Learning 'how to think' isn't exactly a goal for 6-8-year-olds. At this age, the focus should be on integration--learning to get the mind and body (and will or spirit) working together, being in the world. 'Thinking' isn't really the focus. Ages 6-8 also involve two separate developmental periods: a six-year-old is in a much different place than an 8-year-old.

Notice that 'thinking' isn't really a focus with Waldorf until around age 14.
