Nature visit to Obuleshwara mountain near Chinthaparthi
From Paripoornam pedagogy:
The confidence of children is built with challenges. But the challenge should be from small to big. If you challenge a child with an impossible task then it will shatter the child’s confidence.
Note: These children have been taken to different hills and mountains every Saturday. We started with small and slowly built it up.
Waldorf philosophy concept behind this activity:
Mountain climbing like this involves a sense of movement and sense of balance. Which Rudalf Steiner calls it as lower senses.
Movement is linked to speech and linguistic skills and a sense of balance is important for hearing and listening skills.
