DVD in a child's hands
A four disc DVD series by Eduardo Cuevas introducing parents and educators to child development from a Montessori perspective. It is built as a professional development tool: the main workshop across the discs, plus a further disc setting out how to run a parent study programme, which is what makes it usable by a school rather than only by an individual. Useful where a setting wants parents and staff working from the same understanding rather than two different ones. Four disc set.
