Waldorf education finds itself catapulted from its humble beginnings 76 years ago into the midst of the central educational and social issues of this decade. What draws parents and educators toward Waldorf education today? Waldorf Education - A Family Guide offers a “first look” for parents and educators into the history, philosophy, curriculum, and traditions of this unique education. This comprehensive book is a collection of articles describing the world of Waldorf Education - the fastest growing independent school movement in the world.

Between Form and Freedom has a wealth of helpful insights about teenagers, offering a wise look into the souls of children and adolescents. Betty Staley invites you to explore the vibrant nature of adolescence - the search for the self, the birth of the intellect, the release of feeling, male-female differences and character.

Teenagers’ growth needs are explored in relation to family, friends, the media, education, the arts and love. Issues around stress, depression, eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse are tackled, clarifying the options.

The Eliums show us the diference between the service-oriented environment of work, where energy is focused on a single goal, and the care-oriented environment at home, where multiple issues need attention.

This book is a concise summary of the reults of orthodox medical research into vaccines and their effects. It aims to inform medical professionals, parents of small children and the general public about short and long-term dangerous side-effects, including brain damage and death, of vaccines; of the ineffectiveness of vaccines in preventing infectious diseases as shown by epidemics if fully vaccinated populations; and the casual link between DPT and polio vaccines and cot death.

Is vaccination the guaranteed disease prevention that is promised, or are there possible hidden risks that parents are not being educated about?

This book and Maureen its author are not promoting that there be no vaccination, but it does urge that people should be given the facts about the risks of such procedures before the event.

What Medical authorities don’t want you to know about:

• Vaccine deaths and complications
• Medical lies, cover-ups and propaganda
• The contaminated Polio vaccines with cancer causing virus
• Medical Scientists who condemn vaccinations
• Measles and Whopping Cough outbreaks amongst vaccinated children
• The failure of the Rubella and Tuberculosis vaccination campaigns
• The dangers and ineffectiveness of the Flu vaccinations
• The link between Cot Deaths (SIDS) and DPT vaccine
• Evidence that Smallpox vaccine triggered the AIDS explosion
• Doctors who are afraid to vaccinate themselves or their children
• The commercial motives behind vaccination

With a special chapter on ‘Health - The Only Immunity’

Every Kid gives an overview of the development of five to twelve years old, the nature of family life and the pressures on children and parents. It covers in detail ways of managing children’s behaviour and of understanding and influencing their emotions and relationships. Most of the common as well as the more difficult problems encountered in this age group are explored and strategies and solutions discussed, including how to avoid traps such as arguing and inconsistency.
