THEME MODULE
Practical life
Length: 36 lessons // Price: from 99 EUR/USD
Practical life exercises are a very important foundation for the development of the child. The child observes everything that we do as adults in the environment and gains knowledge through the real experience of how to accomplish life skills in a purposeful way. These skills, when taught early in life, allow children to believe in themselves, give them a sense of being and belonging and develop self-discipline needed for success throughout their lives.
The practical life activities are usually divided into four areas:
- caring for the self (getting dressed, undressed, washing up, brushing teeth or hair…),
- caring for the environment (cleaning, mopping, polishing, care for plants or animals…),
- movement of objects (pouring, movement activities, art activities…) and
- grace & courtesy (greeting, apologizing, accepting an apology, offering help, …).
"Child seeks for independence by means of work, an independence of body and mind."
