Why are Children so Different Today

By | Dec 20, 2021

Teachers overwhelmingly agree that these behaviors are more frequent and blatant now than when they grew up or when they first started working with children. Teachers who’ve been in their...

Music: A Multisensory Approach to Learning

By | Dec 4, 2021

I have been a children’s music teacher for nearly half a century! I started teaching in Michigan and continued in the U.S. Virgin Islands, California, Hawaii, and New Mexico. In the beginning, I was expected to create my own curriculum. Because I was a musician, everyone assumed I knew how to implement a music program. The truth was, I had no idea! Fortunately, in 1974, I received a scholarship to become an accredited Early Childhood teacher through the American Montessori Society. The...

Infant Toddler Nutrition: Aiden Ate Cucumbers At Snack Time

By | Sep 24, 2021

Aiden ate cucumbers at snack time with me today! The cool crispiness, color, texture, who knows? Or was it because he helped peel them, cut them up, and then sat with me while I savored mine? Whatever this celebration is it's certainly the next step in his food exploration and acceptance of a variety of foods. This little two-year-old boy who still breast feeds began the school year in late August without a lot of hope in his lunch box for a balanced nutritional transition into solid foods....
