Fantasy VS Imagination: Can Montessorian...

Montessori Moms in the Wild
About this episode

As promised, we are circling back to the topic of fantasy and imagination as it relates to the Montessori philosophy. We have been excited to discuss this, as we feel it really can be a sensitive one. There are a lot of opinions surrounding this, and some seriously deep core memories and emotions tied to fantasy characters and stories for a lot of us. So, just know before you even tune in that we sincerely believe that it is OKAY to do what works for your family! With that being said join us for a very honest discussion about what Maria had to say about fantasy and imagination!
