Foundation of learning with ease… Based on the sensory and motor development of the first 7 years Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers

Goals of 7+ year old *Spatial Orientation- *Dominance *Body Geography Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers

These 3 Capacities allow child to: *Sit comfortably & still *Listen to a series of instructions *Follow through on instructions *Hold pencil comfortably *Perform practical activities (dressing, grooming) Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers

These capacities develop with the help of the senses Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers

Steiner’s 12 Senses Touch=tactile--gives one a sense of one’s own boundaries in relation to environment, including others Life=organic well-being--digestion, circulation, breathing Self-movement=proprioception--fine & gross motor development, gauging amount of effort needed for a task Balance/equilibrium=vestibular--static (vs dynamic) balance- >internal awareness of 3D, independent of gravity, freeing of arms & hands for tasks out of gravity, postural security Smell=olfactory Taste=gustatory Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers

Steiner’s 12 Senses Sight=vision Warmth=temperature Hearing=auditory Language=word, speech—recognition of language sounds, grammatical structure Concept=thought of the other person as conveyed through speech or text Ego=self of other person—an awareness that others have feelings, thoughts, ambitions, actions like one’s own Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers

First Four Senses relate one to one’s own body and are the foundation for development of the “higher”=social senses Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers

Sense of Touch foundation for experiencing the self of the other person (necessary for developing empathy) Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers gentle firmness when touching and in approach to child (“no” is always a “no”); clear boundaries; cocoon wrap; pressure massage

Sense of Life foundation for sense of concept/thought of other person (necessary for grasping what others are saying/ explaining verbally or via text) Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers rhythm, time, harmony, sleep, nutritional foods (incl. Healthy fats necessary for development of myelin sheath around nerves)

Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers

Sense of Movement foundational for development of sense of language/speech (necessary for grasping grammar, spelling, sentence structure, etc) Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers fine & gross movements that challenge child to develop next level of ability- -in daily tasks at home, in garden, shop (incl. crafts, play, exercise using bean bags/balls/rods)

Sense of Balance foundation for development of hearing/auditory processing (needed for connecting speech sounds with letters, hearing the difference between speech sounds, being able to follow a series of instructions.) Online Conference for Waldorf-inspired Homeschoolers stand still feet together & on one foot (eyes closed, too); head upside-down, slow rolls, slow walk forward & back on beam/line—static balance means balance in stillness (or slow moving)
