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.
The goal of Montessori education is to foster a childâs natural inclination to learn. Montessori teachers guide rather than instruct, linking each student with activities that meet his interests, needs, and developmental level. The classroom is designed to allow movement and collaboration, as it also promotes concentration and a sense of order. Unique learning materials beckon from accessible shelves, inviting small hands to take on new challenges, 1 concept or skill at a time.
