Thoughts about the Rhythm Roundup Boot Camp

As the month draws to a close we are finishing up our Rhythm Roundup Boot Camp with Waldorf Essentials. It has been a hectic month with ER visits, lost dog ( who was located and brought home yesterday morning- Thanks be to Jesus), sick children and 2 birthdays. We have also had job loss as well. This was a huge amount of stress and energy drawn from our family. The Rhythm Roundup was a great reminder to stay present, stay focused and grateful through all of the hard times right now. I participated in this class live and had biweekly check-ins with Melissa and other moms doing the course. It really kept me focused and motivated to finish. I did not keep the schedule all 4 weeks as was not able to but it was a refreshing view at how much time was wasted and where we needed to cut back.



This course also opened some doors of conversation between Randy and I as I read Steiner's Kingdom of Childhood ( here is a link to free PDF). We spoke a lot about age appropriateness and different ways to teach math. It was really an opener for both of us as to WHY Steiner advocates for whole to parts teaching.

As a whole I am recommending this class. It is an affordable kick in the rear to jumpstart your family and give you the tools to transform it to where you want it to be.
