In Montessori we recognize that children develop and grow based on their environments and experiences.  We support their emotional development in going from the whole to the detail as we do everything.  We help them understand action and reaction.  Rather than encouraging them to react to outside stimuli...we help them learn to develop a deep sense of integrity with which to make decisions.  Enjoy this episode!
