The heart of the Waldorf method is that education is an art—it must speak to the child's experience. To educate the whole child, his heart and his will must be reached, as well as the mind.

They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.
