After reading this waldorf article, I've decided to reevaluate the curriculum I am using for both my boys. I still absolutely love the math curriculum I purchased and am pretty happy with the first language lessons from a well trained mind, but I've decided to hold off on reading and handwriting with Ben and to not push handwriting and spelling with Tyler right now.
The article really resonated with me in a deep way. The whole reason behind my choice to home school, is so that I can teach my boys the best way possible. I want to cultivate an undying love of learning. To facilitate creation and to help promote their budding imagination.
I am looking into supplementing their learning experience with a little bit from montesorri and a little bit from waldorf. I am excited to study and learn more as I search out the things that I feel will be best for us.
This whole process has ignited a spark from within and I really am enjoying the journey. If you have any tips/suggestions/ideas regarding montessori and waldorf, I'd love to hear them!

Thank you for sharing, its given me a lot to think about on what I'm doing with my son. He is 2 years old and I really want to homeschool him but my husband doesn't totally agree, this article might help.
