In this episode, your hosts Judy Jablon and Nichole Parks are joined by Joelle Wheatley, member of LFC’s community and mother of four and six-year old children, and Maria Rosado, Montessori Teacher and LFC Facilitator, for a conversation about what it means to cultivate and be in calm emotional and physical environments, and how this helps create thriving communities for children.

Show notes: LFC's book 11 Simple Rules to Create Thriving Communities for Children is available for purchase here.

A quote to take away: Maria shared, “Sometimes it is not about you. It is about [the child] and what they're feeling and what they're going through - and just taking it step by step, moment by moment, and just slowing down and taking that pause to kind of just think for a moment, how do I want to react to this? What do I want the outcome to be? And how am I going to do that for myself?”

Thanks for listening!
