Ok, my friend–you have really opened up not only my mind, but I believe have primed the pump for Montessori to come into our home. Reading the article, I was like a flock-headed Chihuahua in the rear window. It makes sense not only intellectually, but intuitively and spiritually.
And especially with having hugely tactile children…I need to learn this–yesterday. LOL
Thank you & God Love You for posting this!
Jennifer!! Your posts should have a “Warning do NOT drink milk while reading THIS post” sign on them…too funny!!
I have that feeling about Montessori…it waxes and wanes with the craziness of my life, but it is always there tugging on the corners of my mind! We have hugely tactile children too…this was a great fit for all of them. I still wish I could learn more…I keep putting the stuff I can’t get to YET in the “I’ll be a wonderful grandma someday” file ;o)
