Montessori Webinar on Freedom and Discipline

Written by Jennifer A. Williams / Parent Coach | Dec 4, 2013 10:21:51 AM

Montessori says: "Freedom in intellectual work is found to be the basis of internal discipline." A young child's ability to exercise decisions in their environment whether at home or at school is something that needs to be practiced. Listening to their inner teacher is the foundation of empowerment and builds emotional intelligence.

As parents, how do we best help children to learn self-discipline while also honoring their freedom? We need to learn how to allow a child to guide their actions by their inner teacher within a framework that keeps them safe. How do we best accomplish this goal? 

In this 2-hour professional development webinar, Jennifer Williams of Heartmanity will share from her over 30 years of experience with parenting and the Montessori Method, as well as being an expert in emotional intelligence. Joining Jennifer is Victoria Brailsford, a Master Teacher in Montessori. They share their combined knowledge and expertise to empower you as parents with effective parenting skills and tools that help children succeed in life.
