Welcome to today's podcast episode on how to understand and help your childs' concentration around the Montessori philosphy for different ages.

Concentration is an important skill for children of all ages. It allows them to focus on their work, learn new things, and solve problems.

The Montessori approach to education emphasizes the importance of concentration, and parents can use many activities and strategies to help their children develop this skill.

Remember that all children develop at their own pace. Some children may be able to concentrate for longer periods of time than others. Be patient and supportive, and your child will eventually develop the ability to concentrate for extended periods of time.

Screen time can be tough to manage, especially with young kids. On the one hand, it can be a great way to keep them entertained and learning. On the other hand, too much screen time can have a negative impact on their development.

Remember, you're not alone!

Hang out with Megan as she sits down to a casual, unscripted chat about some of the recent changes she has made in her routine that have yielded huge impacts on finding ease and peace in the daily grind (and often chaos) that is parenting. Preparation of the adult (including the parent!) is a keystone of everything we do in the Montessori philosophy; and it extends so far beyond reading the textbooks, diving into blogs and podcasts, or following IG accounts. If you have been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately, we hope you find a little inspiration in what Megan's been doing to get herself unstuck!

In this episode, we discuss the three-year cycle of Montessori teaching, which is a framework for understanding how children develop and learn. We talk about the different stages of the cycle, the importance of mixed-age classrooms, and how teachers can support children's individual learning needs.

In this last episode before our summer break, Laura discusses what she learned about the concept of the “fourth trimester,” or the first three months of life with a newborn. Laura guides this conversation using the book Understanding the Human Being, by Dr. Silvana Quattrocchi Montanaro, an AMI legend among Assistants to Infancy who dedicated her life to preparing parents for the physical and psychological needs of their children. In her book Dr. Montanaro refers to the integral months after birth as “extrogestation.” What is the fourth trimester/extrogestation? Why is it so important? What are Laura’s main takeaways, and what has she done differently her second time around? Tune in and find out!

Megan shares simple examples from her own journey as a parent and as a teacher that had profound impacts on her children and kept them coming back for more! We hope you feel inspired to share or create a story of your own tonight.
