Rubicon: Selections from the Works of Rudolf Steiner

The ‘Rubicon’ – sometimes called the watershed or crossing point – is usually associated with the transition children go through around the age of nine, as they feel themselves start to grow apart from the world.

This book addresses both that classic Rubicon, and the other thresholds that children experience between the ages of seven and twelve. The change of teeth at seven, the shift in independent consciousness at nine, and the advance of puberty at twelve, are all covered in this comprehensive collection of Steiner’s insights.

This is a useful resource for both parents and teachers who seek to better understand the children in their care.
