? A big problem in children's education is that the process of human growth is a process of constant forgetting. Up to now, we have only fragments and remnants of childhood experiences, feelings and ideas. Even these remnants and fragments are vague, and it is difficult for us to establish a thorough and detailed understanding of our childhood growth process. And this problem has not changed much with the development of science and technology. We can record the images and sounds from birth to growth with sound and video, but we can never remember the feeling of eating cookies for the first time, let alone what impact this feeling has brought to ourselves.

? In the author's view, the core of children's education is based on the observation and understanding of children's souls. Due to the continuous development of medicine, we know exactly what kind of nutrition children of different ages need to help their body grow. However, it is always difficult to give a satisfactory answer to the question of how our thinking grows and how the outside world and our cognition grow.

? I think Montessori's educational theory originated from her mathematics and medical education. Therefore, it is more inclined to let the brain and body grow in a more correct way, in which the promoted soul seems to be a by-product. However, Steiner's core theory is soul, which sounds strongly religious, but in the face of irreversible uncertainty, this seems to be our best way at present.

? People have souls, souls need to grow, and souls have characteristics. When we realize these three points and observe the education that children receive now, we will find that most children are treated wrongly. Because we think that children's satiety is more important than children's happiness, (in fact, it is very important), we think that children should mature with age (we don't admit that we may degenerate with age), and we think that a single score is the most important for children themselves (not when facing social survival). Not only are children not treated correctly, but we also don't treat ourselves in the right way. But when we can't calm our inner needs, our soul is painful, and when our soul can't control its behavior, our soul is weak. How to nourish children's souls correctly is a problem Steiner tried to solve. First of all, the teacher should have enough observation to observe what the child needs, what the state is and what will not change. Secondly, the teacher's own soul should be pure, beautiful and powerful enough to serve as the closest example when communicating with children wholeheartedly. Finally, teachers should create their own courses according to their own internal characteristics. Moreover, as parents and teachers, we must be able to provide children with spiritual nourishment (the author calls it the milk of the earth). This is a simple metaphor. As we all know, the food people eat when they are young lays the foundation for their bodies. Then the nourishment that the soul gets when it is weak provides the basic raw materials for its subsequent growth. So what is the best nutrition? The virtue, wisdom and willpower naturally produced in those who raise children should be regarded as part of it. Moreover, respecting commonness means diversification of courses, and painting, music, dance, stories and other means can all serve a certain teaching goal (such as literacy), which is in line with the saying that "everyone is unique". Since everyone is unique and every teacher is unique, no class should be unique. The problem now is the unified repetition in the school.

The growth of soul needs not only nourishment, but also space. This is also the reason why it uses a lot of abstract props in the teaching process. For example, there are only stacked gouache, dolls without facial details and monochrome background pictures, and there is a lack of specific description of the story. When there are no details, children will use their imagination and cognition to fill in these details, which is a space for soul activities and a positive interaction between soul and the outside world. But the lack of details does not mean simplicity and randomness, but behind it should represent a beautiful abstraction. Just like when you look at the map of your hometown, every time you move your eyes to a point, you won't care what color the intersection is marked with, but you will remember how you walked over and over again from childhood. The graceful skeleton gives the soul a place to stay, and the remaining space gives the soul a space to run or take a nap. On the contrary, once the details are completely filled, the soul can only become a stuffed recipient, which may be why some people still learn a lot when they are young, but they still can't see the sunshine on their faces.

May every child be treated correctly, and may every wronged adult find a way to redeem.
