The 'Rubicon' -- sometimes called the watershed or crossing point -- is usually associated with the transition children go through around the age of nine, as they feel themselves start to grow apart from the world.This book addresses both that classic Rubicon, and the other thresholds that children experience between the ages of seven and twelve. The change of teeth at seven, the shift in independent consciousness at nine, and the advance of puberty at twelve, are all covered in this comprehensive collection of Steiner's insights.This is a useful resource for both parents and teachers who seek to better understand the children in their care.

There are seven life processes identified in anthroposophical human physiology which affect physical organ function and life forces: breathing, producing warmth, nourishment, secretion, preservation, growth and production/reproduction. They form the foundation for healthy development, understanding one's own capacities, and age-appropriate learning.This book considers these seven processes in relation to the developing child. It examines how play and learning are connected to the life processes and how adults can support children's physical organ functions so that they can develop in a healthy way and learn with ease.The book is full of important educational considerations and will be of significant value to teachers, educators, parents and caregivers.
