Understanding and managing emotions is a crucial part of early childhood development. At Explore Montessori, we believe in providing the right resources to help children navigate their feelings effectively. We’re excited to share this insightful article from How We Montessori, which offers valuable tools and activities for teaching children about emotions. These resources can help foster emotional intelligence and empathy, essential skills for personal and social growth.
