Bringing Joy Back to Childhood with Waldorf Education - Special Guest Emily Merchant (Episode 23)

We talk a lot about living more joyfully as adults on the

Joyful Living Podcast

, but what about helping our children lean into joy also? One of the major aspects that drew me into loving Waldorf Education was how it creates the perfect environment for children to lean into the joy of childhood and the joy of learning.

Regardless of whether you love this educational philosophy, have never heard of it, plan on using it (or not),

this episode is packed with so many powerful principles and proven strategies to support creating more joy in your home and family

.

Our special guest for this awesome episode is Emily Merchant, Executive Director for

Wasatch Charter School

, the first public Waldorf-methods school to open in Utah.
