“How will children who are so constantly artificially stimulated ever learn to think, imagine, create or just be still?” In her ARC 2025 speech, Sophie Winkelman lays out a compelling case for the return to an 'analog' upbringing for our children and young people, warning of the adverse effects of excessive technology use, particularly in our education systems.
The Sandpoint Waldorf School prioritize hands-on, experiential learning, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and social connection without the distractions of screens. By keeping technology out of the classroom in the early years, children develop strong imaginations, problem-solving skills, and a deep connection to the natural world. This intentional approach allows students to fully engage in their learning, laying the foundation for a balanced and mindful relationship with technology as they grow.
