From a Neuroscientific Perspective Until MRIs and other sophisticated measures of the brain were developed, there was no way to prove or disprove any of Steiner’s theories, not with the kind of precision and accuracy available now. An overwhelming body of evidence from the last 20 years of neuroscientific inquiry supports Steiner’s theories, including some of the most fundamental foci of Waldorf Education.

Social Toddler offers local event and activity listings, parenting advice from industry experts, and a social networking platform where parents can find playgroups, plan playdates and meet other moms and dads in their area.

AND
Need help clearing out clutter before the holidays?
The holidays are coming up and that means guests are coming over to celebrate! Are you starting to worry that you won’t be able to entertain because there’s no room for your guests? Has your junk drawer outgrown the drawer and taken over your kitchen? Are you totally unable to eat in your dining room because there’s clutter all over the table? Is your living room the catch-all room for toys, books, papers, and everything else? Or, do you stock up on holiday stuff year-round…and never seem to shed everything even after presents are exchanged? Are you running out of room for wrapping and ribbons; do you have more “emergency gifts” of frames and candles than you can ever realistically use; is your guest bed unusable because so much holiday stuff is on it? If you’ve got too much stuff and it’s taking over your house, email rsoldinger@kingworld.com with your name, age, phone number, and location as soon as possible!
