The back-to-school season and the management of emotions.

Dis Pourquoi...? Paroles d'Enfants

The year is over! What did the children take away from their year? What were their favorite Montessori activities? How do they imagine first grade?

Let's hear from the children! Discover the words of Louis, Antoine, Eliott, Helija, and Samuele.

As a bonus, find at the end of the episode the Douces Maternelles tip: how to help children tell about their day?

An episode to listen to with your child to help them talk about their year or to help them project themselves into kindergarten if they are starting in September!

We are Douces Maternelles, a network of bilingual alternative and caring schools, halfway between the Scandinavian kindergarten and the traditional school. Happy listening!

L'école qui donne envie de redevenir tout petit
