<b><i>You Are Your Child's First Teacher</i> was the first book in America to popularize the insights of Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Waldorf schools, regarding the developmental needs of young children. This revised and updated edition offers new ways for parents and educators to enrich the lives of children from birth to age six.</b><br><br>Since this book first appeared, the complexity and stressfulness of life for young children has increased, and parents are bombarded by contradictions when seeking advice on raising children. <i>You Are Your Child's First Teacher</i> is not just another set of child-rearing rules, but a new way of understanding child development—body, mind, emotions, and spirit—that equips parents to make their own decisions based on cognitive and intuitive knowledge and to raise a well-rounded child.
