Rebecah Freeling was the owner of the Waldorf Briar Rose Children's Center between 1999 and 2010. She is known for planning and participating in joyful birthday celebrations that honor the child. She has also been a parenting consultant for 20 years.
What does a parenting consultant do? Parents are now wanting to learn how to work best with their child's own temperament and moods. We are all individuals and Rebecah specializes in helping parents work with their child on such things as social skills, social responsibility, self-management, and flexible and creative problem solving. I think everyone wishes they had someone to help with those things!
Rebecah is known as an "empath," which I had to research in order to learn what that term means. An "empath" is someone who can fell other people's emotions as their own, and empath can actually feel what other people feel. Many excellent teachers do this very thing, which is why they can have 20 to 35 children in their class and be able to handle all of them, plus the parents, administration, and other teachers. Having this unique sensitivity, I believe, is a unique gift that people either naturally have or don't. In my career, I've seen teachers with this unique gift and it is magical!
I haven't actually worked with Rebecah yet, but I am planning on interviewing her next week to have her help plan and upcoming birthday party. I love the idea of having old fashioned, natural party games, healthy yet yummy treats, and a unique puppet show and songs! I will let you all know how it goes!
