The Four Temperaments by Helmut Eller & Cynthia Eller

Here  is a thorough investigation of these unusual pedagogical tools used by  Waldorf teachers around the world: The Four Temperaments. Both teachers  and parents will delight in understanding the different characteristics  of each temperament and how these play into the development of every  child (and every grownup, too). Used as a tool for understanding rather  than for categorizing, the temperaments can be magical in their power to  help a child to be seen and understood by the adults who care for them.  These may sound a bit archaic, but Helmut Eller, from years of  classroom experience in Waldorf teaching in Germany, brings them solidly  into the twenty-first century! They are an abandoned ideal that needs  re-implementing as they provide a wealth of help in finding a way to the  heart and enthusiasm of every youngster. A good read with light-hearted  goodwill in it for taking these temperaments as the artistic resources  they are.
