Montessori Moms in the Wild

About Montessori Moms in the Wild

We are three trained Montessori guides and new moms. We are NOT here to be your guide, per se, but simply to share, commiserate and maybe even inspire each other on this wild journey. Our hopes are that together we can remind ourselves of what is important to us as Montessorians and as mothers in a way that might help other parents - or at least entertain them!

   What Even is Peace Education?

   After a months-long podcast disappearance (travel, life chaos, and Laura’s dad passing in November), the three Montessori-trained moms pop back in with updates (midlife crises, Hilary Duff is BACK, Megan's loving beans & losing teeth); then they dive into Montessori peace education- what does it really mean? What does it look like in the classroom, and what can we do at home to support this integral part of the philosophy (perhaps more relevant now than ever)? TLDL: less “be nice,” more building humans who can cooperate, think critically, respect dignity, and care for their community, with peace woven into everyday routines, boundaries, and conflict repair (not permissiveness). 00:00 Teaser00:22 Welcome to the Podcast02:08 Why We Disappeared03:52 Disney 10K Recap06:24 Megan’s New Obsessions09:02 Rachel’s Life Updates14:13 Introducing Peace Education15:38 Montessori’s Peace Roots22:13 Peace in Daily Practice36:07 Natural Consequences Explained36:39 Gentle Not Permissive37:42 Peaceful Parenting Tips38:22 Slow Mornings Self Regulation41:02 Choices And Problem Solving45:15 Go Outside Build Community48:00 Being Parents Versus Teachers50:33 Confessions: Grill Fire52:56 Confessions: Tooth Crown56:51 Confessions: Midlife Crisis Jeans59:21 Wrap Up And Where To Listen

[…] And I do know with her, the first little bit of it is almost a, I'm trying to remember the exact term she uses because there might be, there might be a difference between these two, but are you familiar with like de-schooling or like unschooling, right? Where like, she's basically puts you through a period of like, not thinking about setting up your homeschool experience as a classroom.
