Montessori and Mindfulness Angeline Stoll Lillard

SECOND EDITION. Based on the author's 50 years of Montessori work in 30 countries: teaching, consulting with schools and governments, speaking, and as an oral examiner for Montessori teacher training courses. Mindfulness is an ancient practice in the East, a great need for health and happiness in the West, and an everyday practice in authentic Montessori schools, in the homes of Montessori savvy parents, and under the tutelage of exceptional teachers of all kinds. The author tells her own story of 50+ years of meditation and working in the Montessori field, and gives detailed suggestions for both parents and teachers to aid the development of this skill in themselves and in the children they live with. A chapter "Mindfulness Practices in Education: Montessori's Approach" by Dr. Angeline Lillard, is included in this book.
