The decisions you make about your children's educations today will affect who they become in the future. Yet it's difficult to sort through all the available advice and information.
I believe the place to start is determining what you really want for them. You may be shooting for high test scores and entrances into elite schools in hopes they'll have the best chance of finding the happiness, stability and life achievement that come from working hard.
But getting a child to work hard isn't as simple as telling them to work hard or hiring someone else who will. And true life success is about far more than working hard. Working hard is only a means to an end, not an end in and of itself.
Plus, test scores and elite schools becoming outdated as our world crashes past the communication and information revolutions and into the technology of intelligence.
What today's children will really need for the future is different than what we needed when we were young.
The Montessori method, when applied correctly, aligns with principles of developmental psychology. I'm convinced that the best future for humans and humanity is to align child education with principles that prioritize fostering optimal human development.
The Montessori method of education prepares learning environments that help children develop into capable, free thinking, intrinsically motivated and socially responsible adults who can take initiative and find enjoyment and meaning through creating new things that will make our world better.
These qualities will also incentivize your children to work hard and achieve no matter what twists and turns the future of this planet bring.
And parents who give these gifts to their children offer them far more than elite schools and high test scores ever can. Yet these gifts will simultaneously prepare them to get into those elite schools and achieve those high test scores because well functioning and intrinsically motivated children who want the best for themselves will find a way to make the best happen, whether that best comes through the traditional route of the past or a new route of the future.
Today's parents need sophisticated strategies that will help them prepare their children for the future that's really coming, not the future we understand.
Montessori's integration of principles of developmental psychology will support your child in developing the intrinsic motivation to work hard and find their own purpose and meaning while educating them to think critically and scientifically.
I will help you prepare your home learning environment and share with you the parenting strategies that can make this happen.
Set an appointment today.
Your child's future is worth it.
Tomorrow's world is going to be different than today's. Tomorrow's success won't require the memorization of facts or diplomas from fancy schools. When artificial intelligence is more fully with us, we will realize that everything we once thought we knew about education has long been obsolete. Today's parents have little reason to prepare their children for a future based on the wisdom of the past... because that future won't exist.Instead, prepare your children for the future that really is coming.
Montessori builds innovative entrepreneurs who know how to lead, not the corporate cogs and factory workers who come out of conventional classrooms. Montessori teaches children how to think rather than what to think, and how to act rather than how to follow. Montessori helps children learn how to make their own meaning -- a skill that will be worth far more than accolades in a future world that will be even more complex than today's.
The wisdom your parents used to raise you isn't enough for your children because the world has changed... and because it will continue to change at faster and faster rates. What mattered when you were a child doesn't matter as much now and will likely not matter at all by the time your children reach adulthood.
Shift your thinking for your child.
