Math with Multiple Ages

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Sometimes we get so involved in homeschooling, teaching or studying “methods” that we can lose track of the simple joy of a task. My son, who loves counting things has taught me that counting is a most joyful task and has benefits for all ages – even adults! My entire life I always thought of […]

Discipline in the Waldorf Classroom

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

As we were returning home from our travels yesterday we stopped at a rest stop to use the bathrooms. My youngest, who is quite particular about things, entered the restrooms, and immediately came out again exclaiming, “THAT is disgusting. I am not using those!” I was a little embarrassed because a woman had arrived about […]

Healing Breath

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

The other day I happened to be in a room with a reiki master when I experienced a tightening of my chest. It was uncomfortable but it was not unexpected. I had just eaten a bagle with lox and cream cheese and raw onion, I had not slept well the night before and I was stressed. A lot of […]

How Do You Know if You Are Qualified to Homeschool?

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Monday Meditation After 19 years of taking nature walks with my children, self and friends I felt like I was a bit of an expert.  I had learned how to forage and find herbs and had even taken two years of tracking classes so I could see animal signs. We experienced nature walks amazing ways! […]

Waldorf Homeschooling Time Management

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

I want to give you a few free hours this week! Now you are probably wondering how I am going to do that. Perhaps I watched the movie “In Time” too frequently and I actually think I can add time to your countdown clock. Oh wait! That was a science fiction movie. I guess I […]

Hands On Education: Working with Your Hands in the Classroom

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

As parents and teachers using Waldorf-inspired methods we learn about the importance of making sure there is a balance between the head, heart and hands* in daily education. Steiner teaches that this balance is essential to learning and that when a child is engaged and balanced on all three levels that their learning happens more […]

Breaking Down “Shoulds” and Stereotypes in Homeschooling

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

The other night I saw a spider in my living-room. Now, usually I just pick it up with a cup and put it outside but it was late and this spider was really big so I got a shoe and went over to smash it. Then I stopped myself. “I don’t usually kill them,” I […]

Inner Work & Meditative Time for Children

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

There is a lot of talk in the Waldorf community about inner work for the teacher and parent but we often forget that children also need this time. A teacher/parent is encouraged to wake up early and start the day with some inner work and time to meditate or be alone so they can center […]
