Description …The book begins with an essay from the authors on the changes they have observed in children in recent years: “We observe that children are having difficulty finding their way into physical life in a harmonious way, into a sense of well-being. The body is not a comfortable home where they can feel relaxed and safe. A close look at these phenomena reveals that they are related to the four foundational senses of touch, life, self-movement, and balance.” Complete with nursery rhyme movement, bean bag games, seasonal suggestions, how to prepare the environment and what is happening “under the surface” with movements and activities, this book is a must-have resource for anyone working with younger children. — Waldorf Books A collection of all new material, plus a reprint of useful essays on the twelve senses and sensory development, building upon the foundation established in Volume One. There are new sections on movement to nursery rhymes, bean bag imaginations for young children, and some pedagogical contemplation on what stands behind the visible movements and activities we do to support the child’s incarnation on subtle physical levels.
