M-F and prep (wash, chop) veggies, make hardboiled eggs, muffins, granola in big 4-gallon batches (lasts several weeks in my house) cook up some potatoes, chia pudding so basically I only have to make dinner all week and most of the work is already done for that--just scoop out some onions here, some mushrooms there, etc and I have meals ready in 10-15 minutes.

    What I do, is I have two in the grades and a kinder. So there's enough block pages for each kid to have one section per month per block, even if it's a reoccurring block! So it'll start with the month we start, this year it's August, tab one is blue and is sectioned off for my 6th grader, block is laid out, materials, experiences, trips etc and the next page with the weeks I white it out and label them for weeks 1-4 in a month. We're doing five days a week this year and taking every tenth off so that rounds out to be every other Monday off and the end of the month is pretty open! So we can use that for trips, make up work, wrapping up, documentaries etc.

    I have found this video so immensely helpful. Thank you so much for posting it. I have recently discovered Waldorf and I am so sad I did not know about it sooner. I have a daughter who will start third grade this fall. I really want to put her in a Waldorf School but have some hesitations and concerns about whether or not it would be a good fit for her. She has struggled a bit academically in traditional school. I worry that if I put her in a Waldorf School she will feel even further behind because it will be so different to her. But I also want for her to develop a love for learning. She does not have that at her current school and very much struggles with anxiety regarding learning. Any advice would be greatly appreciated❤

    Melissa I need your expertise. I have a 4 1/2 year old with ASD and a 2 1/2 year old with ASD. Both boys. One is a bit more severe than the other but I absolutely love the Waldorf philosophy and would just love for them to go to a Waldorf school but I’m scared of losing their services or for them to regress. I don’t know what to do.

      Hi, have you thought about homeschooling them? Would you be able to keep their services?

    This was the first video I have watched about Waldorf in the home. I would have appreciated some understanding of the philosophy sprinkled in this video as well to understand the purpose of fluff or general educational philosophy in a home setting. Do you have other videos that go a bit deeper to provide context?

    Thank you for talking about this. It's important. These children are shaping their own personal character and we definitely need to be available to guide them. Otherwise, they'll be in danger of following the wrong lead.

    Thank you! This is exactly the type of information I've been looking for and haven't been able to find. I'm wondering if it's because Waldorf is a patented method, unlike many other homeschooling methods. I'm currently in my first year of homeschooling using a Charlotte Mason approach, which i feel like is a great balance between some of the Waldorf concepts and a more classical or traditional method. But I'm curious to try a few weeks of Waldorf style lessons and see how it works for us. I've always thought that Waldorf was more difficult to implement and it seems like that is the case, but there are benefits in that as well!
