3 years wow! Your blog is amazing and has truly changed (for the better) the way I parent and helped me home educated my 4 children. So, thank you.
Thank you Taira!
Many blessings to you,
Carrie
Thanks for sharing this, Carrie!
Super excited about all of this! So glad you are participating in Kyrie’s ‘Ordinary Arts’ endeavor. What a great idea! As for your previous post, I had a bit of a giggle about ‘The Well-Trained Mind’ reference. I bought that book when I first started homeschooling (9 years ago). It suited me well as a resource and I think the first 4 chapters are great as far as philosophy goes, but each year I find myself drifting more and more away from that book. I’m going further and further into this whole Waldorf gig. . .I sometimes wish I had gotten a hold of Waldorf materials 9 years ago!! Should I start my 14 year old over in Kindergarten?!?!?!? Ha! Ha! Ha! Looking forward to next week. . .
H West — Love this! Waldorf land is so wonderful, nah, don’t go back, just go forward!
I know there is not a lot out there for the 14 year old in Waldorf land, but I think Melisa Nielsen is now delving into high school with her children and there are some wonderful mothers on her list who have done high school Waldorf style! homeschoolingwaldorf@yahoogroups.com
Hugs, and many blessings! Thanks for the giggle!
