Many parents of young children ask how best to bring Waldorf ideas and best practices in their homes.

This inspiring but accessible collection of articles, originally published in the anthroposophical magazine Lilipoh, offers suggestions for home-based activities, both work and play, to help develop a conscientious home life with young children.

Parents are encouraged to think of themselves as a leader, showing children the way down a path. But sometimes parents must step to one side and be a guide instead, walking alongside their child. This book will help parents understand when to lead and when to guide, for a long and fruitful journey.

'... Nancy offers practical and enjoyable ways to approach parenthood with courage and a sense of freedom... Nancy's insights, built on experiences with her students, children, and grand--children, offer profound reassurance.'
