She gave me a detention.

I didn't I wasn't remorseful at all.

So it's definitely the long game.

Yeah, this is such a fun project because um parents were always asking me about applying Montessori in the home.

And I'd say, Oh, you can read a little bit of this book and a little bit of this book and read this book, but don't I don't really like this bit of this book.

And and I just decided after 15 years of working in Montessori, I think I just need to write the parents' handbook.

But parents don't have like Montessori books are beautiful, but they're really hard to read for tired parents.

So I really wanted to make it very

Very easy to read, and so there's chapters on like how do you set up your home, monitor style, what kind of activities can I do?

Um, and then into the more nitty-gritty of parenting your child in a monstrous way, how you balance that curiosity and engaging their curiosity and making them a curious learner with how they take responsibility as well.

So that was some of the setting limits, and how you can make sure they make amends at the end, and then there's also, of course, a chapter on.

on taking care of ourselves as an adult so that we can help them in this process and even how you can work with others like family because sometimes we go, yeah, we're really into this one story idea, but our grandparents do something completely different.

So how can we then start to work with them as well?

Um and yeah, it was such a delightful project because Hioko um illustrated it for me.

She's a Japanese illustrator who used to come to my classes.

So she hand cut beautiful illustrations for the book.

And because she came to my classes, she knew the materials so well.

So there's beautiful little watering cans and things that just are laid out through the book and it's got a light airy design.

So it's really easy to read.

All the tired parents observed, it's really, really easy to read.
