Melisa and Erik Nielsen share their experience with the Melancholic temperament.

There are four temperaments
Melancholic
Sanguine
Phlegmatic
and Choleric

It is best to learn about each and decide which is your primary and secondary.

Taking the time to explore the inner work of temperament can be a challenge but it can also completely transform your Waldorf homeschooling and parenting.

"Our family has been homeschooling with Waldorf for many years and I have tried many different variations for planning. The Planning for Peace Journal has everything in one spot, with great spaces for writing and organizing my ideas. I love the sections for inner work and evaluations! I refer to my plans in the journal daily and look forward to using it again with two high school students and one middle school student!" ~ Lara Munro
