Recommended reading
El reino de la infancia
Rudolf Steiner · 1924
Seven lectures given in Torquay. The most accessible of the founding texts: if you read only one Steiner, read this one.
Phases of Childhood
Bernard Lievegoed · 1987
The stages of development explained by a psychiatrist. Useful if you want the reasoning without the terminology.
