Waldorf education is grounded in offering what is developmentally appropriate for children as they age.

What Straight-A Students Get Wrong

Submitted by Stacie Henderson on Tue, 12/25/2018 - 8:16am

This holiday season resist the urge to compare and contrast your child to others, especially on temporary markers such as grades and test scores.

You gain experience coping with failures and setbacks, which builds resilience." http://ow.ly/GjoH30mWThW
