S2 E3 Building Security in the Young Child Through Rhythm

Today my guest is Meagan Wilson. Meagan is a parent educator and author of the now-retired seasonal series of Whole Family Rhythms Guides. As a parent coach and educator she has supported hundreds of parents to create a strong family rhythm unique to their own values and culture. Meagan provides resources, support and information to parents who are looking for a bridge to cross between their unique family life and their children’s (often but not always Waldorf-inspired) school.
