Peace Education and the Absorbent Mind
How do the Absorbent Mind and the processes of adaptation and self-construction relate to peace education? This talk invites Montessori practitioners and families to revisit the first 6 years of life as the foundation for the child’s capacity to live harmoniously with others. Together, we will examine how the prepared environment, social community, and the adult’s role cultivate the dispositions necessary for peace.

Thank you! It’s always good to reinforce a peace education talking about empathy, talking about how they can overcome struggles and display peace.
Hi Val, Thanks for joining in. Yes, this is an important topic and more relevant today than ever. Education can feel “slow” when everything is an emergency, but it is one of the best tools we have to truly make a positive change. We got this!
Thank you for your wonderful presentation. I enjoy hearing the foundations of Montessori teaching and our role in the prepared adult.
We have many opportunities to teach when it gets hard, but they are opportunities to develop resilience and character in the child, and we learn to slow down and be the best we are.
Thanks Heather, yes, our role is such an important one, it’s worth checking with ourselves and reflecting on it from time to time.
