If we want to raise children who can one day not only understand the political conflicts between nations but also who can see both perspectives, we need to raise global citizens. In Montessori, we intentionally expose children to many cultures that are similar and different from theirs and infuse our lessons with positivity and compassion. One way we do this is by studying flags. In this episode, David and Aubrey explain why flags are included in our Montessori Essentials list and how to use them in your home.
