"Many thanks
for your help. Can I just say that I think you are offering a fantastic
service and helping with questions over email is a great idea. We
don't have a Montessori school here and there are no training courses in
Spain so this is really the only opportunity for me to get professional
advice on my attempts at Montessori adaptation of my parenting!! Most of
my doubts are about how strict I should be following the Montessori style,
and my hunch is that he is too young to follow all the details but at the
same time I think I should be consistent with the general principles..."--Olga
"It always amazes
me how simple montessori method is in teaching any area of study. As
I was reading your reply I clearly understood it and it made sense. I asked
the question because I was feeling like I was not covering enough language/vocabulary
into our study even thou we have covered more material than schools. Thank
you so much for making your assistance available. You are greatly appreciated."--Hiwot

"Thank you so much for your thoughtful
response. It really helps, and gives me a lot to think about,
and some very concrete ways we can focus on meeting [our child's] needs
through this move. We have a lot of changes about us over the next
few months, with me going back to work fulltime, dad taking over the stay-at-home
parent duties, and moving to a new place. Your thoughts on making these
adjustments smoothly are just extraordinarily helpful and appreciated!"--Ashley
"Your lessons
and advice have been very helpful, particularly as I'm a payroll
mother and don't have a lot of time with my son: your service is an excellent
way to stay in tune with his development, and with him, and helps us to
grow together. We like Montessori!"--Petit Canard
"I don't mean
to be overly dramatic but I'm esctatic about these lessons!... It's
also so nice to be able to talk to [correspond by e-mail with] someone
else who loves it---My husband shares my strong belief in the philosophy,
but he can only take so much!!! I could probably talk about it all
day long!!! :0)"--Kristin
"Hi, Lisa. I want to thank you for everything....
I appreciate all your assistance and everything you've done. You answered
all my pressing questions and concerns and I feel like I've found better
direction for our Montessori homeschool environment! And that's HUGE!"--Kristin
"Thanks again for all of the easy to
understand links and info. One of the things that grated on my nerves
about my Montessori training was the all or nothing approach. I felt
like if the children picked up something the "wrong" way all was lost.
I don't feel that judgement from your material. I know it is best
to hold as fast and true to the original as possible but sometimes it isn't
practical. I am looking forward to integrating as much Montessori
as possible into my own style of teaching with my children. This is definitely
giving me a place to start."--Cheryl
