The content is help to recognise the relevant depth and progression anthroposophy brings to this important aspect of life and the responsibility of community in raising children and working together to promote individual wellbeing.
We look at how and when we work with children and adolescents to bring the understanding of sexuality and gender in relation to where they are in their consciousness. This brings harmony between the evolving body and inner experiences that sets the ground for healthy adult experience.
The talk will cover the themes of the content brought to the students and some of the main issues confronting child health and wellbeing in current times, with examples of how we can counter the unbalancing effects. We also address how to understand gender differences and similarities that both limit or free us and the contribution and struggles of the changing social structures around gender and sexuality affecting us all.

Healing the Impact of Technology: Supporting Attention, Attachment and Self-Regulation in Adolescence with Meaghan Witri is a presentation that aims to provide parents with a context to support young people to deepen their awareness of themselves and others through the exploration of content and experience that enhance capacities for attention, attachment and self-regulation. Young people need experiences that help to increase these capacities as part of healthy adolescent development in the modern industrialized world, and specifically as an antidote to the exposures of technology.
Meaghan will also offer the presentation on Thursday, November 6 at 8:30am in place of the regular PTA Coffee Hour to give current families an additional opportunity to engage in this important topic.
