Rudolf Steiner's words

"The heart of the Waldorf method is that education is an art – it must speak to the child's experience. To educate the whole child, his heart and his will must be reached, as well as the mind."---Rudolf Steiner

Drop of Teeth

柔帆是从小就很清楚自己的身体的孩子。昨天门牙开始有摇脱的现象。就叫奶奶“拔”一下，切呱呱叫痛了。后来爸爸说不要弄了，就让它自己掉吧。我问她那牙齿几时会掉呢？她说应该是明天。结果今天奶奶轻轻一碰那门牙，就掉了。她还骄傲的说都不痛的。。。其实他真的和牙齿讲话了。就好象我们和身体讲话一样。现在门牙就在枕头底下，等着明天的五毛钱。：）

The drop of this first tooth is definitely a journey that i would regard as a 'new life'. This means the onset of teaching more 'academic' as she is now more prepared. I was observing her asking more 'scientific' questions such as 'what is the blinking thing in the middle of the road?" " What is the use of this?" and she was not so likely to be bluff over with my self made stories... :P She once told me that I was just making up the stories and this didnt exit. But nevertheless, she still enjoys fairy tales as much as everyone does.
Da Vid told me this before, some one asked Einstein how to make a child happy and he answered, "Fairy tales and more of fairy tales."

Observing and contemplating living creatures - Looking beyond the compound eye

Not remembering which day was it, we moved out Jo Von table to the balcony so that she could draw at her own pace and space under the big blue sky.
I was cooking and heard her calling out loud: Mummy, mummy, come quickly and see! There is a big fly!
It took me sometime to finish cutting the veges before going out to see what was really going on.
Well, well, it was certainly a jumbo fly came visiting! A size of Jo Von thumb!
On one note: i was saying "We seldom see that kind of living creature flying around."
On another note: i heard my heart murmuring, "Would we be able to observe this little living creature looking at us with its compound eyes IF she is still in the kindy NOW?"
Well, maybe yes, but surely we know if there is any such chance, she may be able to see the fly came flying in but before it flew out, we will be calling her to get going "FASTER", "faster" and "faster". --- get going to school faster, get going to bath faster, etc....otherwise we will be late.
"LATE"? Did i mention about LATE?
"BEING LATE" --- a connotation that build the society to "KIASUism".

关于华德福

有时候我会很期待这种教育制度的落实。但更多时候，其实只是我个人对自己的生活态度的一个期许。若非沃道夫，我想很多现代的教育制度都要因为竞争和怕输而叫孩子走向人性的腐败了。感恩这世纪末出现的一个美丽的灵魂---RUDOLF STEINER.
不懂为什么，就是有很多的感动。不懂感动什么。
是因为有机会与亲爱的柔柔多点时间吗？
-- 虽然有点害怕不懂日后他会怪我没把她留下在幼儿园。
还是因为感动自己敢于放下工作，再次更全面的去陪伴孩子共成长？
-- 虽然都明明不知道自己会不会做得和老师一样好。

看了《愚人买鞋》。 就一直想，为什么我不相信自己，切要相信外面的准绳?
