Conclusion
MIndfulness Practices in Education: Montessori's Approach (Dr. Angeline Lillard)

This book has the magic of leading the reader to be able to understand how Montessori environments offer the practice of "mindfulness" in such a natural and authentic way through work, concentration and being part of all the wonderful experiences, as children and also as adults.
—Cecilia Elguero, Director of Training, Instituto Montessori Internacional de Queretaro, Mexico

The author has a deep and broad understanding of Montessori and life long experience with meditation. Supplemented by wonderful pictures and stories from worldwide travels, this book gives a sound portrayal of how mindfulness manifests in this most profound and wise approach to children's education. Many thanks!
—Angeline Lillard, Professor of Psychology,
University of Virginia

The author writes with clarity and simplicity yet takes on the complexity of Montessori philosophy and contemporary thought on Mindfulness with grace and care. Her overall theme that personal fulfillment leads to care for others and for our environment echoes throughout each chapter and creates a wonderful symbiosis of Montessori thought and Mindfulness practice, with interesting retold personal stories throughout.
—Lynne Breitenstein-Aliberti, NAMTA (North American Montessori Teachers Association)
