WITH ANJUM MIR
In our time, a child’s self-perception and relationship with others is increasingly impacted by the influences, messages, and pressures of the world outside of home. Sometimes, without knowing it, we relinquish the tender task of parenting to these other forces and spend our time trying to bring our children back to themselves. A strong family culture can be a valuable partner in our parenting task. It can be a beacon for a child’s growing moral compass, a secure container for their growing sense of self and their burgeoning emotional life, and a fertile foundation that nurtures their sense of purpose. Explore ways to consciously build and nurture a family culture that can be a wellspring for your growing child.
For over 20 years, Anjum Mir has supported parents in establishing healthy home rhythms as a parent and child teacher and educational consultant. Her teaching experience has taken her from public and private schools to Waldorf Education, which she discovered while looking for an educational system that honored the development and spiritual well-being of her first child. A mother of four, she is currently School Co-coordinator at Westside Waldorf School in Los Angeles. She is on the board of WECAN and several other education-focused organizations and is involved in teacher education and training.
