Waldorf School of Atlanta hosts Cynthia Aldinger

Cynthia Aldinger will visit the Waldorf School of Atlanta in April. She will give an inspiring talk for parents and care-givers on Wednesday April 27th at 7 pm in Hazelwood Hall.

Nurturing the Nurturer, Parents and Guides   This talk will focus on the energy it takes to parent, teach and guide the young ones in our care. What nurtures us to do our best work with the children? - self-care, humor, and understanding of the children's needs as well.  Cynthia will have copies of her book available.
