As long as the education of children nourishes people's hearts, seeks the value orientation, and meets people's special needs for different cultural traditions and humanistic spirit, then this kind of education will continue to develop in the world.
First of all, Waldorf education nourishes people's minds and seeks all-round development, including physical, sensory, intellectual and spiritual development. Pay attention to healthy body, sensitive emotion, social activity ability, rich imagination and intellectual development at the same time in education, because they are all interrelated and interdependent. I want to point out here that the uniqueness of Waldorf education lies not only in emphasizing the all-round development of people, but also in cultivating the relationship between people, helping children find meaningful ambitions and ideals, and persistently pursuing truth, goodness and beauty.
Secondly, if we want to fully and comprehensively develop these abilities, the educational concept must be firmly based on a thorough understanding of human development. Waldorf education's understanding of people, for example, in early childhood, if children have reliable adults to play with and get thoughtful life care and healthy physical activities, is not only conducive to the healthy growth of children, but also very important for the future development of imagination, creativity and thinking ability. Letting children learn abstract and academic things too early will only seriously affect the development of children's true creative spirit and their ability to form concepts in the future. Waldorf education's unique understanding of people has been affirmed by many educational research institutions and authoritative experts in child development psychology.
Thirdly, Waldorf education thinks that artistic and aesthetic experience is very important for the all-round development of people in primary school. In primary school, children's creativity, thinking ability and their enthusiasm for life are fully developed by aesthetic experience. Therefore, Waldorf education attaches great importance to art education, such as language, foreign languages, drama, storytelling, fairy tales, singing, painting, playing musical instruments, rhythmic dance games, handicrafts, gardening and agriculture. A beautiful and quiet classroom environment is also an important factor in art and aesthetics. In the process of education, it is one of the important contents of Waldorf education to arrange a class rhythmically throughout the year and study and live rhythmically and regularly.
Fourthly, I also want to emphasize here that in Waldorf education, teachers, parents and relevant adults are constantly self-educating and developing themselves in the whole process of children's education. Because Waldorf education has no fixed methods, skills and academic structure, but requires teachers and parents to constantly cultivate people's abilities of self-confidence, caring and exploring truth in the process of education, which objectively requires teachers and parents to cooperate closely in the same direction.
Finally, add your own experience. Waldorf education is a specious view at first glance. If you pay attention to it, you will find that it is actually the core of Waldorf education, that is, it has universality and particularity. In other words, Waldorf education respects the humanistic values of all human beings, and aims at the development of human personality and its culture and tradition, thus cultivating everyone's unique personality.
