Because they were given to \"pioneers\" dedicated to opening a new Waldorf school, these talks are often considered one of the best introductions to Waldorf education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteiner shows the necessity for teachers to work on themselves first, in order to transform their own inherent gifts. He explains the need to use humor to keep their teaching lively and imaginative. Above all, he stresses the tremendous importance of doing everything in the knowledge that children are citizens of both the spiritual and the earthly worlds. And, throughout these lectures, he continually returns to the practical value of Waldorf education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese talks are filled with practical illustrations and revolve around certain themes--the need for observation in teachers; the dangers of stressing the intellect too early; children's need for teaching that is concrete and pictorial; the education of children's souls through wonder and reverence; the importance of first presenting the \"whole,\" then the parts, to the children's imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is one of the best introductions to Waldorf education, straight from the man who started it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is a translation of \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDie Kunst des Erziehens aus dem Erfassen der Menschenwesenheit, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e volume 311 of the Complete Centenary Edition of the works of Rudolf Steiner, published by Rudolf Steiner Verlag, Dornach, Switzerland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-463155\"\u003eRudolf Steiner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steiner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 5.60w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780880104029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0880104023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU040000\"\u003ePhilosophy, Theory \u0026amp; Social Aspects\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU029100\"\u003eTeaching | Methods \u0026amp; Strategies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU017000\"\u003eHome Schooling\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steiner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44522107076845,"sku":"9780880104029","price":21.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_9fea8a75-62e3-4a33-b863-294ba755f592.jpg?v=1701300454","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-kingdom-of-childhood-introductory-talks-on-waldorf-education-cw-311-9780880104029","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
