“You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters: everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger”  - James 1:19    Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    Podcasts by Series  Level One Book Study  Level Two Book Study  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.   Sr Mary Rose Bingham became a Dominican Sister of St. Cecilia of Nashville, TN in 1980.  She has had the opportunity to serve as a teacher and principal in several states.  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?     Podcasts Episodes You May Be Interested In:    161: RPC2 Ch. 2- Mystery of Time   160: Introduction and Ch.1 of RPC2   139: What to try when things seem to be failing with Cathy Johanni   124: Work of the Second Plane Child          Books you might be interested in:  The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Year Olds  History of the Kingdom of God Part 1: Creation to Parouisa  History of the Kingdom of God Part 2: Liturgy and the Building of the Kingdom  Life in the Vine: The Joyful Journey Continues      BECOME A CGSUSA MEMBER    CGS 7 Minute Video      CGS Atrium Locator - Please check if your church atrium in in our atrium locator.  If not, please send this link to the COORDINATOR of your CGS program to add your atrium to the locator.

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favor.” Luke 2:52    Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    Podcasts by Series  Level One Book Study  Level Two Book Study  Dr. Montessori advised, “We must revise the learning environments and approaches for these new and different children. Our method should correspond to these different stages of the child’s life, finding a different environment, in a different way of dealing with him (the child) in each stage.” Creative Development in the Child, Volume I  Cathy Johanni joins us on the podcast to discuss the psychological characteristics of the second plane child and how these characteristics inform our work in the atrium.   Cathy Johanni lives in Columbus, Ohio where she has enjoyed accompanying children on their spiritual journeys for more than two decades. She is recognized as a formation leader in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd at levels I, II, and III.  She has been involved in Montessori education for a decade, working with children ages 5-14.   A member of the editorial committee for the United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Annual Journal. Cathy has authored articles and contributed to The Roman Missal Third Edition and the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: Changes to Materials . She holds a Bachelor’s degree in cultural anthropology from Princeton University, a Master’s degree from The Ohio State University and Montessori Elementary certificates. Married for 31 years, she is the mother of five.  Listener Question for today:   How can we best help children integrate into the atrium when they begin CGS later, without having gone through Level I? In my parish, I have a number of children who are beginning in Level II around second grade because of sacrament preparation. They don’t have the Level I foundation, and I want to serve them well while also honoring the method. How can I guide them so they can enter into the work of the atrium in a meaningful way, even though they’ve missed the earlier formation?   Podcasts Episodes with Cathy Johanni:    Tools for Freedom and Responsibility 139: What to try when things seem to be failing with Cathy Johanni  124: Work of the Second Plane Child  AnthropologicalCatechesis        Books you might be interested in:  The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Year Olds  History of the Kingdom of God Part 1: Creation to Parouisa  History of the Kingdom of God Part 2: Liturgy and the Building of the Kingdom  Life in the Vine: The Joyful Journey Continues      BECOME A CGSUSA MEMBER    CGS 7 Minute Video      CGS Atrium Locator - Please check if your church atrium in in our atrium locator.  If not, please send this link to the COORDINATOR of your CGS program to add your atrium to the locator.
