Daily rhythm

Children are carried along by the rhythms of the world they live in from the steady pace of breathing in and out to the daily routines of waking, eating, and sleeping.

“Aliveness in the teacher must pass over aliveness in the children. Joy and happiness in living, a love of exsistance, a power and energy for work, such are among the lifelong results of a right cultivation of the feeling for beauty and for art.” Rudolf Steiner

Just as the children are carried along by the rhythm of the school day, they are also supported by established routines.

I strongly encourage parents to eliminate and/or limit television viewing before bedtime and never in the morning before school, as young children are not able to digest these images. Television before bedtime is very disturbing for a child’s dream life and sleep.
