Pédagogies :
Pedagogies: Steiner-Waldorf Method (or Steiner Pedagogy):
The Steiner-Waldorf pedagogy, based on the ideas of Rudolf Steiner, emphasizes the holistic development of the child, integrating the intellectual, artistic and practical aspects of learning. Steiner-Waldorf schools favor a global approach to education, emphasizing creativity, the connection with nature and respect for the pace of development of each child.
Freirean Method:
Inspired by the work of the Brazilian pedagogue Paulo Freire, the Freirean method emphasizes critical awareness, democratic participation and the emancipation of individuals through education. This approach aims to develop in children a critical mind, a capacity for reflection and an intrinsic motivation to learn.
Regard Emancipé Method:
The Regard Emancipé method, developed by Philippe Meirieu, emphasizes cooperation, autonomy and student accountability in their learning process. Schools that follow this method seek to foster in children a critical and reflective view of the world around them, encouraging them to become engaged and responsible actors in their own education.
Adapted Montessori Method:
Some schools or educational structures adapt the principles of the Montessori method to integrate them with other educational approaches or to meet the specific needs of children. These adaptations can take different forms depending on the contexts and objectives targeted, thus offering a greater diversity of educational approaches.
Each of these teaching methods offers unique and complementary approaches to the education of children, highlighting specific educational values and practices. It is important to take into account the needs and specificities of each child to choose the educational approach that suits them best.
Child’s sleep
Gentle Sleep Method (or Parental Approach):
This method encourages parents to respond to their baby’s sleep needs in a caring and compassionate manner, promoting closeness and comfort. Parents are encouraged to respond to their baby’s cues and gently coax them into falling asleep, without letting them cry alone.
Ferber Method (or Progressive Extinction):
The Ferber method involves teaching babies to fall asleep alone by letting them cry at regular intervals, while gradually reassuring them. This method aims to teach children to self-regulate and fall asleep without constant parental intervention.
Cascade Sleep Method (or No-Tears Method):
This method advocates a gentle and non-traumatic approach to getting babies to sleep, avoiding crying and promoting calm and security. Parents are encouraged to create a sleep-friendly environment, establish soothing rituals, and respond attentively to their baby’s needs.
Controlled Sleep Method (or Cry It Out Method):
This method involves letting the baby cry for short periods of time, gradually increasing the waiting intervals before intervening. The goal is to teach the child to fall asleep alone and return to sleep without parental assistance, promoting autonomy and self-soothing.
Biological Sleep Method (or Chronobiological Approach):
This method is based on the baby’s natural sleep rhythms, taking into account their internal biological clock. Parents are encouraged to observe their baby’s tiredness signals and respect their baby’s needs for rest and sleep according to their development and individual rhythm.
Each baby sleep method presents different approaches to falling asleep, regulating sleep, and responding to children’s needs. It is important to choose a method that fits the values and preferences of each family, taking into account the well-being and development of the child.
