The Swearing Boy, and Other Stories with Sandra Girlato

As a teacher, what to do with a boy who's cussing in the classroom? Sandra Girlato's got a funny and super insightful story on that. As a parent, what to do with a child who won't put on her shoes before leaving the house? Sandra got a story on that, too. How to get children to eat any kind of food? She's got one on that. How to help children care for others — genuinely, without lectures? She has a story around that, too. If you don't know Sandra Girlato — mom; grandma; Montessori teacher; Director of Training at Canada's Foundation for Montessori Education, the organization founded by the late Renilde Montessori, Maria Montessori's youngest granddaughter — then it's time to get to know her. Or at least to hear some of her awesomely insightful, and sometimes hilarious stories from over the last 30+ years of work with children.
