As fellow Montessori teachers who’ve lived and breathed this age group in Montessori schools, they both discuss their experiences, insights and more to help you start to spot the Absorbent Mind with your child and then know how to use them to meet your child’s potential at home.

Join us for a conversation with Virginia Stone Rogers, a Montessori educator, parent coach, and Montessori mom! In this episode, Virginia and Mariana talk about how to prioritize the parts of your parenting day that matter with the 10-2-5-Connect Method! In this method, you can prioritize first 10 minutes of self-care, then only 2 minutes pursuing developmental information, finding 5 minutes to observe your child, and having a trustworthy and affirming space to connect! As Montessori teachers and parents of young children, they both discuss why self-care is so important, where they seek developmental information, how they find time to observe, and how you can leverage the Montessori Masterclass for all three (plus connection!).
