Five campers so far
Five Waldorf campers have signed up so far:
Two 8 year old boys
A 7 year old boy
A 5 year old boy and
A 5 year old girl
We cannot have camp unless two more children enroll. I have had many requests from parents to stretch the age limits (5-8) but I feel that this gap is quite big enough.
I remember when I was teaching how rewarding the work with the children was and how challenging the work with the parents. This is still true. I still seem to be easily caught off guard by their seemingly "silly" questions and requests. I know this is one of my tests in this life. To breathe and work toward understanding how I can help the parents of my students.

this happens at my work, too. admittedly, our patients don't 'talk' but boy the questions owners ask! like, "does my dog have to wear this e-collar?" It would be great if once in a while you could say what you would like ie: "no, feel free to let your dog lick his incision area until it is raw and bleeding and infected and you have to call us at midnight and pay the $75 emergency fee." Instead of: "Yes, it's very important for Rover to wear this so he won't lick."
Parents always ask silly questions and it is trying to be patient. Maybe that is a lesson for both of us?
