How and when something is taught affects the student's
disposition towards health or illness for life. The whole
Waldorf curriculum is built o­n an understanding of the
development and physiology of the child. …
The healthy development of the physical body is
the basis for a healthy unfolding of the soul-spiritual
individuality of the child. Therefore it is of great
importance that doctors and teachers work together.

Dr. Glöckler has brought together for the first time in
English research and insights into the relationship
between how we educate children and the health
they enjoy both as children and later as adults.
This is a book to read deeply, to ponder over.
The application of these insights in our teaching
and working with children has the power to resonate
far into the future, creating a healthier world as it does.
