100 Words

Here's the 100 Words:

Do you want your child to be an independent thinker, able to solve new challenges, with a life-long passion for learning? At SBMS, we foster children’s natural curiosity of the world around them. Through practical hands-on activities children gain a deep, comprehensive understanding of language, math, history, geography, all sciences, the arts, and more. Our children’s learning experience allows them to excel in their further academic careers and become the creative, entrepreneurial leaders of tomorrow. 

People ask me, "What is it about Montessori?"
Those 100 words are a good start in answering the question.

I'm writing a new book: 100 Words

The book will answer the questions we all have, and each answer will be 100 Words. Watch for it.

What is your question?

What would Chris Rock say?

Imagine the Chris Rock rant: 
"I'm so busy."
"I'm too tired." 
"I have this to do." 
"I haven't finished, yet." 
"In a minute."
"As soon as I finish this."
"Just a moment."
"Almost, ready."
"Wait just a minute."

Really? Are any of those yours? Have you heard yourself, lately?

Do you know what you sound like to a three year-old?
Or a thirteen year-old?

No. Negative. Negator. Nope. Not.
"No" is what you're saying, "No!" 
The rant, again: "Leave me alone!"
"I don't love you!"
"I don't regard you!"
"You're not important enough for me!"
"Go away!"
"Not now!"

Come on, now dads.

Love is all there is, especially before it's too late and replaced by another base human emotion.
