> FWIW that belief is considered basic developmental science in Germany and informs the early education system there (at least). I suspect the GP was talking more about things like Steiner's belief that a child shouldn't exit kindergarten until they lose a baby tooth. Or that any illness a child develops was something their souls chose before birth, and therefore things like vaccination deny the soul. Or how different races came from places like Atlantis or Lemuria... Anthroposophy is a whole thing. Play and social learning is why we enrolled our kid in early childhood with Waldorf, but Anthroposophy is why we got out.
