Examples of supportive learning in adolescence

Many adolescents are trapped in self-referential digital bubbles, while adults often respond with reactivity and overwhelm rather than with awareness. Fenella Blakaj describes consciousness as a funnel: the deeper one slips into prefabricated thoughts and judgements, the more connection and warmth towards the child fade. Ideal pedagogy requires a “warm-clear” state of spirit rooted in the present moment. The aim is to see the healthy core of every child through one’s own development of consciousness and to make genuine, loving connection possible.

A contribution by Fenella Blakaj to the Conference on Remedial Education in October 2025 at the Goetheanum.
