A overview on Montessori Principles and how they can be applied and incorporated into parenting. Common concerns will be covered using resources from Montessori’s own writings, recent brain research and best practices in raising young children in the 21st Century. These ideas will be connected to the bestselling book, Beyond Measure, sequel to Race to Nowhere, by Vicki Abeles. –
The book, Beyond Measure – Rescuing an Overscheduled, Overtested, Underestimated Generation, is an inspiring book for parents, students, and educators on how to revolutionize learning, prioritize children’s health, and re-envision success for a lifetime. The book pulls from powerful anecdotes and convincing new research where Abeles presents inspirational, quantifiable success stories and shows how anyone—students, parents, and educators—can effect change.
