Waldorf teachers, Curative Educators, and parents alike often search for a resource that provides an anthroposophic understanding in plain, accessible language. Dr. Meron Barak's new book provides just that. Although its focus is the «restless child», the beginning chapters offer an overview of foundational concepts that will be useful in understanding any child. Most importantly, the book offers practical approaches and activities for effective remediation and support for the oversensitive, overactive child. In addition, the appendices describe several anthroposophic therapies in detail. These will be an invaluable resource for parents seeking help for their child's challenging behaviors. Also included are descriptions of meditations for both teachers and parents.
Dr. Barak is an anthroposophic physician, researcher, and psychotherapist in Israel. He has supported and consulted with Waldorf schools for over three decades. His years of experience and depth of understanding form the basis for this highly useful book. Readers will benefit from the clarity of his writing and his fresh insights into the underlying causes of restlessness and anxiety in children.
