This book is done in a question and answer format compiled from threads on the Christopherus Waldorf At Home Forum that will be closing in June. It preserves the privacy of the forum participants but maintains the warmth and love of those forum members and lets readers hear different voices, different ideas, along with lots of commentary from Donna Simmons in her warm and well-versed in Waldorf parenting way.
I have contributed some developmental pieces for sections, and also contributed my voice as a moderator for some of the threads.
I am so pleased, and I think you all will be as well.
Many blessings,
Carrie
The Parenting Passageway 
I am most certainly ordering this book.
Carrie, I am wondering if perhaps you might do a piece on Waldorf and Mother Mary? (i.e- the appearance of the archetypal mother in so many early childhood classrooms…it speaks to me! So beautiful!)

OH YES!!!!!! I cannot wait for this ebook. What a wonderful addition this will be to any parenting library. I just know that this will be a gem!
This is wonderful Carrie! Congratulations, and am looking forward to seeing it in print. Even giving it as gifts to parents I know and love.
Sorry, ebooks aren’t in print I suppose :()

Carrie, can you tell me why the Christopherus Waldorf At Home Forum will be closing?
Not to be nosy or anything, but I planned on joining it in a couple of months, as I do/ did not have much time to spend on the computer recently.
Thank you!
