This weeks journal entry, I reflect on a quiet, ordinary moment — watching my children stack wooden blocks with calm and care. It’s in these small, slow spaces that I’m reminded of what Montessori teaches us: to respect our children’s process, to trust their timing, and to meet them where they are — not where we wish they were.
Patience isn’t just something we give to our kids. It’s something we grow inside ourselves, over and over again. And in that practice, there’s a softness — one that feels more like strength than anything I’ve ever known.
What you’ll hear:
A heartfelt letter to my kids about learning patience side-by-side
Reflections on Montessori’s deep respect for the child’s natural rhythm
Honest thoughts on the tension between our adult urgency and a child’s slower pace
A gentle prompt for noticing where patience might already be showing up in your life
Why this episode matters:
Parenting often asks us to move faster, fix quicker, and hold it all together. But Montessori parenting — and fatherhood done with softness — invites a different kind of strength: the kind that shows up slowly, quietly, and with open hands. This episode is a space to breathe, reflect, and return to what really matters.
