Montessori principles working at home
I'm rerunning several pieces on work ethic this morning. Hope someone needs a refresher course!
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then 76 of your pictures are worth 76,000 of mine.Enjoy!
Following is the introduction to the above album. For comments on each picture, go here.
Children love to work! The secret to having a happy, contented child is simple: an environment rich in activities specifically designed to engage their attention and develop their skills. And it helps if you know how to lead them into making the most of their opportunities. As a Montessori teacher, I was trained for this purpose in working with children.Here are pictures showing children at work, using the Mommy, Teach Me! principles. Some were sent to me before publication for inclusion in my book, but now the album is open to all readers.
Please continue to send me photos of your children engaged in activities as a result of what you've learned from my books, and I will publish here - most recent first.
And for all mommies trying to do their best bringing up their children, blessings to you and yours! Enjoy every moment - they go by so fast! Send photos to megamommy12(at)gmail(dot)com.
My books are available through my site or Amazon (which is a good place to read reviews by other moms, too)
