HOW TO CREATE A WALDORF ENVIRONMENT | HOMESCHOOL

The Waldorf philosophy is one of educating the child as a whole emotional, spiritual and intellectual being. In the first seven years of life, the child is a bring of imitation. A time with the will dominates and emotions are dynamic and hard to control. The philosophy aims to education the child within each developmental stage with an appropriate environment filled with the materials and people needed to help the child through each stage of his growth and transition.

During the young years, it's so important to reduce or eliminate screen time. Not only does it free up time for more worthy endeavors, simply the act of watching the screen disrupts brain waves and that's especially significant in the young years.

Reducing plastic toys (especially the cheap ones) is going to present opportunities for more natural toys and that lend themselves to open-ended creative play. When you purge your home regularly, you become mindful of what you are getting rid of, and usually, it's not the high quality all-natural toys.

When you can't have everything you desire and your home is still filled with non-Waldorf item, don't worry, just hide them! Drape a sheet or other fabric on the TV, workout equipment or anything else that is invading your serene environment.
