We are role modeling during challenging times. Whether you are a parent, a teacher, or a homeschool mom, you may have noticed that our whole paradigm is shifting and so is our vision for the future. The old authoritarian model doesn’t work any more; instead our children deserve a foundation as valuable as the one Maria Montessori envisioned which is based on a peace model. Children not only need the physical environment that supports their potential expansion but also the healthy and nurturing emotional environment provided by the adults.
We are a powerful influence on our children, so…Where do we start? How do we prepare ourselves?
I would like to share tools to:
- understand and use emotional intelligence
- stay calm during tough times
- communicate compassionately and effectively
- Identify and nourish the child’s innate gifts
If we want to “be the change we want to see in the world” (Mahatma Gandhi), we need to work on ourselves first.
