Listen in as she shares her passion for embodied parenting and Montessori education. What We Talked About: Our own rebirths when we become parents How our parenting is always evolving based on how we were raised  How to honor the unfolding of our children's essence. The misconceptions and illusions we have about Montessori education and parenting The gift of working with a diverse population Things to Remember: “Can we block out the noise to hear ourselves, hear our heart, and trust in our child's innate goodness?” “Parenting, it’s the toughest job in the world with no training.” “The more we understand our children, the more we understand ourselves.” “We have all the wisdom we need inside of ourselves and we must honor that.” - Charlotte Awdry “Parenting is our opportunity to evolve.” - Jeanne-Marie Paynel “Believe in your children and they will believe in themselves too.” - Vicki Reece “The child is much more spiritually elevated than is usually supposed. He often suffers, not from too much work, but from work that is unworthy of him.” - Dr. Maria Montessori Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, Your Parenting Mentor
