Welcome to our blog!
Between Ms. Laura’s extensive administrative and classroom experience and my 16 years of running two Montessori schools, we’ve seen many things evolve. Yet, one thing remains constant: children displaying the same kinds of developmentally appropriate (and sometimes not-so-appropriate) behaviors. Parents often seek advice on how to encourage positive behaviors, reduce challenging ones, or even whether they need to intervene at all. (Potty training woes? Trouble getting your child to sleep? We’ve got you covered.)
From time to time, I will also share personal stories about my son, John, or stories Ms. Laura has shared with me about her two children, Henry and Natalie.
We hope that the insights we share as moms and seasoned Montessori educators will support you on your parenting journey—or at least give you a reason to smile. 😉
Thanks for stopping by,
Shannon
