Steadfastness and Gratitude: Finding a Balance between Strong Centredness and Deep Connectedness
Chapters7
Description
A contribution by Clara Aerts and Li Zhang
Clara Aerts and Li Zhang advocate steadfastness and gratitude as attitudes. Steadfastness means faithfully carrying out decisions out of love for the deed – like the sun or the rhythm of the heart – without waiting for results. Daily kindergarten work, stories, reviews and shared decisions need this perseverance, as do pauses and reflection. Gratitude opens us up like bamboo: becoming empty, seeing the light in everyday life, accepting difficulties too as a chance to learn.
A contribution by Clara Aerts and Li Zhang to the World Conference “Kindergarten and Early Childhood” in April 2026 at the Goetheanum.
