How do we learn to truly see the child before us, and how do we respond in ways that support healthy development?
Using trauma as a starting point, participants will explore how challenges and disruptions can affect the whole human being—not only cognition and behaviour, but also emotional life, sensory experience, relationships, self-image, and the capacity to learn. Drawing on both anthroposophical and contemporary perspectives, we will investigate different ways of observing and understanding children and consider how these insights can inform practical and compassionate educational responses.
