Today’s installment of my book series covers the book ‘The Highly Sensitive Child’ by Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. I read this book over COVID and it totally changed the way I look at kids, how to spot what’s going on with them in order to help them. In this episode, I go over the 4 areas in which high sensitivity presents itself so you can better see if your child is highly sensitive. The topics I cover in this episode are:High sensitivity in childrenThe D.O.E.S acronymThe high sensitivity screeningWorking through the book as a parent with high sensitivityHow the book works through different developmental stagesIf you want to suggest a book to me, then you can do so here - https://www.instagram.com/copingskillsforkids/Book recommendation: The Highly Sensitive Child: Helping our children thrive when the world overwhelms them by Elaine N.

Have you ever considered a different educational style for your children besides the conventional method? If so, perhaps you have heard of the Montessori method. It is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process. In this episode, I spoke to Montessori Home Consultant, Jeanne-Marie Paynel about the benefits of this education style. The topics we cover in this episode are;Jeanne’s backgroundCo-working nursery spacesWho is Doctor Montessori?What we used to think of new born babies brainsHow we see children and education nowThe differences of a Montessori school and conventional educationMixed age classes and the benefits“Help me to do it by myself” the Montessori MotoWhy the Montessori method doesn’t use a cribGetting your child to help with food prepThe red flags to look out for when finding a Montessori schoolAnd remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!—About The Guest - Jeanne-Marie PaynelJeanne-Marie Paynel, M.Ed, is a Parenting Mentor, Montessori Home Consultant, and Doula supporting parents to confidently raise the next generation of good-hearted humans.
