Nourish Your Child's Early Years & Get Practical Ideas to Enhance, Inspire & Simplify Your Child's World

Something big is happening in the parenting world. An awareness is awakening and we now realize that early childhood is the most important time in our child's lives. It's not about how much we can stimulate their minds and early academics.

It's about nourishing, simplifying and allowing time for their gifts to unfold in a natural way. It's about holding the space for them to play, develop and create with a deep connection to life.

And we are discovering as moms to a young child, we are journeying and learning right alongside them. We, too must embrace this slower-paced, soulful lifestyle to create the ideal environment for our child and ourselves.

We must have the confidence to trust our decisions and know we are on the right path for our family. We need to exhale nourishment, love & support to guide our child through those early developmental stages.

How do we do all that?

You can apply simple, effective techniques to your daily rhythms to give your child what he needs.

"If young children have been able in their play to give up their whole loving beings to the world around them, they will be able in later life to devote themselves with confidence and power to the service of the world." — Rudolf Steiner

Are you ready? Ready to bring the practical into the magical world of early childhood so you can increase your confidence while decreasing your stress and surround your child with love? Perhaps without some help, you may be creating a hectic, stressed environment that can hold your child back.

If you said YES! I'd love to take you under my wing and guide you through this program to enhance the early years. I found the magic formula for helping moms like you understand and implement the magical Waldorf principles.

Since using these techniques and simple tools, my level of confidence has increased dramatically. I now know I am on the right path for me and my family. I feel grounded in my rhythms and my ability to learn and grow has increased from having these basic foundations in place.

For the moms who have weaved these ideas into their lives, they are calmer, more centered and able to enjoy these precious moments with their young child instead of feeling frazzled, overwhelmed and stressed.

We are providing the essentials so you have what you need to nourish your child that will thrive!

Signs you need to take responsibility for providing a nourishing environment for your young child seriously.

  • Your daily rhythms and routines are anything but routine. Bedtime can be a nightmare, especially as you are so exhausted at that time of day.
  • You REACT to situations instead of being mindfully in the moment with your child. This can cause major stress and anxiety for your child as well as you.
  • You want to bring warmth and love to your child to strengthen your bond and communication in a gentle way but feel overwhelmed and just trying to keep your head above water.
  • You want to stop trying to learn all this by yourself and get the support you need.
  • You question your decisions and wonder if you are doing enough or too much when it comes to creative and educational activities.

"There's no substitute for getting "live" information and feedback."

The program was very insightful, well organized, and very reaffirming! I loved the attention to detail within each topic – "no stones left unturned". The panel of experts was also very impressive. It's so helpful to get personal feedback from Waldorf experts that you truly admire. They were so generous with their time and the whole experience felt very intimate and personal. There's no substitute for getting "live" information and feedback.

"I loved hearing questions and learning from the other moms as well."

I have learned so much from the teachers Donna selects for her programs. Even though I had some direct experience with Waldorf Education, I still felt many gaps in my knowledge and understanding. What a valuable opportunity it has been to hear 'live' from some of the authors of the books I have read, and gain even more from their insights and perspectives. The replays and downloads enable me to review the materials at my convenience. the content is so rich that it is wonderful to be able to listen again and again. I loved hearing questions and learning from the other moms as well.

That's why I am so excited to bring you this powerful hands-on opportunity to acquire "tools and strategies" and nurture that place of love and strength.

A few years ago when I decided to keep my twin girls home instead of send them to preschool, I tried doing some Waldorf-inspired things, but I was piecing it together as I went. I spent so much time reading and trying to figure out the "whys" behind the concepts - I was overwhelmed and frustrated! There seemed to be so much to learn and not many ways to get the information so I could "get it" and make it work for me and my family.

"I felt I was trying to figure it out by myself."

I found that the beauty of simple, natural-inspired education is also the challenge of this method - No instruction manual!

"How I used my frustration to help thousands of families..."

Following my entrepreneurial passion, I set out to help others (and myself!) by asking the people who had the answers. By creating these seminars, workshops and programs, we all benefit from the wisdom of the teachers, experts and visionaries. Knowing how many lives are being touched in our community is my blessing. So suffice it to say, I've learned a thing or two after participating in over 60 workshops from top experts & teachers. And after running this program once before, I've had a chance to perfect the system and add additional benefits so you can get MORE amazing results.

Here are some more details about our expert teacher:

The question is, are you ready to stand tall and jump in?

If you decide to join us, here's what you'll learn:

  • The top ways to simplify your environment and schedule to de-sensitize your child and create "space"
  • Why a child's play space determines their connection to the world around them.
  • Discover strategies for involving your child in empowering ways to raise his confidence and development.
  • Ideas for smoothing daily routines (like meals and bedtime) so everyone is happy!
  • Learn about the "dreamland fairy" and how to weave this amazing tool into your child's rituals.
  • See yourself through your child eyes and how this affects our relationships and family connections.
  • How you can raise your confidence and parenting expectations through specific ideas and exercises.
  • Why uncovering sacred space for yourself could be the most important thing you do for your child.
  • Low cost ways to integrate meal plans into your repertoire.
  • What things you should always share with your partner that will build strong bonds for family connection.

Nourishing the Early Years is not a typical parenting course. I created something that combined the soulful essence of early childhood with practical, concrete tips and tools.

Here is a sneak peek into the sessions...

Session 1: Nourishing the Hearth

We will start with the basic foundation of childhood, the home and hearth.

  • Why creating and maintaining a warm and nourishing environment sets the stage for a child's early years.
  • The ONE ways to foster the child's early senses
  • How to structure your days to create security for your child. It is vital they know "what is coming next".
  • Learn why the play space can foster deep connection or shallow, distracted patterns.

