Our Five Puberties; Notes on Child Development, Type and Temperament

Short booklet of 6,300 words plus a few diagrams. Notes on children, type and temperament, informed by Waldorf-methods, the Three Selves, Internal Family Systems and Holistic Brain Balance.
Every individual who progresses to thinking for themself, gets there by way of completing five "puberties." Completing all five "puberties" is a major developmental accomplishment. Unfinished and incomplete puberties comprise a large fraction of our burdened parts and unfinished business.

In human development, independent thinking is the variable to track, not sexual maturation. Discerning sexual maturity is child's play compared to discerning when and how children progress to thinking for themselves by the end of high school.

Growing new eyes to see children afresh is the goal of this booklet. Some Waldorf education ideas are summarized in clear language converged with holistic concepts from outside Waldorf.
