Description
Walking with Our Children: The Parent as Companion and Guide
compiles seven years of parenting wisdom by veteran early childhood
educator Nancy Blanning. In this series of simply stated articles, she offers
practical and enjoyable ways to approach parenthood with courage and a
sense of freedom. As we lead our children along the path, we may become
reluctant to step aside. We may fear to lose our way or slow down. We listen
to schedules, personal uncertainties, and worldly anxieties. Ms. Blanning's
insights, built on experiences with her students, children, and grandchildren,
offer profound reassurance. If we seek out moments to step aside and guide,
rather than lead, we can rediscover joy in parenting and reclaim the beauty of
the journey for ourselves and our children.
Walking with Our Children: The Parent as Companion and Guide is
the perfect balm for young families, sharing Nancy Blanning's deep devotion
to families, her perspective and capacity for careful observation as a Waldorf
teacher, and her joyful wisdom as a mother and grandmother.
Nancy Blanning has been on the faculty of the Denver Waldorf School in
Colorado since 1985, where her teaching experience includes 17 years as lead
Kindergarten teacher. Her writings and contributions to publications about
early childhood education include First Grade Readiness (WECAN 2009)
and Movement Journeys and Circle Adventures Volumes 1 and 2 with Laurie
Clark. She is the editor of Gateways Newsletter.
