A Practical Guide to Curative Education The Ladder of the Seven Life Processes by Robyn M. Brown

The last two decades have seen a significant rise  in the number of children being diagnosed with mental and behavioral  disorders. As yet there is no definitive consensus as to why these  disorders are so prevalent in children today, and what this indicates  about the world in which we live. Parents and educators now faced with  challenges they did not foresee are often ill-equipped to address them.
At  the heart of Waldorf Education lies an approach that seeks to meet each  individual child on his or her own terms, and yet the new and greater  challenges presented by many children today lie outside the traditional  training of most teachers. Drawing on the ideas of Rudolf Steiner’s  pioneering Curative Education Course, this book goes back to basics and  examines the potential benefits of his unique educational approach in  today’s classrooms. Robyn Brown, an experienced teacher, has found that  it can lead to calmer, more productive learning spaces and children who  develop into well-rounded individuals, ready to become responsible and  creative citizens.
At a time when even longtime experienced  educators are struck by how the dynamics of their classrooms have  changed, this is a much needed reminder of a tried and tested approach  that can work for every child, and ultimately for our society.ISBN:       9781584209829
