Why I've created this blog

Long before I gave birth to my 4 1/2 year old son Shepard I had begun educating myself about child development and education styles. I read books like The Continuum Concept, How Children Learn, and Dumbing us Down (these three classics still hold a place in my bookshelf). The information I learned from these invaluable books made it more and more clear how important choosing the right education for my child would be.
We had chosen to home school Shepard (and any other children we might have), planning to use a Waldorf/Unschooling approach to his learning. But, have also recently become open to the option of Shepard attending a private Waldorf school in our area.

We have only just begun, and have much to learn and experience through this journey into Educating our son using the Waldorf style.

I am planning to educate myself thoroughly on Waldorf Education (I already know a bit, but know there is so much more to learn!)

I plan to begin Home Schooling Shepard this fall. So, I am learning a lot to ready myself for this journey.
