About Our Panelists
Waldorf educator Nancy Blanning is joined by Ryan Bittinger and Sondra Locket to discuss how to walk with your children as a compassionate and supportive companion. Moderating by Jenny Thompson.
About Waldorf Educator Nancy Blanning
Nancy is a Waldorf early childhood educator, parent, and grandparent of nearly 40 years and specializes in supporting healthy development for young children. This includes physical and sensory development but also holds a deep concern that every child be accepted for his/her/their individual expressions in this life. She is also a Waldorf teacher trainer, mentor, consultant, author, and conference presenter.
About Sondra Lockett
“A mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend and a working professional, but is there such a role as a professional mom? I am blessed to have two children that have taken me on two completely different journeys. Over the last 15 years, I have learned more from my children than I could ever teach them about being true to oneself, practicing patience, offering compassion and letting the world unfold as it should. For the last 4 years, my family has been led on a trans journey by our youngest child that has further opened our hearts, expanded our minds and created an extraordinary and necessary shift in our family dynamic.” Sondra
