The Way of a Child

The book represents a comprehensive account of what lies behind an educational movement of growing importance and authority. It is the movement deriving from the work of the Austrian philosopher, scientist and seer, Rudolf Steiner. His life spanned the second half of the last century and the first quarter of this. His genius far transcended his age and fate, and his distinction, to be a scientist among artists and an artist among scientists, a universal genius in an age of specialists, a spiritual investigator among the still triumphant explorers of the physical world. Few even know that Steiner's work in the educational field has led to the foundation of schools in all parts of the world. Today there are over 350 independent Waldorf Schools offering programs K through 12throughout the world. In Germany the schools are so popular that children are enrolled at birth to insure a place in their first grade class. In the US there are about 80 Waldorf Schools.

Pressured by exams and premature academic demands, surrounded by screens and technology, children today face huge challenges. Childhood itself, it could be said, is facing a crisis. Are children in danger of losing their natural imaginative faculties, which are the source of all creative activity in later life? As a society, are we in danger of losing childhood altogether? First published in 1940, Harwood’s little book has become a classic introduction to the perennial themes of child development and growth, as well as the basic principles of Steiner/Waldorf education. Harwood (1898–1975) was one of the founding members of the first Steiner school in the English-speaking world, and worked for many years as a teacher. His sensitive awareness and respect for the innate wisdom of childhood shine through his words. Despite the passing of time, the archetypal principles he addresses, as well as the sympathetic picture of childhood he paints, remain highly relevant.

The Way of a Child: An Introduction to Steiner Education and the Basics of Child Development

“Eurythmy is that very thing which dancers with a true idealism have been unconsciously seeking―that inner harmony and balance that was a natural condition of the Greeks, visible in their statues and carved figures, so that, even in a standing pose, movement seems to flow through them.” Eurythmy is an expressive art of movement in which specific gestures relate to the sounds and rhythms of speech, to the tones and rhythms of music and to soul experiences, such as joy and sorrow. In this succinct and accessible booklet, the authors present a clear introduction to this contemporary art form in the context of the impulse of dance today. What is eurythmy, and how does it relate to other arts of movement and dance? What is eurythmy’s purpose, and why did Rudolf Steiner create it in the early twentieth century? These and many more questions are answered in this extended essay, supplemented by 35 sketches of eurythmy figures by Rudolf Steiner that illustrate gestures of movement, feeling and character.
