Hi Deb,
I wanted to say “Thank You”! I have been reading a lot of your posts which have been really helpful for me. I had not much of a clue about how to do things with my son. Initially I really liked the Montessori concepts, but I did not know what and how to do things and mainly I did not know why I was doing a certain activity. Except it helps in someway. I do not own any books but just ordered Tim Seldin book you recommend ( it is available here in India).
Thank you again. I hope you have great year ahead.
Veena
Thanks so much for your kind words, Veena! I’m so glad my posts have been helpful. I think you’ll love the Tim Seldin book. I think you’ll find Montessori at Home by John Bowman very helpful as well.
If you haven’t seen my How to Start Using Montessori at Home post, that gives a number of links and steps to follow that you might find helpful: https://livingmontessorinow.com/2011/10/13/how-to-start-using-montessori-at-home/. Have a wonderful year and a wonderful Montessori journey! 🙂
Thanks for another year of great resources, Deb, and for all that you do to make Montessori accessible to all. I’m so grateful to know you, even if only via the web. I’m looking forward to being inspired by you in 2013!
Thanks so much for your kind comment, Melissa! I’m grateful to know you as well! I always love reading your posts and following the exciting happenings in your life. I’m looking forward to being inspired by you in 2013, too! 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just can’t say it enough!
That’s so sweet, Hollie! I’m so glad you’ve found my posts helpful! Have an awesome 2013! 🙂
