Nicole Kavanaugh joins us as we kick off season 3 of the podcast with the first episode in a series for parents!  Nicole helps us explore how we can take the philosophies of Montessori and CGS and apply them outside of the atrium, most especially in our homes. How we can prepare ourselves to interact with our children in a way that is respectful and fosters spiritual growth. How we can create an environment that foster peace and spirituality in our homes?

UPDATE- Audiobook – Now Available on Audible

CGSUSA is excited to offer you the audio version of The Religious Potential of the Child – 3rd Edition by Sofia Cavalletti, read by Rebekah Rojcewicz!

The Religious Potential of the Child is not a “how-to” book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child’s spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many. The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life as an audiobook.
