Our Attitude – Providing Grounding

Educators carry their person as their most important “instrument of education.” This key position requires an ongoing engagement with oneself – with one’s own feelings, patterns, expectations, and attitudes. Since every child is unique and every situation is different, there can be no universally valid instructions for action. The challenge for educators is to encounter the child as person. An upbringing that is primarily guided by the question of “what should be done with the child” rests instead on a mindset of feasibility and control.
