The First Three Years of the Child

How Children Learn to Walk, Speak and Think

A classic exploration of the first three years of a childs life from Karl König, physician, anthroposophist and founder of the Camphill movement, offering valuable insights into early years' development.

In this classic work on early childhood development, Karl König explores the first three years of a child's life by examining the three major achievements that occur during this stage: learning to walk, speak and think.

These are three core faculties and their acquisition, König argues, is 'an act of grace' in every child. He goes on to provide a detailed analysis of this extraordinarily complex process.

This Karl König Archive edition now includes extensive notes and a new introduction by Dr Jan Goeschel, founding President of the Camphill Academy in North America, which puts this well-known text in the context of modern-day research.

The First Three Years of the Child provides fascinating insights into early years' development and will be of great value to educators, medical professionals and carers.
