If you want the arrow to go forward, you have to pull the bow backward. Another image would be like a caterpillar who turns into a beautiful butterfly. We cannot take the caterpillar and pull its wings out. We have to let the caterpillar take its time and spin a cocoon and then gradually awaken as a butterfly that can fly freely in the sun.
The education of the child is very similar. If we are respectful of the laws of child development, then we begin the child more slowly as if in a cocoon so that it can experience all the moments of early childhood and then gradually begins to grow free and spreads its wings as an individual ready to meet the modern world.

To prepare the first teachers for the original Waldorf School in 1919, Rudolf Steiner gave them an intensive course. The contents, which laid the foundation for Waldorf Education and the work of Waldorf teachers, have formerly been published as three separate volumes: Study of Man (The Foundations of Human Experience), Practical Advice to Teachers, and Discussions with Teachers.
As part of the Waldorf education centennial celebration in 2019, a new one-volume edition of the three parts of the course in their chronological order has been published in German. The English edition is now available to guide and inspire the preparation and development of Waldorf teachers around the world who seek to study and deepen their understanding of the human beings they care for in both educational and therapeutic contexts.
