What do you do when children catch you off guard and you lose patience?

Stephanie talks about keeping wonder alive - and nourished, in children.

Stephanie demonstrates a fun way to teach your kids, finger-knitting.

Stephanie shows two ways to cast on knitting stitches: An advanced technique traditionally taught to first-grade children in Waldorf schools. And a simpler version that I often teach to parents. It’s a great way to get started quickly and jump right into knitting!

An easy method to create healthy, child development.

A simple recipe that’s delicious - and easy enough the kids can help out,

I have been working with Stephanie to move thru parenting my 13 year old twins for many years. On the wall in my office I have many of Stephanie's "words of wisdom", which I read and reread at times to regain my center and calm. My favorite on is "Hold it like a feather".If you have the opportunity to work with Stephanie, I suggest you take it.
