Regular contact with other families can be a vital lifeline for parents with young children - a chance to make friends, ask questions, learn new skills and gain confidence in their own abilities as a parent. Rudolf Steiner's insight into the spiritual, sensory and intellectual needs of early childhood has inspired a unique kind of parent and child group. Drawing on this approach, Dot Male's book shows parents how they can join together with others to create a supportive family community. Illustrated with case studies from around the world, her lively, accessible guide to running a thriving parent and child group explains how to: create a calm, harmonious space ; use rhythm and ritual to structure a session ; devise appropriate toys, crafts, games and outdoor play ; celebrate seasonal festivals and the cycle of the year ; fulfil key health, safety and legal requirements. Written with the needs of busy parents in mind, the handbook can be used as a quick read for inspiration and ideas or as a comprehensive reference. Each chapter includes an introductory overview, a summary of key points, and, for those who wish to explore the issues further, book lists and useful contacts.

This is both a theoretical and practical book giving a complete pathway to teaching children how to write and read in Classes 1 and 2. This book provides teachers with appealing, easy-to-use plans and practical activities for immediate use. It also sets out fundamental principles of Steiner Waldorf pedagogy. It shows how this dovetails with the best of both mainstream primary approaches and specialist dyslexia-friendly methods. Teachers can use these principles to become confident in creating their own activities and resources. The book showcases the holistic, creative aspects of the Steiner Waldorf literacy approach. The teaching of writing before reading is prioritized so as to engage children's creativity in learning. Developing the child's own voice through writing and storytelling, to lead over into reading, is highly effective for motivation and success.
