Learning doesn't just happen at school.  It starts at home!  In this episode, we talk with Rahima Baldwin-Dancy, who is a Waldorf early childhood educator, mother of 4, and author of You Are Your Child's First Teacher, about how we can cultivate learning in the home environment.  In our conversation, we explore:

• Why we need to preserve childhood and resist the cultural forces pushing children to grow up faster
• How children learn through rhythm, repetition, and movement
• The power of connection and play
• The importance of cultivating a space for children to dream and see the world as magical and full of wonder
