  • 100. Three Practices for a Waldorf Home When You Aren't Homeschooling or Can't Afford the Curriculum

    Melisa understands. She's been there when you don't have to nickels to rub together.

    - Maybe you can't homeschool
    - Maybe you can't afford the curriculum
    - Maybe you don't have the fancy art supplies

    Melisa has 3 tips every home can put into practice to create a Waldorf experience.

    1. Turn off the media. Go to the library and borrow books. Read together, create a love for reading.

    2. Do art. You don't need the expensive supplies. Do art with what you have.

    3. Use the time you do have wisely. Even if it's a few moments. Spend time with the child. Working a full time job, two jobs, three jobs the time you have free connect with them through reading and art.

    Have the homeschool and peaceful foundation of your dreams.

  • 98. Rhythm During the Holidays

    Melisa Nielsen shares what works for their family during the holiday season.

    It's not focused on specific religions and each practices special to your family.

    This is more about what's in the air, shopping experiences and invites to all the things.

    - Is your partner going to be home more for the holidays or out more working to prepare for the holidays?

    Have a family meeting.

    - Pull out the calendars and make sure everyone is on the same page.

    It's ok to say no, I'm sorry we can't make it to events. Having home days is important and necessary to keep everyone in the family healthy and well.

    - Shopping, have a plan to go without the kids. Over stimulation and wondering what presents will be is too much for a calm holiday.

    Even holiday music can be overstimulating.
