In the latest episode of ‘Grounded and Soaring,’ host Terry Dubow invites Marin Montessori School’s Eluna Antle and Carla Rummo to explore the acceleration of adolescence that we see everywhere in our culture.
Eluna, an Upper Elementary teacher, and Carla, a parent of young adolescents, describe how extending childhood with an additional year in a Montessori Elementary class nurtures resilient, curious, and emotionally intelligent young individuals.
Episode Highlights:
- The significance of Montessori education in countering the early onset of adolescent pressures.
- A deep dive into the sixth grade at MMS: the extra year that makes a difference in a child’s life.
- Addressing parental concerns about digital distractions and the importance of preserving childhood innocence.This discussion is pivotal for parents and educators seeking to foster a balanced, holistic developmental journey for children in an era of accelerated adolescence.
Terry is the Director of Communications and Story at Marin Montessori School. A classroom teacher for 30 years, he manages Grounded and Soaring.
