But they don't realize that none of this is easy, things rarely go according to plan, and it's tough work actively engaging with your kids daily in a way to try and teach them, entertain them, stimulate their senses. <BR/><BR/>I am a recent fan of your blog, and love it. Thanks for all the wonderful inspiring ideas. I always look forward to new posts.<BR/><BR/>SAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856708363761638585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535558816784279102.post-25918741948590961602007-12-24T07:41:00.000-05:002007-12-24T07:41:00.000-05:00Thanks for the nice comments!

I'm pretty sure MB who commented that I make it "look easy" wasn't talking about parenting but it inspired my POST. Thanks for sharing your thoughts too. <BR/>To Anonymous: I applaud you for providing the care and education style you believe in with little support from your community. Your daughter is blessed. Check my LINKS that inspire list for Montessori links (I highly recommend visiting Montessori By Hand and Grey's Circus for more ideas). <BR/>To Plaidshoes:Hang in there! Your daughter's school is so lucky to have a parent interested in Montessori and learning more. I hope to provide more ideas you can use in the classroom and at home. Thanks for sharing.<BR/>In PEACE<BR/>~~MMJennifer Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852494826840027858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535558816784279102.post-66024089245322651662007-12-24T03:50:00.000-05:002007-12-24T03:50:00.000-05:00Your blog and another Montessori blog are in my fa...Your blog and another Montessori blog are in my favourites because I, too, believe Montessori is one of the best educational philosophies around. I love reading what you're up to.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could get involved in Montessori in my country, but they're all in the cities and I'm a country girl. <BR/><BR/>I still try to incorporate Montessori ideas here at home, however. My daughter and I are constantly creating stuff and doing activities together. Anyway, your post struck a chord with me, so I'm noting for the first time.<BR/><BR/>Do you have any other Montessori blogs you can direct us to? Or Montessori online resources/curriculum docs?<BR/><BR/>~ CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535558816784279102.post-64027787261530374542007-12-23T15:27:00.000-05:002007-12-23T15:27:00.000-05:00Thank you for the insight.

I am adjusting the other way - I haven't worked in over six years and am trying to get my bearings around just working part-time! Please keep the ideas coming - they really are inspiring!plaidshoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142207220763458093noreply@blogger.com
