The International Montessori Council/Montessori Foundation is hosting a conference next weekend and Julia was invited to speak! Come hang out with her while she talks about what you really want to know.

Join Julia at the online Childhood Potential Conference on Tuesday, November 8. Her talk focuses on Practical Parenting Tips to Support the Brain. It should be a real show-stopper loaded with essentials for peaceful parenting including:

• Brain basics:
• The brain never stops changing
• Experience guides brain development
• Use it or loose: the children need to be active in the world to benefit from it (not passive learners)
• Helping the child gain independence to grow strong brain networks
• The stress response and how to avoid it
• Toileting and bedtime tips

Hope to see you there!
