What We’ve Learned Blog

Welcome to my blog! Being in business since 2006 and a teacher for ten years before that, I have observed many things change, but one of the constants is children displaying the same type of developmentally appropriate, and sometimes inappropriate, behaviors — and parents asking for guidance on how to encourage them, reduce them, or even if they should do anything at all. (Struggling with potty training? Or getting your child to sleep? Got you covered.)

Then there’s the conundrum of what to do with changing times (which I address as they occur, like in my posts about Covid).

And sometimes I tell personal stories of my son, John, and husband, Rob (which they sometimes cringe over). I hope that sharing what I’ve learned here as a mom, wife, sci fi geek, and owner of Sunrise Montessori will aid you in your parenting journey…or at least give you a good laugh. 😉

Thanks for reading,
Shannon
