City of Toy Falls to Plastic Horse--At What Level Can the Steiner Approach to Education Contribute to the Current Debate on the Early Years?
Masters, Brien
Early Child Development and Care, v161 p1-13 Apr 2000
Uses a Steinerian perspective to examine recent trends in educational policy and practices in Great Britain. Discusses aspects of Steiner's approach that support children's development: reality, respect, rhythm, and morality. Maintains that the toy represents elements of early child development that are unique to that period and form the basis for qualities that will surface in adulthood. (KB)
