The “I wonder” response regarding undesirable toys has helped me so much! My daughter and I live in a tinyhouse, so in addition to our Waldorf inclinations, space is a great consideration - not merely what we can cram into our loft, but what feels comfortable, still leaving an open enough space to create an invitation to play. Through my downsizing (and eliminating plastic toys!) I had so much guilt and overthinking regarding how my daughter would react… but honestly, I notice a direct correlation: the more toys I remove, the more her quality of play increases. With few and simple toys, she plays so much more creatively, with much less complaint of boredom or asking for screen time (which has also been severely whittled down). And Sarah’s “I wonder” line has worked like a charm the few times it’s been needed. There has never been a meltdown over any of the disappearing toys. She is actually vocal about how she prefers the uncluttered space to play! We are now basically down to her books, PlanToys dollhouse, a large block set and train set, and two cube-organiser buckets of smaller toys (dolls, music, wooden and die cast vehicles, etc) plus the play kitchen and art supplies downstairs. That’s most all she has, and the less she has (toys and screens) the better she plays. Now I’ve added a disc swing in our oak tree to nudge her out of doors more often! 😉
My 11 month old is already helping me unload dish washer and hands me laundry from the hamper to fold. I though the idea was silly at first, but when he came over to “interrupt” my chores for attention, I changed my perspective and saw it as a willingness to help.
Peaceful Play In my opinion, kids could also get toys at other times if they have been very good and good kids all the time. If there is any kind of trip or Disneyland going, then I think the kids should get something out there because the things they bought from the trips are still very valuable souvenirs that are not sold in shops, and every thing that is bought, will be remembered for their wonderful trips. I highly recommend that you let the children choose what they like very much, their biggest dream and buy it. children may not like them at all.Purchase only the things that they really wanted and make them really happy.Sometimes they could rarely allow children to have the toys they deserve with their great nobility.If children are still very good, then, very rarely, they could just as well afford more expensive things. Very expensive things, then for the holidays. I advise against banning things that children really like, because then they start plans to just want more.I advise not to buy all the time, but sometimes very rarely still be able to afford something if they have been very good children for a long time.I certainly also recommend that you let the children choose from online stores, because there are just so many rare, popular, exciting, cakey, and sweet things that may not be available in stores. Hello there! Dear parents! Every child has the right to keep all the toys because they are valuable! If you have space, let them keep everything in their childhood! Keep the toys, if the kids like them very much!!! Could you please forward these messages to the other people and parents too,because it is very important for all of us that every single kid can get the best childhood ever and their dreams should also come true and they will be very happy then!!!It will teach all the parents,how to give the best childhood for their children!!!This is the best lesson for all the parents!!!Thank You!
@@astraviil3043 I disagree as I tend to favor science... I honestly like all different styles of Education, variety is great because there's so many different types of kids. The best thing to do is pick learning / play environment style that works best for your child as an individual. Let's not assume any others style works best, or enforce that on others. Interesting teaching style though it's a nice opinion I hope you can implement it with Success With Children it works well for!

It's a pleasure to watch and listen to you Sarah... I'm from Bombay, India and soon embarking on my own exciting journey beginning with enrolling my children in a Waldorf school and myself training to be a Waldorf teacher... I'm so looking looking forward to everything ahead... Thanks for being part of and enriching the path I've chosen...
@@useramom-k2v Hello! There are various places - it also depends on whether you are looking for kindergarten or grades, handwork or subject-specific, etc etc.. to begin with, i strongly recommend Ira Teacher Training... Look it up on the internet and let me know if you require more details...
I posted a registry on my fb of all wooden toys and stressed that i want to teach my child the value of fair trade, natural toys. Buying a whole lot of wooden animals is expensive but if everyone buys one my son will have a little zoo by the time he's 1!

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of months now, and they’re so informative! Also, your voice is so soothing, and you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
Hi, I was an actress. After receiving my Bachler degree in acting in Turkey(Istanbul), I worked on the stage and I also teach drama to children age between 5 to18. I worked in Turkey 4 years and then I decided to learn English and I came to Canada 3 years ago. For so many reasons, I ended up to live here in Toronto and now I am taking Early Childhood Education program for 2 year in Toronto at George Brown College. Last week, I was studying for my curriculum class and I learned different curriculum approach and my favorite is the Woldaorf education. I found you when I was trying to get more information about the Waldorf . Because of my theatre experiences this approach, I believe Waldorf approach is the good way to teach something to children's in a aesthetic way. My questions are: Can you use your acting experiences into class with the children and also "Do you miss your acting career"? Thanks in advance..
First I took a picture of my child with the unwanted toy for the gift giver. I put the picture and gift in a box for when the giver came over. Second I let my family know the gift my child wanted and invited friends and family to contribute financially.

