Helping Children on Their Way by Elizabeth Auer

Teachers and parents know that each child is a  tiny miracle, a complex puzzle needing to be solved. This book is packed  with insights from experienced teachers in Waldorf schools describing  methods that a teacher can employ to help an individual child while  helping an entire class. Child observation, movement exercises, eye-hand  coordination, effective tracking of the difficulties a child might  have, temperaments, artistic work, moveable classrooms, disciplinary  techniques, understanding the place of sleep, hands-on activities, and  much, much more are all packed into this one book. Elizabeth Auer, the  editor, has gathered 30 chapters from almost as many teachers to  instruct us on approaches that can unlock the mystery presented by every  child we teach. Her own years of experience in remedial ideas for  support of every student along with a whole class makes the selection of  topics and teachers especially incisive and complete. Parents, too, can  use the book to help a child at home with learning challenges.