This session includes:

  • recipes
  • activity songs, and verses to compliment the work of Nourishing the Hearth.

Session 2: Nourishing the Child

This is really what it is all about right? We want the best for child so they can flourish and develop into creative loving kids.

  • How to foster empowerment by involving your child in daily rhythms and routines.
  • Learn top ways to smooth transitions including bedtime and mealtimes. These are activity-specific exercises.
  • How a "dreamland" fairy can enhance your child's willingness to follow rituals and routines. This one thing can create peace!
  • Why connection to your child can be the TOP way to nourish and love. And how we achieve this.

This sessions includes:

  • recommended stories for routine struggles
  • a puppet play verse and song (to accompany the dreamland fairy's work!)
  • Also you will receive a sample daily schedule- priceless!

Session 3: Nourishing the Self

We want so much to create the perfect environment for our child, that we often end up doing the opposite because we are so overwhelmed, exhausted and stressed trying to get it "right".

  • How being reactive instead of proactive can cause extra stress and resentful feelings.
  • Learn to view yourself through your child's eyes and why this can be key to everything.
  • Why our actions affect our children in every way.
  • How to become the parent you want to be. We will give you specific ideas.
  • One way to create space to get centered and mindful. (No, it's not hours of meditation.)

This session you will get:

  • a mama-daily-checklist (ooh!)
  • a list of reading resources, meal plan and shopping list with homework!

Session 4: Nourishing Each Other

Do you feel isolated and trying to do most of this on your own? Moms need support and this session will show you the importance and how-to.

  • Why moms need support and how this affects the entire household (If mama ain't happy...)
  • Create tiny spaces for others to share themselves. And why this enhances your child's experiences.
  • How to transition during those tricky times- think bedtime.
  • Why is it important a child is exposed to community service especially cross-generational interaction (even if you don't have any family nearby).
  • Creative tips for childcare "exchange" with other parents.

This session includes:

  • a resource list of service activities
  • a guide for childcare exchange and screening potential providers.

After completing the early childhood program last year…"Little by little things are falling into place and I can see the eyes of my son opening wider for more! A simple success for us is bedtime routine...Bath on bath night (my husband works in the evening, so when he is home we bathe), candle lighting (again some nights), Nighttime verse, lights out (Snip snap snout the lights have gone out! Salt lamp on the nightstand or candle), Mama made stories and then our nighttime song. I've also used the talking in stories to displace anger and non-gentle behavior towards the baby - it's amazing how that works. I must say though it is tough taking that out of the toolbox when situations arise when your not expecting them! That's where the mama inner work is sooooo important! I appreciate all that you do for the Waldorf Homeschooling community!"

What is the cost of not having a nourishing environment?

This is a hard question to ask for most of us moms. We want to feel we are doing everything we can to bring out the best in our child. Sometimes we are just spinning our wheels and not making any progress. Or we don't know how to take the first steps to change what we are currently doing. We might not be aware of things we are doing.

Enrolling in this program gives you a coach and a cheerleader in your corner for 4 weeks! We will guide you through the sessions step-by-step, building your confidence each week. You can take the information and weave it immediately into your life to set your child up for success.

Where can you find this kind of information AND get one-on-one coaching with weekly question and answer sessions?! (from the comfort of your home on your own schedule?)

Clearly to attend a hands-on workshop like this (if you could find one) would be costly. Flying to a location, hotel, meals plus workshop fees and materials would probably be $1500-$2000. And let's face it, how many of us can fly off somewhere for the weekend?

You might be surprised at the price for this course-and all the value you get for only $397. I even offer payment plans so this is accessible for many more households.

I want you to get the information YOU need to make this precious time with your young child as loving and nourishing as possible.

So, what would this kind of hands-on information be worth for your family? What does having this support and community do for your peace of mind?

And that doesn't even include the increased confidence and pocketful of tools you will come away with.

Are you ready to reserve your seat?

One more thing, to keep this course intimate and be able to give the attention to all the participants, we are limiting the number... So, if you want to take advantage of this training, don't wait. Spaces filled very quickly the 2 previous times I offered this course and I have many on the "waiting list" for this upcoming program!

"A huge "A-Ha" moment was the aspect of quieting the mind. My older son is constantly "on" - from the second he wakes up until he goes to bed. Because of this workshop, I was able to see this differently. The biggest and most succinct change here has been that I took all the books out of the car. Soon after, I saw him staring blankly out the window. In all of his 8 years, I don't think I had ever seen him do this! Now I could see this "boredom" as a beneficial, quieting, down time and it has made all the difference! (I literally get chills when I think about this.) Thank you!"

Sheila Petruccelli

I'm confident that when you join "Nourishing the Early Years" course, you're going to attend your first class and be thrilled. I also know that if you are open to learning and growing, you will be on your way to greater confidence & clarity and bringing this to your child.

I don't know where to start with how much you've inspired me, how not-so-alone I feel when I listen in, all that I've learned, the amazing community of experts you've gathered and, how easy you make it all seem. Did I mention the variety, ease-of-access, and the fun?

Since listening to your series of chats ( they're more like sitting with a cup of tea with friends than around a conference table!), I've begun taking toddler-steps by crafting simple rhythms to our day that my 18 month old son & I can maintain..

I've learned to stop & observe behavior challenges (no longer conflicts!) & work with my Little Man's temperament instead of against him . I've become more mindful in my daily living, not just in parenting, but taking care to pause for myself & listen to my heart, smell the rising bread dough, see my son observe the world around him, & learn something new when I can with my world-wide-community of friends! Thank you!
