Mindfulness and Supporting Children's Emotional Literacy

This Month on Modern Montessori
We’re joined by the inspiring Joanne Lo—an education consultant with over 20 years of global experience spanning Hong Kong, Toronto, New York, and now London. As Director of JL Education Ltd and Co-Founder of Our Mindful Connection Club, Joanne blends the art of mindfulness with the science of education, helping children ages 3–12 grow in both heart and mind.

In this episode, Joanne shares practical strategies for becoming more emotionally present with our children and offers insight into guiding them toward true emotional literacy. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or simply someone who cares deeply about children’s development, this conversation will leave you with tools and inspiration to nurture empathy, resilience, and connection in the next generation.
