I write a letter to my kids about a moment I almost interrupted…them lost in a world of Legos. It wasn’t just play; it was deep focus, flow, and creativity unfolding quietly in front of me.
This letter explores Montessori’s idea of uninterrupted work, the importance of protecting those moments when children dive deep, so their concentration can build and blossom. It’s also a reflection on how often we adults break our own flow, and what it might look like to protect that sacred space for ourselves, too.
What you’ll hear:
* A heartfelt journal entry about witnessing my kids building Legos in deep focus
* Reflections on Montessori’s respect for concentration and presence
* Thoughts on resisting the urge to interrupt and instead protect the child’s flow
* A gentle invitation to nurture quiet work in your own home and life
Why this episode matters:
In a world buzzing with distraction, uninterrupted work is revolutionary.
This episode reminds us that presence — for our kids and ourselves — is a gift worth protecting, and that softness in fatherhood means honoring those quiet moments with respect and love.
