Charlottesville Waldorf School warmly invites you to a panel discussion in partnership with the 2026 TomTom Festival. Panelists Sharifa Oppenheimer, Lanz Travers, and Anne Coyner will explore how Waldorf education responds to the growing challenge of anxiety among young children and their parents. Panelists will discuss Waldorf principles and practices that help nurture calm, resilience, and confidence in children, and consider these approaches within the broader landscape of educational research and our evolving understanding of the human condition.
