EP 03: Follow the child not the curriculum. With Pilar Bewley

My dear friend Pilar came over after a day of homeschooling her two children and sat down with me to share her journey from full-time teacher to now full-time homeschooling parent. 

What we Talked About

  • Her journey from being a Montessori child, a teacher, and now a homeschooling parent of two. 
  • How important it is to evolve as a parent to meet our children’s needs. 
  • The significance of observation as a skill to aid our children to reach their full potential. 
  • And how to use the Montessori didactic material to assist in understanding bigger intellectual concepts. 

Things to Remember
