In Episode 7 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast Chloe and Keshia take a seat with Melanie Deefholts, the face of Practical Wholistic Parenting, educator of educators and supporting parents and teachers to understand child development. This is a brilliant conversation rich in knowledge, speaking to the young child and development through the anthroposophical lens of Rudolph Steiner. Melanie grounds these theories in a digestible and relatable way, giving examples we have all lived through, and practical advice on how to use our adult faculties to give balanced responses when faced with difficult scenarios from our children.

Melanie is a facilitator of the Healthy Relationships with Self and Others: Social Understanding Gender and Sexuality Program for Developing the Self Developing the World and regularly gives lectures at Waldorf Schools around Australia and the world. You can find more of her work:
