A Note From Lorna McGrath
Educating children in the Montessori way has been my passion and my life’s work. I’ve designed this course, for you, parents, to help your children (whether they are toddlers or teens) develop kindness and courtesy, self-discipline, responsibility, and confidence.
In our five weeks together, I will explain essential strategies to meet your children’s emotional needs, identify and breakdown preconceived ‘habits of thought,’ and understand and minimize misbehavior.
A new unit will open up each week. I provide homework and suggestions for things to observe and try with your family. In addition, there is a private Facebook group where you, me, and the other course participants can discuss what we are learning. And best of all, when the course is done, you will have access forever.
All parents wish their children came with a manual. Well Lorna’s classes have been as close to a manual as I could hope for! Her courses have been life changing for my family. Each class I attend, I walk away with multiple strategies to target our biggest issues or goals and have always found long lasting success. I even enjoy taking the same class after a few years because I can refocus on the latest stage of my children’s development or new issues that have developed over time.
I knew I wanted something different! Raised with the idea to let the baby cry herself to sleep or a good spanking will help her listen, wasn’t the way I wanted to raise my daughter. But I didn’t know what that new approach was until I took the course facilitated by Lorna McGrath M.Ed.
My father took the class with me; I was recently divorced and my parents were helping with my daughter. I wanted us to be on the same page. My father learned a whole new style of interacting with his granddaughter. No longer was it a parental dictatorship with punishments. Now it was helping her learn consequences from her behaviors. There were even times when he would help remind me to use the correct techniques in a given situation.
The old punishment and blame game will be broken—giving rise to the new approach of fostering respect, responsibility and unconditional love.
