October 21-27 is CharacterCounts! Week. Maria Montessori gave wonderful ways to help children’s character, often by focusing on improving our own character. Here’s some word art based on a Montessori quote about respect: “If we could say, ‘We are respectful and courteous in our dealing with children, we treat them as we should like to be treated ourselves,’ we should have mastered a great educational principle and be setting an example of good education.” – Maria Montessori
