Entry #5 - What's This Montessori Thing All About?

2 Listeners
For much of my life, I was brought up in an environment where the phrase “follow the child” is the guiding principle. While there are many approaches to how one can navigate the waters of raising a child, the one we have stuck with here in our household is a Montessori approach.
Today we’re talking about what the meaning is behind a Montessori education and how adopting this philosophy can help to answer the age-old question of nature versus nurture.

Entry #4 - Why Changing a Diaper is Gross, but Still the Gentleman Thing to Do
I figure that if I can change diapers, any father can. Of course, we seem to be living in a new age of fatherhood, when men do chores their fathers once avoided. Still, I’m sure there are fathers out there who are squeamish when it comes to diapers, particularly “poopies.”
