Waldorf Homeschooling with Melisa Nielsen of Waldorf Essentials

It was such a delight to have Melisa Nielsen come on the show to speak with me about Waldorf homeschooling. I’ll be honest, I was intimidated to cover this topic since it’s something I know almost nothing about. So many of you requested that I cover Waldorf homeschooling and I didn’t even know where to begin. I asked the Waldorfy social media audience, who they would like to hear from on the topic of Waldorf homeschooling and overwhelmingly the guest that the most people wanted to hear from was Melisa. I personally didn’t know Melisa and because I’m always trying to bring you all the very best of guests and info surrounding Waldorf methods and ideas, I actually sent her an e-mail that practically grilled her on her credentials. I’ve since come to find out she is one of the pioneers of the Waldorf homeschool movement with years of experience as a homeschool parent and mentor to families pursing Waldorf homeschooling. As she discusses in the episode, she has five children herself and really went through it all learning to meet each of her children and their needs with Waldorf curriculum. I was so impressed with her knowledge and experience. Now I know why so many of you wanted to hear from her!Additional show notes and resources for this episode can be found at:waldorfy.com/waldorfessentials Theme music composed and performed by Book Kennison
