Navigating the Postqualitative, New Materialist and Critical Posthumanist Terrain Across Disciplines is an accessible introductory guide to theories, paradigm shifts and key concepts in postqualitative, new materialist and critical posthumanist research. Supported by its own website, this first book in a larger series is an essential companion to the primary texts and original sources of the theorists discussed in this and other books in the series. Disrupting the theory/practice divide, the book offers a postqualitative reimagining of traditional research processes. In doing so, it guides readers through the contestation of binaries, innovative concepts, and the practical provocations that make up the postqualitative terrain. It orients the researcher in the ontological re-turn also by considering Indigenous knowledges, African, Eastern and young children’s philosophies. The style itself is postqualitative through diffractive engagements by the authors and the website includes some examples of the practical provocations described in the book that give an imaginary of how postqualitative research can be taught and enacted. This book is an essential resource for novice as well as experienced researchers working both within and across disciplines in higher education.

The first book in America to popularize the insights of Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Waldorf schools, regarding the developmental needs of young children, this revised and updated edition offers new ways for parents and educators to enrich the lives of children from birth to age six. Today’s society often pressures us into overstimulating young children with flashcards, workbooks, videos, and electronic gadgets in a well-meaning attempt to give them a head start. But children are not little adults—they learn and grow in radically different ways at different ages, and what we do to help could actually hurt instead. Some of the most important learning years happen before your child reaches school. In You Are Your Child’s First Teacher, respected Waldorf educator Rahima Baldwin Dancy explains the different stages of learning that children go through from birth to age six, giving you the wisdom and understanding to enrich your child’s natural development in the right way at the right time. A trusted classic for over twenty years, this newly revised edition contains updated resources and additional information on discipline, early childhood programs, toilet training, using home life as curriculum, and more. From language and cognitive development to appropriate toys and nourishing your child’s artistic abilities, Dancy speaks up for a rational approach to child-rearing, one that helps children be children while we fulfill our important role as parents and first teachers.

In the intricate tapestry of human experience, the word "family" can evoke a multitude of emotions. For some, it's a source of warmth, love, and support, while for others, it can be a wellspring of pain, distress, and trauma. When you come from a toxic family environment, the emotions stirred by the mere mention of "family" transcend mere annoyance or frustration; they cut deep, leaving scars that can last a lifetime. Toxic or dysfunctional family dynamics often hide in plain sight, making them challenging to identify, especially when you are still immersed in them. This book delves into the shadows of family life, shedding light on the covert and overt toxic patterns that can profoundly affect a child's growth. These patterns not only shape the way you perceive yourself and others but can also lead to Complex Trauma or Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that resonates throughout your adult life. Throughout these pages, we will explore the various toxic family dynamics, from emotionally numb or depressed parents to domineering figures, enmeshment, the burden of assuming grown-up responsibilities prematurely, dealing with parental jealousy, and being unfairly singled out as the troublemaker. We will dissect each of these patterns, unraveling the intricate web they weave and the lasting impact they can have. The goal of this book is to offer insight, understanding, and, most importantly, a path towards healing. By recognizing the toxic family dynamics that may have shaped your early years, you can begin the journey towards breaking free from their grip and forging healthier relationships in adulthood. Through knowledge and self-awareness, you can reclaim your narrative, heal from childhood trauma, and build a more resilient, fulfilling future. So, let us embark on this journey together, as we navigate the treacherous terrain of Toxic Family Dynamics and Childhood Trauma, seeking not only to understand but to heal and thrive.

6 lectures and an essay, 1919-1920 (CW 297) World War I destroyed the structures, values, and self-confidence that created the seeming greatness of the nineteenth century. In its place stood ruins and the shards of a civilization. In response to this, Emil Molt--the director of the Waldorf-Astoria Cigarette Factory and a student of Rudolf Steiner--decided to establish a school to educate people who could create a new culture. Thus, the Waldorf school movement was begun. Rudolf Steiner agreed to act as the school's consultant, and his insights guided the school in accomplishing this ambitious task. The goal of this education was that, through living inner work guided by the insights of Rudolf Steiner, the teachers would develop in the children such power of thought, depth of feeling, and strength of will that they would emerge from their school years as full members of the human community, able to meet and transform the world. These lectures occurred around the opening of the first Waldorf school. They serve as an excellent, inspiring introduction to Waldorf education as a whole. Here Steiner outlines--with freshness, immediacy, and excitement--the goals and intentions of a new form of education and speaks to parents of prospective students. He explains the school's guiding principles and describes how parents must participate, with understanding and interest, in the awakening of their children's creative forces so that a healthier society can come about.
