Those limits are determined by the child - through observing their ability to be self-disciplined, self-directed and making good work choices. <br /><br />I hope you were able to direct those who were doubting you to the Montessori Guide vimeo on "Meetings & Conferences" (being the cornerstone of creating a work plan). <br />Lollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042762632031207573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810423759943558521.post-60713975324833220532015-01-28T02:34:13.562-05:002015-01-28T02:34:13.562-05:00Thank you!

I just stumbled over the fact that as an adult I love planning (yes, I JUST stumbled over this thought) and that I want to share this skill with my children. Oh, right, that is what the work plan is FOR! THAT must be what is going on here. We are sharing a skill, and giving our children the tools they can USE to pursue their own dreams. They are exercising their own freedom of choice to focus their own ambitions in a way that and creates opportunities to do responsible work. :) <br /><br />THANK YOU for all your guidance and perseverance regarding this subject. I feel so lucky to finally understand.Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348594488081598421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810423759943558521.post-17997882838932046552015-01-27T10:48:20.170-05:002015-01-27T10:48:20.170-05:00Great post!
