Traits of great teachers & parents

Posted on

In my ongoing series of conversations with my Montessori friend, Jesse McCarthy, we talk about what characteristics we find important in a Montessori teacher.

What 3 or 4 characteristics would you pick?

The things that came up for me were:

  1. curiosity
  2. enjoying to be with children
  3. being able to set kind and clear limits when needed: and
  4. having mutual respect between the child and adult

Listen to the conversation to hear what came up for Jesse and how you might like to try to embody some of these in your daily parenting.
