19: Trust childhood. With Ted Conway

Are you wondering what all the hype around Montessori at home is?  Or do you worry you're not enough for your child? Listen in to find the answers and support. It was a pleasure talking with Ted as she shared about her country life in Northern Ireland raising her two children along with a slew of farm animals.  What we talked about: Her experience as a Montessori child from 2 to 10 years of age.  What it means to be an artful parent. What Montessori parenting means to her (it’s not about the shelves). Giving children freedom within limits.  Her self-care rituals and mindful affirmations. How to choose children’s books.  Things to Remember: “You are enough for your child.” - Ted Conway “Children appreciate art. They are far more discerning than we give them credit for.” - Ted Conway “Treat others like they would like to be treated.”  - Ted Conway Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, Your Parenting Mentor