Oh no you can definitely have Waldorf School all the waldorf through High School! It's just harder to find schools that have it threw highschool! It is effective on all students but has been proven to be extremely effective on very young students and paying for extra schooling can be expensive especially with Waldorf so a lot of people opt to just send their younger kids!
Hello Sarah! I just love your videos!!! Thank you so much for sharing all your stories and songs. As a recent Waldorf English teacher in a Waldorf school in France, I truly treasure your content! Any trip planned in Europe soon? :)
I personally do not like the idea of pretending to not know where the toys went if a child asks. My mom would sell some of my birthday gifts I opened as a child. I felt crazy because I remembered that I had received them, but then everyone around me acted clueless to where they had gone. My gifts kept disappearing... and I didn't know why or how. That could be a confusing, frustrating experience for other children, as it was for me.
I have different size popcycle sticks and buttons in a sorting tray I took a recycled pasta jar and put a slot on top. I tuck this away My 1 1/2 year old loves this activity immensely so if I need a shower or time to do something I can, just one example of something to keep them busy. ❤ great for fine motor skills I now have numbers on the sticks she can already count to 10 so I have added numbers up to 20

As a grandparent with limited means, I appreciate the craft type gifts Bella Luna sells. My daughter has 4 children and the wooden egg painting kit has enough eggs to go around : ) My grandchildren (now school age) appreciate getting postcards or simple greetings by mail from grandma. They live far away & it takes some consistent 'doing' to let them know I'm thinking of them even though we are miles apart.

We just live a lifestyle of non possession, "freeganism" and ",minimalism" too. So most of the things we have are temporarily "ours" to use and to pass along. So it wont be unusual for a toy to come in one day and leave the next. Its not a lack of valueing the item but a deeper sense of appreciation because of the value of sharing. We have certain things we are more attatched to for different reasons and thats okay, we may hang onto them longer as they seeve their purpose, and we can keep certain things to pass down in the immediate family if they hold that importance to us, but we like to keep the cycle of "stuff" moving. We get to experience lifes abundance that way. The things that serve their purpose and have their place are the only things we need until we dont anymore. If someone gives us a thing we didnt ask for, we discuss the reasoning behind our decision with what to do with it and collaborate on our decision taking into consideration our understood and agreed upon values.
Another thing you can do if you have a baby Registry before baby is born put Natural items that set the mood/tone of your style this way maybe some people will get a hint that you are into more Natural items

That’s most all she has, and the less she has (toys and screens) the better she plays. Now I’ve added a disc swing in our oak tree to nudge her out of doors more often! 😉

If children are still very good, then, very rarely, they could just as well afford more expensive things. Very expensive things, then for the holidays.
I advise against banning things that children really like, because then they start plans to just want more. I advise not to buy all the time, but sometimes very rarely still be able to afford something if they have been very good children for a long time. I certainly also recommend that you let the children choose from online stores, because there are just so many rare, popular, exciting, cakey, and sweet things that may not be available in stores.
Every child has the right to keep all the toys because they are valuable! If you have space, let them keep everything in their childhood! Keep the toys, if the kids like them very much!!!
Could you please forward these messages to the other people and parents too, because it is very important for all of us that every single kid can get the best childhood ever and their dreams should also come true and they will be very happy then!!! It will teach all the parents, how to give the best childhood for their children!!! This is the best lesson for all the parents!!!
Thank You!

It's a pleasure to watch and listen to you Sarah... I'm from Bombay, India and soon embarking on my own exciting journey beginning with enrolling my children in a Waldorf school and myself training to be a Waldorf teacher... I'm so looking looking forward to everything ahead... Thanks for being part of and enriching the path I've chosen...
Stands Prius,would love to connect with you
Hi, I'm from India too. Can you please let me know where are you taking the training from ?
@@useramom-k2v Hello! There are various places - it also depends on whether you are looking for kindergarten or grades, handwork or subject-specific, etc etc.. to begin with, i strongly recommend Ira Teacher Training... Look it up on the internet and let me know if you require more details...
@@suryaaselvaraj yes please do
I posted a registry on my fb of all wooden toys and stressed that i want to teach my child the value of fair trade, natural toys. Buying a whole lot of wooden animals is expensive but if everyone buys one my son will have a little zoo by the time he's 1!
kate ashley In my opinion, kids could also get toys at other times if they have been very good and good kids all the time. If there is any kind of trip or Disneyland going, then I think the kids should get something out there because the things they bought from the trips are still very valuable souvenirs that are not sold in shops, and every thing that is bought, will be remembered for their wonderful trips.

