Must-Reads for Parents and Teachers

“It is not enough for the teacher to love the child.  She must first love and understand the universe.  She must prepare herself, and truly work at it.”

– Maria Montessori

For those of us lucky enough to work with children, we have work to do to get ourselves ready for this amazing responsibility.

A lot goes into this self-transformation: humility, love, sympathy, patience, self-discipline, etc.

Also: knowledge.

I can help you on that one!
