Melisa Nielsen at Waldorf Essentials busts the myth that Waldorf Homeschooling has to be expensive. 

- There are a lot of resources. 

- Take Waldorf Essential samples and listen to our videos or podcast and you could create a lot from there. 

- Use what you already have!

- Steiner said kids could model from mud in the street if need be. 

- Save $5 a week, that's $20 a month to start getting supplies you would like to have.

-Why the reproductive discussion is meant to happen in 7th grade

-How to use a circle journal to help young teens who are uncomfortable asking questions

-How to best answer difficult questions from little ones

Steady and Strong is a support group for parents going through divorce. The group will focus on those that are trying to navigate this space. 

Please pay what you can. It is a one time payment. All funds go to support our parent ministry here at Auriel's Light.

This is a hard topic to go through. I have been there and I have helped 100’s of people through this. Divorce. 

Note this may bring healing to you if you were a child of divorce. 

Here are my tips for you if you are navigating this space:

- Make sure you know the finances and passwords. 

- Learn your homeschool laws for your state at 

https://hslda.org/

- Find a lawyer sympathetic to homeschoolers. 

- Bite your tongue, it’s not worth saying things when you are angry. Stay grounded through meditation and or/prayer. 

- Consider therapy for your child. Consider therapy for your self. 

- If you are medically opposed find a lawyer with common ground. Do your homework to support each child. If they need to eat a certain way, low tech etc. Document it all and do all the research you can. 

- Evaluate your homeschooling. This is why planning for peace is key!

- Create a blog to document what you are doing in your homeschooling and only allow access to the other parent. 

- Stay on top of your parenting, keep it together. Inner work is key.

Join Melisa as she delves deep into how Waldorf homeschooling can provide wonderful opportunities for diversity. Waldorf education can sometimes be viewed as not diverse enough; and for some Waldorf schools, that may be the case. In a homeschooling setting, however, that does not have to be the case. In this video, Melisa discusses how to add more diversity to your curriculum and how diverse representation starts at home.  

In this video you will learn:

-The importance of diverse representation and anti-racism being a part of your family culture. 

- How to bring diversity to your children organically.

-How Waldorf lays the groundwork for a beautiful exploration of communities, cultures, and belief systems.
