This chapter approximates the educational ideas and practices in “alternative schools” or independent schools. We contrast the typical school systems of many countries which emphasize compliance, obedience and memorization, and in some teaching geared toward passing standardized tests. The clinician who works with children is presented with the ideas of Pestalozzi, Froebel, Montessori and Steiner, all of who founded educational systems or schools with different models of learning. All of them however emphasized the importance of feeling secure at school, the teacher following the lead of the students and fostering their natural wish to learn. They emphasize recognizing the potential of each child, and tailoring education to promote development in all areas, not only cognitive. There is a need also for an “emotional education” and to become citizens of the world, caring about other human beings and nature. These educational experiences could set the foundation of a lifelong attitude toward learning, altruism and coexistence with nature.
