Personal Initiative and Free Play – Becoming at Home in the Body in Early Childhood
Description
A contribution by Philipp Reubke
This lecture explains that learning difficulties at school age often stem from insufficient physical maturity in the first seven years of life. This maturity is fostered above all by three influences: the physical environment (through the senses), the cultural environment (through imitation of adults), and above all through self-initiated free play.
A contribution by Philipp Reubke to the Remedial Education Conference in October 2025 at the Goetheanum.
