Montessori Video, Bhutan - Practical Life, Real Work

See http://michaelolaf.net for more information on Montessori from birth on. Resa is 20 months old. See this page: http://michaelolaf.net/AIBhutan.html for more information on her life in Paro, Bhutan, where children are traditionally included in all of the daily life of the family instead of only playing with toys or watching TV. Her mother asked her to "look at the camera" and Resa replied "No! I won't look up." The adults were surprised and pleased to learn that this insistence on doing real work was valuable for many reasons.
