In this episode I sit down with Montessori teacher Caitlyn McLelland. We talk about the opportunity for self-awareness, observation and experience-based learning while homeschooling and/or having our kids home at this time. We talk about how making a snack, folding clothes, watering plants or washing the car are just as important as the workbook from school and why that’s true. Caitlyn shares how fostering a natural state of calm focus in children may be as simple/profound as being aware of how we place a cup on the table. She encourages us to be self-compassionate, gentle and ok with being ‘wrong’ during this time, that there is no perfection, and she gives us tips for how to support our childrens’ natural love of discovery.
