Sr. Mary Rose joins us today to explore the role of the adult for the level two and three atria, how to prepare, qualities of an adult serving the 2nd plane child, as well as the role of the assistant in the level two and level three atria.

Besides a Masters in Educational Administration, she has a Masters in Elementary Education with Montessori Primary and a Masters in Theology. She is a CGS Level 1 and 2 formation Leader and pending Level 3. She delights in being with children in a Level 1,2, and 3 atria while also traveling to give formation courses both nationally and internationally.
Listener Question for Today-
What are some ways to help a 3-year-old who cries for his mom during the first sessions of the year? How do you discern whether to keep trying such tactics as diversion, keeping the child close to you, etc., or to have the child wait a few weeks or months before returning to the atrium because he simply isn't ready? I've found this issue to be especially difficult when a crying child causes distress in other children nearby. Also, is it ever appropriate to have a parent present in the atrium with a child who is anxious about separating for any length of time?
