January 13, 2021 by waldorfkate

The spiritual child begins to make their body their home. This is the process of incarnating – coming into the body. How do we support the body’s growth and wellbeing during these early days and years? Two things are important: rhythm and warmth. In this article I will focus on warmth. It is most important […]

Connecting

January 7, 2021 by waldorfkate

From the beginning (and probably even before conception) you have a relationship with your child and the most healthy relationships are those that are RECIPROCAL.

When you are pregnant you stand on the threshold between the earthly and spiritual worlds. You are the doorway for a new soul to enter earthly life. A ceremony to bless the mother can help and support this rite of passage, usually a circle of women who will stand with and around you and the […]

Calm mum calm baby

December 23, 2015 by waldorfkate

How can we help our babies be calm and content? How can we create the best environment for them to flourish? One way is to begin with ourselves as parents or carers.

Thoughts on touch

November 21, 2015 by waldorfkate

I have been thinking about the role of touch in our lives. Rereading Emmi Pikler, I have been struck once again how the newborn infant is welcomed into the world by hands. Hands that hold him, care for him, love him. What a world we hold in the palm of our hands! Do we touch […]
