How it all Began…
I am a homeschooling mom of twins, age 9. We live in a serene beach town, where homeschooling support is minimal. In fact, there are only a few families that are using Waldorf -inspired methods.
When I began my homeschooling 6 years ago, I realized I needed much more that what was available to me locally. I turned to the online Waldorf community and what a help it was! I honestly don’t think I would be homeschooling in this way, had it not been for the resources I found online. At first, it was hard to find anything much about Waldorf. But lately, a wide variety of wonderful materials has become available.
To me, it was still a challenge to figure it all out. I am a visual person that likes to “see it”. Or at least ask someone questions until it makes sense to me.
I was tired of being frustrated with thoughts like- “Am I doing this right?” “Should I be doing more? “How can I make this balance with my life?”
As homeschooling parents we make some very important decisions about our child’s education and lifestyle. How could I make all this fit ? I like to see all the pieces of the puzzle before I put it together.
That’s why The Waldorf Connection was created. A venue to ask questions, get step-by-step instructions and put the pieces all together.
Today…
I have come a long way since I first started learning about Waldorf Education. The confidence that I have gained from all these wonderful resources is priceless to me. It has enabled me to move forward with whatever grade I am bringing to my children. I know that I am on the right path for me and my family and I don’t have to walk this path alone! And neither do you…Join me on this journey of balance. Learn from others and bring some confidence, community and clarity to your life.
