Simone has a fascinating conversation with Trina from DIY Corporate Mom from The Philippines about how she embraces the Montessori philosophy as a way of parenting as a working parent. We cover so many questions like:

if it's possible to do Montessori at home if you work
what about Montessori and Disney? (two things you don't often see in the same sentence)
how we can say goodbye in a respectful way with our child
working parents and stay-at-home parents
how to guide the carers/grandparents looking after our child
using our spaces efficiently
lots of Montessori art ideas
what it's like having a nearly 4 year old child and 11 year old child doing Montessori
what Montessori is like for a 6-12 year old
a beautiful insight into the Maria Montessori Model UN, and
how to get your partner on board with Montessori

And don't forget to listen right to the end when Simone answer's this week's listener question from Megan:

My 14 month old boy is always on the go and although we have glimpses of his intense concentration, much of the Montessori method seems to have no affect on him. Any tips or tricks for implementing Montessori for boys, specifically?
