Abstract/Notes: Grandparents can be patient, can look at difficult behavior and avoid the leap to dark conclusions, and can deal with whining, crying, silliness, and a variety of other actions with calm but clear messages because they remember and understand the normalcy of most youthful behaviors.Worthiness eschews comparisons, values competence, avoids shame and blame, seeks understanding, and focuses not on what should not have been done but rather on what "needs to be understood" (Growing Parent, 1979).[...]these grandparents are in a minority, as current demographics suggest: * 72% think being a grandparent is the single most important and satisfying thing in their life. * 63% say they can do a better job caring for grandchildren than they did with their own. * 68% think being a grandparent brings them closer to their adult children. * 90% enjoy talking about their grandkids to just about everyone. (www.grandparents.com) It appears that Mario Montessori, Jr., had a grandmother who reflected these attitudes-Maria Montessori.

Abstract/Notes: The author knew she would be picky about where her child started his schooling. After calling over 30 public and private schools within a 50-mile radius of her home, and then visiting more than 15 of them, the author chose Lexington Montessori School (LMS). However, when she tells friends and acquaintances about her son's fantastic school, she discovers that Montessori is not well understood. There appear to be two threads of thinking about the Montessori philosophy. One view is that the Montessori environment is chaotic: "It's too much to expect children to choose their own work for hours at a time. The other view is that Montessori is too rigid: "Making simple things like taking off your coat or eating your lunch into a job to learn is too much for a child." Children need unstructured time to relax. However, the author believes in the intangible value of the intrinsic love of learning that Montessori nurtures. She wants her child to be able to learn with confidence and develop a passion for learning so that he will be able to learn whatever skill he needs to survive in any situation he faces. Furthermore, he will know when to act independently and when to engage others for help.
