15. Mother As an older mother of three young children, I was glad to meet Neeru at the Family Life Resource Center, Canton City School district. I had lost my mother before having children. Neeru filled in as my second mom so to speak. She taught us the Montessori method with our children and teaching them life is about choices at the earliest age. This forever changed our life as a family and how we raised our children. My children are grown. One is an attorney , one an expert hair stylist and colorist , and one is a scientist/ chemist. I owe a debt or gratitude to Neeru because she has been my mentor for years after Family Life. She is an expert with early childhood development in the most patient and kindest way. Mary Mother Dear Neeru, I have learned so much from you. Like how to keep my cool and respect my kids, specially don’t like those negative things let you down. You are a rock and support in my life, every Tuesday and Thursday when me and my children attended. I looked forward to those 2 days. Thanks and God bless Georgia Mother MINDFUL PARENTING
