Kia Ora e te whānau, Hello dear friends and welcome to a re-release of a classic Holistic Human Podcast.

I have had to re-edit one of my most popular episodes where Annie and I talk about the epic stage in child development, the 9 year old change, because I was a doofus and accidentally deleted the old one along with some other files.

But actually it has turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I got to listen to it for the first time in 3 years and its been super valuable.

So this episode has been produced by Tanglewood Toys, a New Zealand based Waldorfy supply company that stock all my favorite products, from waldorf art supplies, to wooden toys, to play silks, to parenting books. Its run by Felicity and Damon who, aside from providing amazing customer service are just genuinely lovely people and in these times of world uncertainty, supporting local, small businesses is really important. Go check out their website tanglewoodtoys.co.nz or visit them on Instagram @tanglewoodtoys.

So in this episode Annie and I will be discussing…..

• The fourfold human being (feel free to check out my tiktok vid https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSddQ7tWk/?k=1 or youtube clip explaining it in more detail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zVmKIy62vQ)
• What happens at a consciousness level during the 9 year old change
• How the Waldorf curriculum meets the child
• Practicalities on how to plan your main lessons and such throughout the year
• Why using Steiner’s lectures are an important starting point, and then using premade curriculum resources to supplement your original lessons.
