The Child as a Mystery  Reflections on the Image of a Child

The child, presented as a mystery, allows the reader access to the core of the Steiner-Walddorf pedagogical approach. A clear and comprehensive understanding of students enables the promotion of their individual development.

This text is more of a description and illustration of different methods than a set of applicable principles. All aspects contribute to highlighting the importance of an pedagogical approach that focuses on discovering the unique potential of each student. With meticulous precision, and drawing on decades of experience, Fischert draws our attention to the varying perceptions of students’ learning abilities and to an approach that respects their individuality. A clear and comprehensive understanding of students allows us to promote their individual development.
