Description : 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.
