Hello! Welcome to the LTF Podcast! I am so glad you're here. In this episode I ramble on about routines; how to establish them and why they matter. This information can be applied to the classroom or at home. 
This episode is linked to the last episode about independence. Children are always in search of themselves, and who they are in the world, and we often get in their way. Establishing freedom within boundaries via routines will help the child to develop self-awareness, confidence feelings of safety, pride, and community all while building independence too. Routines are not bad! Only those charts and when we hold on to them so tight we refuse to adjust as needed.

Hello and welcome to the LTF Podcast! I am so excited to welcome you to another episode in which I share some insights on understanding childhood better. In this episode, I explore the notion that your young child doesn't need you in the ways you might think they do and that sometimes, getting out of their way is the best thing to do for them.  I will be sharing some advice and ideas for you to facilitate independence for your child at home, what true quality time together means, and how all of this can lead to a life long relationship of trust, empathy, and love between you and your child. Enjoy! 

Welcome Back! Although let's be real, most of you have been back to school for a couple of months now. But better late than never I suppose. 

In this episode, I share with you ideas for how to help your child or your students adjust to the new school year routine. 
I honestly believe these ideas are for any time of the year and hold true for establishing new routines in general, not just for attending school. 
Also, my advice applies to homeschool, general education and Montessori school. I feel that a lot of these ideas are pretty universal. 
As always, we follow the child, meeting them exactly where they are. 
Thank you for tuning in!
