Coping With Death and Grief. Death is inevitable, yet the loss of a close friend or family member always showers us with a range of emotions. One day we might desperately try to avoid the pain, anxiety and feelings of helplessness we feel when a loved one dies.
Montessori education is both a philosophy of child development and a rationale for guiding such development. There are four elements to the Montessori method: auto-education using didactic materials; individual education; a prepared environment and the Directress. Auto-Education. The main idea of the Montessori method is recognition of the fact that no person is ever educated by another. He must do it himself or it will never be done.
Montessori education offers our children opportunities to develop their potential as they step out into the world as engaged, competent, responsible, and respectful citizens with an understanding and appreciation that learning is for life. 1  Each child is valued as a unique individual.
