Target Audience: ALL

Presented by: Maria Eva Chaffin

We, as teachers AND Montessorians need to understand the power of relationships! Relationships represent the foundation of everything in life, especially when we work with kids. Our preconceptions can often prevent us from seeing the real child that is hidden from normal view! Some children will be more challenging than others, but every child WILL be different. If we are going to tackle this challenge, we need to prepare with some real introspection and reflection on what we must do. We must come prepared because we must not forget that we are the adults in these relationships, we are the ones with the tools and strategies to make this happen.
