In our fast-paced world, it is sometimes difficult to remember that waiting is okay. In fact, waiting is often beneficial in the long run. Whether you are opening a new school, learning a skill, or guiding a child to read, taking your time and having patience will lead to greater success. And waiting doesn’t have to be passive – it just means that you have the time you need to practice, take care of the details, and dedicate every effort to your goals. Use your time wisely and be ready for long-term success!

As part of NAMC’s anniversary celebration, I have been asked to share 20 lessons that stand out in my experience of providing Montessori teacher training programs worldwide over the past 20 years. We are happy to share the next tip in our series that we are presenting over the next few weeks. I hope you find some of these ideas helpful in your own Montessori journey!
