Welcome back Holistic Humans, Today I’m blessed to have Lou Harvey Zahra back on the show. Lou is the Author of many amazing parenting books such as Happy Child, Happy Home, Creative Discipline and the Waldorf Birthday Book, Through the Rainbow. Lou has courses and online workshops available for Parents and Teachers which you can access through her website happychildhappyhome.com. Also follow her on facebook and Instagram for loads of tips, short videos and updates about her courses and publications @happychildhappyhome (More info below) Today we go right into Temperaments. Lou explains what they are, why they are important for us to understand and how developing an understanding of our own temperaments will help us better understand ourselves and relate to the world around us. I do want to preface this with the fact that we are a combination of ALL FOUR temperaments, but we usually have one more dominant. These can change over time, and please never tell your young child what you their temperament is. They need the freedom to grow into who they are destined to be. First we introduce the concept of the Temperaments. Then in middle Lou talks about the general characteristics of the four temperaments, how we see it in children, how to relate to children with that temperament and what you may be like as a parent with that temperament. Near the end Lou gets talking about general good parenting, and I recommend you listen right to the end, the tips and insight that come out at the end are golden. We were a bit glitchy and I think looking back, I was a bit delayed on Lou’s end, so forgive the couple of times where we unknowingly talk over each other! Tech is a blessing, but has its own way of doing things at times  I want to make a special mention of Life Ways in North America, they are an organization that support teachers and parents in the Waldorf ways, much like Lou does! The anonymous producer of this episode requested I not mention them, but give a shout-out to an organization they really value. So thank you anonymous and check out Life Ways on Instagram @lifewaysnorthamerica.

The Holistic Human Podcast: The Human Temperaments with Lou Harvey-Zahra

Kia Ora and Warm Greetings, Please like, subscribe, comment and share! Comments and reviews on iTunes and Youtube are a wonderful and FREE way to help this podcast reach more people. Welcome to the Holistic Human Podcast (formally known as the Mystic Discoveries). A transformation is underway and I think that this interview with Lou was the perfect rebirth conversation for the podcast. I decided to change its name after we recorded so you will still hear me welcome Lou to the Mystic Discoveries. I will record a video/podcast explaining the change at a later point, but for now, enjoy. This was the first video recording I have done, and the books that I refer to at the beginning which I didn’t name are ‘Through the Rainbow’ and ‘Angels’. For those listening to the audio podcast, I recorded the introduction with Phoenix (my son) on my lap, so he pipes in with some commentary 😊 Welcome back to the long overdue podcast with Lou Harvey-Zahra. Writer of many parenting and children’s books including ‘Happy Child, Happy Home’ and ‘Through the Rainbow’. Lou has been involved in Waldorf and Special Education for over 30years. She is an expert in positive classroom disciple and is well respected in the field of special needs education (particularly when it comes to helping children with Asperger’s and autism). She was a co-founder of one of the Steiner schools in Melbourne, Australia and has run countless workshops with parents, teachers, and other groups about connectivity and Waldorf education principals. She is also the co-creator of Nurture the Child which is a monthly subscription service packed with Waldorfy craft projects/stories/cooking ideas for families with children aged 0-9. Part 1: About Lou It was an honour to talk to Lou. I wanted to know more about what her journey as a teacher/writer and human has looked like. She graciously shares some amazing moments of synchronicity that guided her path. We bond over similarities of our first childhood memories. I ask her about her spiritual path and she describes is as Flow, Heart, Present-ness and Gratitude. She elaborates on that in a deeply moving way. Part 2: (50ish mins through) Lou’s Books and the Spiritual Nature of the Child. She also talks us through her books. We focus on the content of Happy Child, Happy Home is. This allows Lou to talk about the spiritual nature of the baby and young child. How we can connect deeply with our kids and give them a wonderful childhood. The importance of rhythm and play. She also gives us some lovely tips for the toddler years and some insight into tantrums. In fact she weaves tips right to the end. Why discipline is important, its about teaching, caring and guiding. What is Creative Discipline. To connect with Lou and find out about workshop dates head over to…. www.happychildhappyhome.com Subscribe to the monthly Nurture the Child packages. Super affordable and PACKED with practical tips.  https://www.happychildhappyhome.com/nurture-the-child/ On Instagram @happychildhappyhome @nurturethechild