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of months now, and they’re so informative! Also, your voice is so soothing, and you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
Hi, I was an actress. After receiving my Bachler degree in acting in Turkey(Istanbul), I worked on the stage and I also teach drama to children age between 5 to18. I worked in Turkey 4 years and then I decided to learn English and I came to Canada 3 years ago. For so many reasons, I ended up to live here in Toronto and now I am taking Early Childhood Education program for 2 year in Toronto at George Brown College. Last week, I was studying for my curriculum class and I learned different curriculum approach and my favorite is the Woldaorf education. I found you when I was trying to get more information about the Waldorf . Because of my theatre experiences this approach, I believe Waldorf approach is the good way to teach something to children's in a aesthetic way. My questions are: Can you use your acting experiences into class with the children and also "Do you miss your acting career"? Thanks in advance..
Your voice is so calm! I love it!
First I took a picture of my child with the unwanted toy for the gift giver. I put the picture and gift in a box for when the giver came over. Second I let my family know the gift my child wanted and invited friends and family to contribute financially.

It's been my understanding that this style.of education was mostly meant for younger students. ..but in the video you mentioned training is available for the older grades. I'm very interested in learning more about this. Thank you!

Oh no you can definitely have Waldorf School all the waldorf through High School! It's just harder to find schools that have it threw highschool! It is effective on all students but has been proven to be extremely effective on very young students and paying for extra schooling can be expensive especially with Waldorf so a lot of people opt to just send their younger kids!
Hello Sarah! I just love your videos!!! Thank you so much for sharing all your stories and songs. As a recent Waldorf English teacher in a Waldorf school in France, I truly treasure your content! Any trip planned in Europe soon? :)
I personally do not like the idea of pretending to not know where the toys went if a child asks. My mom would sell some of my birthday gifts I opened as a child. I felt crazy because I remembered that I had received them, but then everyone around me acted clueless to where they had gone. My gifts kept disappearing... and I didn't know why or how. That could be a confusing, frustrating experience for other children, as it was for me.
Agreed. We take the toys to grandma’s house. That way they still have them and can play with them, but it’s very limited.
I have different size popcycle sticks and buttons in a sorting tray I took a recycled pasta jar and put a slot on top. I tuck this away My 1 1/2 year old loves this activity immensely so if I need a shower or time to do something I can, just one example of something to keep them busy. ❤ great for fine motor skills I now have numbers on the sticks she can already count to 10 so I have added numbers up to 20

You’re soul is so beautiful…I love watching and listening to your videos. Much love 💗🧚♀️
As a grandparent with limited means, I appreciate the craft type gifts Bella Luna sells. My daughter has 4 children and the wooden egg painting kit has enough eggs to go around : ) My grandchildren (now school age) appreciate getting postcards or simple greetings by mail from grandma. They live far away & it takes some consistent 'doing' to let them know I'm thinking of them even though we are miles apart.

I appreciate your sharing a lot. I can resonate to your journey with Waldorf. I wish to learn more about it.
We just live a lifestyle of non possession, "freeganism" and ",minimalism" too. So most of the things we have are temporarily "ours" to use and to pass along. So it wont be unusual for a toy to come in one day and leave the next. Its not a lack of valueing the item but a deeper sense of appreciation because of the value of sharing. We have certain things we are more attatched to for different reasons and thats okay, we may hang onto them longer as they seeve their purpose, and we can keep certain things to pass down in the immediate family if they hold that importance to us, but we like to keep the cycle of "stuff" moving. We get to experience lifes abundance that way. The things that serve their purpose and have their place are the only things we need until we dont anymore. If someone gives us a thing we didnt ask for, we discuss the reasoning behind our decision with what to do with it and collaborate on our decision taking into consideration our understood and agreed upon values.
Another thing you can do if you have a baby Registry before baby is born put Natural items that set the mood/tone of your style this way maybe some people will get a hint that you are into more Natural items
Thank you
Plastic toys could become bath toys or animals to play with in the dirt or sandbox. Before they find a new home.
Love your ideas. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Such a valuable resource xo

I would just rather not get gifts for my kid at this point. My daughter is not even a year yet and i just donated a trash bag full of toys.

You could return the plastic toys and use the money to buy a wooden toy
Always keep not even the child, but the human doing use full things.
Why would you lie to you child about getting rid of their toys?
i wonder would be lieing im for innocence but the lies not so much
